Yesterday was the 107th anniversary of the scandalous Balfour Declaration by Britain during World War 1 to seize Palestine from the Ottoman Empire and plant in this predominantly Muslim Arab land an illegitimate entity for East Europe’s non-Semitic Zionists who claimed conversion to Judaism, although without any connection to the ancient Israelite tribes.

This intricate anti-Muslim plot, which continues to bleed the Islamic world, was made public a day after the British army invaded Gaza on November 1 to avenge its two earlier defeats at the hands of the Ottomans in March and April of the same year. 

For a whole week, the British invaders massacred the Palestinian people, including many members of the Christian Arab minority, thus starting a bloodbath that has climaxed today in the ongoing genocide of Gaza, where over 13 months of nonstop US-UK supported aggression by the Zionists has reduced the coastal strip to rubble and killed 43,000 men, women, and children.

Over a hundred thousand other Palestinians have been seriously injured (many of them maimed for life) by the east European occupiers, and even mosques, churches, hospitals, schools, and universities destroyed.

This is the bloodletting legacy of Arthur Balfour. A former prime minister, he agreed to accept lower post of foreign secretary in the cabinet of David Lloyd George in order to implement the Zionist plot of illegal migration to Palestine and finally setting up in 1948 of a spurious entity called Israel to serve as a neo colonial military base for destabilization and domination of West Asia.

Balfour is without the least doubt burning in the hottest part of hell along with all those involved in the plight and plunder of Palestine, including the evil mind of Zionism Chaim Weizmann, and the Leader of the British Jews, Lionel Walther Rothschild, the recipient of the disgraceful declaration dated November 2.

To the shock of the Muslim world, the scandalous Balfour Declaration, published in the press on November 9 – a week before start of the Battle of Jerusalem (Bayt al-Moqaddas) – signaled end of four centuries of Ottoman rule and beginning of the enslavement of the Palestinian people.

It is among the great injustices of history that on the pretext of giving Jews a homeland when the descendants of the ancient Israelites numbered a mere five percent in Palestine, a whole land was illegally handed over to non-Semitic east Europeans.

History bears witness that during the course of history the overwhelming majority of Jews had embraced Islam – preceded by Christianity whose adherents last century were greater in number than the those still clinging to Judaism.

This is the sad story of Palestine and the Palestinian people whose plight will only end with the determined martyrdom-seeking liberation of their homeland by the native and neighbouring people from the past 76 years of Zionist occupation.
