Britain issued Balfour Declaration to “get rid of the Jews” who “tried to take control of the economy” - Palestinian Writers’ Union
Palestinian Writers' Union General Secretariat member Talal Abu Afifa: "These Jews, ever since they arrived in Britain in the 18th century… at the start of the 20th century, they began to constitute a problem for Britain. Especially because the Jews, wherever they settle, they try to take control of the country's economy and wealth. When the Zionists in Britain began to do this, bitterness and complaints began from the civilians, economists, and statesmen, that the Jews are attempting to take control of Britain. They did this not just in Britain, but in most of the European states…
Official PA TV host: "Indeed, wherever they arrived destruction followed."
Talal Abu Afifa:: Therefore, Britain thought about how it would get rid of the Jews [and issued the Balfour Declaration]."
