The city of London has rejected a Palestinian anti-Israel ad campaign claiming the 1917 Balfour Declaration was the “harbinger of the Palestinian disaster.”
The ad campaign, called Make It Right, was commissioned by the Palestinian diplomatic mission to the UK. The posters include photographs depicting the “the peaceful life of the Arab population in Palestine” before the establishment of Israel in 1948, next to photographs taken after 1948 that purport to show the “destruction and bereavement among the Palestinian people.”
The Transport for London agency said the banners were set to be displayed in London’s underground subway stations ahead of centennial Balfour Declaration ceremonies in November. But the posters did not meet the guidelines for “images or messages which relate to matters of public controversy or sensitivity,” The Guardian reported.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has also rejected a push by the Palestinians to apologize for the Balfour Declaration and will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a special dinner in London to celebrate the document’s centennial.

If anything, the British should apologize for stabbing Jews in the back during the mandate rule. The British colonialists used the Balfour declaration to morally justify their land grab after WW1, then reversed its implementation soon after. Forget establishment of the Jewish homeland as per Balfour declaration, the British severely limited Jewish immigration while letting in unlimited Arab squatters from the neighboring countries, who became known as the present day “palesinians”. The British chopped off a major piece of our land and created a state of Jordan out of it. The British permitted Arab riots while disarming and persecuting the Jewish defenders, which resulted in numerous victims and the judenrein Chevron, Gaza and other locations with ancient Jewish communities. The British made every effort to ensure that a maximum number of Jews perished in the Holocaust by using the naval blockade to prevent the Jewish refugees from escaping to their own land. I won’t even mention the British propping of Saudis that resulted in setting up wahabism as the prevalent Islamic ideology, won’t mention the creation of an artificial state of Iraq with its three main groups constantly at war, want mention squishing various warring tribes into single African states, etc. The whole world still suffers real blood and misery from the British colonialist “divide and conquer” strategy. The British are the true Evil Empire, and will be brutalized and destroyed by their own islamonazis whom they so foolishly imported.
