So youre hooked on the news? Browse through some of this; then get back to me! The Balfour Declaration Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917 Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet. “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.” I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Your sincerely, Arthur James Balfour Who is Arthur J. Balfour? Who is this mythological Rothschild character? Who was Lloyd George… make that Prime Minister Lloyd George? What is a Zionist? What is the significance of France’s Dreyfus Affair to the Zionist movement? About The Palestine Mandate Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. The formal objective of the League of Nations Mandate System was to administer parts of the defunct Ottoman Empire, which had been in control of the Middle East since the 16th century, “until such time as they are able to stand alone.” Why was the U.S. reluctant to enter WWI? Why was Great Britain eager for the U.S. to enter WWI? Why did Great Britain support the Balfour Declaration? What is The British White Paper of 1939? What is all this mumbo-jumbo? What is MJ going on about now? LOL! Why is this all so relevant to today’s news and current events? Hmmm! I just wonder! I’m just saying... Peace, love and blessings! Goodnight! M
