[ Editor’s Note: Stuart has a very full review in his article below on how we got to where we are now from a beginning orchestrated by the usual suspects. It is filled with gem historical quotes. I would advise readers to save this as it is the kind of material that Google breaks links to.
We are at the point where 20th century history has to be dispersed in order to be preserved. The millennials are currently showing no interest in these kinds of information battles.

This is a message for our MPs at Westminster. It’s much the same as the letter I sent my constituency MP yesterday 15 May, the anniversary of the ‘Nakba’ (catastophe) recalling the expulsion in 1948 of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to make way for Israel’s declaration of independence. Many were massacred, the others sent into exile to languish forever in refugee camps.
‘Nakba 73’ reminds us that, while Jews from all over the world and with no ancestral links to the Holy Land are encouraged to flood into Palestine, the indigenous Palestinians (Muslim and Christian) who were dispossessed and ejected are still prevented by the illegal occupier (Israel) from returning to their homes.
For several days the world has watched in horror and disgust the wanton violence meted out by Israel to Palestinians protesting about their never-ending torment and hopelessness.
Yet leaders at Westminster haven’t uttered a word. How would they, living peacefully in England’s leafy suburbs, enjoy being targeted by Zionist thugs and removed at gunpoint from their homes and lands, never to return?
The Board of Deputies, which claims to be “the voice of the UK Jewish community”, responds to the outrages committed by the Jewish state by condemning the “unremittent rocket fire against Israeli civilians by Hamas” and saying nothing about Israel’s disproportionate bombardment of Gaza civilians by land, sea and air, or its unlawful racist policies that have terrorised and suffocated Palestinians for more than 70 years.
“Israel has the right to defend its citizens and it is the responsibility of Hamas to immediately halt all rocket fire from Gaza,” they say, forgetting that people under illegal military occupation have a perfect right in international law to mount an armed resistance.
Yet most Westminster’s MPs and ministers repeatedly take their lead from BoD propaganda and say “Oh, but Israel has a right to defend herself”. So nothing is done about the Holy Land’s horror show, which has become Britain’s permanent legacy in the Middle East.
Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, a Zionist convert, in 1917 penned a letter to the most senior Jew in England, Lord Rothschild, pledging the Government’s “best endeavours” to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. Balfour also wrote: “We do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country.”
It was a gross betrayal of our Arab allies in WW1. Many in Parliament objected, including Lord Sydenham who remarked: “What we have done, by concessions not to the Jewish people but to a Zionist extreme section, is to start a running sore in the East, and no-one can tell how far that sore will extend.” Those words ought to be stamped indelibly on the rump of every politician in our Parliament.
Balfour inserted into his ‘declaration’ that “nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing and non-Jewish communities….” on the insistence of the only Jew in the British Cabinet, Lord Montague, who opposed the deal. But this safeguard was jettisoned as soon as Britain lost control of events. Montague was anti-Zionist to the point of writing: “I would willingly disfranchise every Zionist. I would be almost tempted to proscribe the Zionist organisation as illegal and against the national interest.”
He went on to say: “I feel that the Government are asked to be the instrument for carrying out the wishes of a Zionist organisation largely run, as my information goes, at any rate in the past, by men of enemy descent or birth…. I would say to Lord Rothschild that the Government will be prepared to do everything in their power to obtain for Jews in Palestine complete liberty of settlement and life on an equality with the inhabitants of that country who profess other religious beliefs. I would ask that the Government should go no further.”
Not content with the territory allocated to them under the 1947 UN Partition Plan the Zionists declared statehood ignoring all boundaries. Their ‘Plan Dalet’ offensive, begun beforehand, had already seized swathes of Arab-designated land aand townships at gunpoint. Jewish militia – the Irgun, Haganah, Palmach and Lehi – raided towns and villages forcing inhabitants to flee.
Numerous attrocities were committed including the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem (headquarters of the British administration) in 1946 murdering 91, and the massacres at Deir Yassin and Lydda (Lod) in 1948.
Those crimes are a nasty stain on the flags of the United Nations and especially of Britain, which hadn’t the backbone to take action then and still shirks that responsibility today.
The eventual admission of the new state of Israel to the UN in 1949 was conditional upon honouring the terms of the UN Charter and complying with UN General Assembly Resolutions 181 (the Partition Plan) and 194 (concerning, among other things, the status of Jerusalem and the return of Palestinian refugees). But Israel had no intention of ever fulfilling its obligations and to this day repeatedly violates those provisions and the principles of the Charter.
Article 11 of 194 states that “refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.” This was based on recommendations by the UN Mediator for Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte, who was afterwards murdered by Jewish para-militaries for upsetting their plans for domination.
Israel also fails to comply with the provisions of the EU-Israel Association Agreement of 1995 which requires adherence to the principles of the UN Charter and “respect for human rights and democratic principle [which] constitute an essential element of this agreement” in return for trading privileges. It gets the privileges without delivering on its pledges. It is continually rewarded – especially by the British government – for breaching those principles and disrespecting the terms of the agreement.
In 2004 the International Court of Justice at The Hague ruled that construction of what’s often referred to as the Apartheid Wall breaches international law and Israel must dismantle it and make reparation. But Israel continues building its hideous barrier with American tax dollars.
The ICJ also ruled that “all States are under an obligation not to recognize the illegal situation resulting from the construction of the wall and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by such construction”. It seems Westminster wasn’t paying attention and in any case couldn’t care less about the rule of law when it comes to Israel-Palestine.
No peace without justice, so when will justice be done?
As things now stand Israel has all but succeeded in fulfilling Zionist ambitions and making its illegal Occupation permanent by establishing irreversible ‘facts on the ground’. The international community has allowed this to happen and there’s no chance of the regime willingly handing back enough land and relinquishing enough control for a truly viable Palestinian state.
Netanyahu and others have stated as much. So annexation of ‘Greater Jerusalem’ continues unabated as does squatter settlement. The ‘Apartheid’ Wall still bites deep into Palestinian territory separating the Palestinians from their precious farmlands and other resources.
Israel clearly intends to keep control of the entire country while shunting the Palestinians into an ever more whittled-down, fragmented, impoverished, semi-sovereign, non-viable, non-militarised mini-state denied free access to the outside world. So talk of peace is futile. It is simply a ploy by Israel’s ‘friends’ to buy the apartheid regime more time to complete its evil plan.
It’s worth remembering that the UN Partition Plan of 1947 intended Jerusalem to be a ‘corpus separatum’ under international administration, for the obvious reason that the Holy City cannot belong to any single religious persuasion. None has exclusive claim. So the quaint idea that Jerusalem’s final status could be “determined by negotiation” is plain silly.
Likewise that Israel’s annexation of Jerusalem should be allowed to continue. In the meantime, in case anyone’s in doubt, East Jerusalem (which includes the Old City) is internationally recognised as Palestinian territory.
There can be no peace without justice, and the world waits for justice to be done. But our politicians still woffle about a two-state solution and negotiations between the parties when one party has a gun to the other’s head…. and when international law has already settled these matters and waits to be enforced.
Israel and its supporters are fond of accusing anyone criticising Israel’s ‘squatter’ programme as ‘delegitimizing Israel’, in other words denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination and their right to exist. That’s rich when the Israelis have been de-legitimising the Palestinians by blocking their right to self-determination, flatly refusing them freedom of movement, and robbing them of their lands and resources.
UN resolution 2334, which condemned Israel’s continuing squats on Palestinian land as illegal and an obstacle to peace, has done nothing to disturb the cosy relationship between Her Majesty’s Government and the thieving Israelis.
On the contrary, the Government and the BoD are always telling us that Israel is our friend and ally, and our values are their values. That is sick. Israel has no friends outside the Westminster and Washington bubbles.
No decent person, knowing the truth, would ally themselves to such a racist and cruel regime. HMG’s alliance with Israel isn’t approved by the British people and only serves to give us a bad name throughout the Middle East.
And if the Johns Hopkins DNA study, published by Oxford University Press in 2012, is correct perhaps no more than 2% of Jews now in Israel have any biblical or ancestral links to the Israel of biblical times.
It seems the Palestinians are the true Semites, and the anti-Semites are the Israeli regime itself and its army of inquisitors and stooges. So the whole anti-Semitism argument falls down.
Key question: what possesses British parliamentarians to support a deeply unpleasant foreign military power like Israel and to call themselves “a passionate Zionist” – as Mr Johnson does – when Standards in Public Life make clear that they should not allow themselves to come under such inappropriate influence? And in debates they seldom if ever declare (as they should do) their links to the Zionist conspiracy.
Johnson also wrote in Ynet News that he’s “a passionate defender of Israel” and “a life-long friend, admirer and supporter of Israel… . Our commitment to Israel’s security will be unshakable while I am Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.” How dare he commit the British people to such a degenerate policy?
This when Israel was announcing it was about to help itself to even more Palestinian territory. It’s hard to think of a more despicable remark for a leader of our great nation.
He should reflect that being a Friend of Israel means embracing the terror on which the state of Israel was built, approving the dispossession of the innocent and the oppression of the powerless and applauding the discriminatory laws against non-Jews who resisted being ejected and inconveniently remain in their homeland.
It means aligning oneself with the vile mindset that abducts civilians — including children — and imprisons and tortures them without trial, imposes hundreds of military checkpoints, severely restricts the movement of people and goods, and interferes with Palestinian life at every level.
And it means the thumbs-up to Israeli gunboats shooting up Palestinian fishermen in their own territorial waters, the strangulation of the West Bank’s economy, the cruel 15-year blockade on Gaza and the bloodbaths inflicted on the tiny enclave’s packed population. And even the religious war that humiliates the Holy Land’s Muslims and Christians and prevents them visiting their holy places.
If, after all that, anyone is still Israel’s special friend, where is their self-respect?
Meanwhile, how safe is anyone under the threat of Israel’s 200 (or is it 400?) nukes? Israel is the only state in the region not to have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It hasn’t signed the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention either. It has signed but not ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, similarly the Chemical Weapons Convention. It is a rogue state.
The worsening situation is nearing the point where world opinion will not stand for this any longer and civil society action will take over while the international diplomatic community continues its shameful paralysis. BDS is moving in where the cowardly UN has left a moral vacuum and will become much more robustly, so get used to it.
So what, if anything, are you going to do to resolve the Holy Land crisis which your predecessors created and your own administration helps to perpetuate?
For truth, justice and peace,

The only country that has so far successfully ravaged both Washington and Jerusalem. The chickenshits never did attempt at Moscow though, they preferred French and Germans do it for them. Palestinians deserve at least a county/shire in England, or some chunks of Australia, as to what the UK has done to them.
The Nazis had a policy of killing 10 locals for every soldier killed by local people in occupied lands.
Israel’s kill ratio of palestinians to jews is many times more than the Nazis ever did.
Zionists in Australi presented aniti defamation laws into Australai deacades ago – this detsroyed free speech.
Then a zionist prime minister call Keating passed zionist laws to protect the massive migration plan zionists had in mind for australia. And protesters were judged as “inciting racial hatred”.
I left the Catholic Church and Christianity last year after a life time.
My conclsuion is anything from the mouth of Jewcannotbe believed.
The idea God revealed himself to a tiny race of camel hearders and gangsters is an abomination to the true God that has not revealed himslef to the world.
Any thinking person who swallows this notion of Gods special pets in the desert 10,000 years ago needs deep anti cult therapy. God would universally and equally reveal him or herself to all nations at once.
Elvin, you’re right. It was a committee job with outsiders calling the shots and the Cabinet finally agreed it. The only dissenters were Curzon and Montague. The rest were said to have been brought up as evangelicals and therefore easy meat for Zionist pressure. As Foreign Secretary Balfour was the appropriate minister of the Crown and with his signature it became ‘his’ letter. His boss Lloyd George held a righteous belief in Zionism so refusal might have been a resigning matter. The issues you bring up deserve a seperate and probably lengthy article on its own. It would certainly make good TV drama.
Thanks Stuart, I was depending on a thin memory thread to make my assertions, but I was fairly certain, and hoping it wouldn’t be too far out of line with the excellent books I had read on the subject. “THE CONTROVERSY of ZION” by Douglas Reed, and “PALESTINE: THE REALITY” by J.M.N. Jeffries
Reed’s published 1978, and Jeffries’s in 1939.
Yes, an in-depth article based on those two books alone, would blow the lid off of the the double-dealing dececeptions and unmitigated injustices committed in the establishment of that tiny M.E “State.”
All the major forces that helped Israhell come into this present state will ultimately suffer. The Zionist Israhell is pulling your pants: UK, USA within a decade will be beggars; the rest of Europe will be a wasteland. A major part of Middle-East will turn to ruin due to its duplicitous, false leaders. The Zionists for a very brief period will have a sense of triumph, then suddenly they will be wiped out of this world by none other than Jesus Christ Himself. By the way, the Trinitarian/Evangelical/Zionist Christians will have a great surprise awaiting them on Jesus Christ’s Second Coming in Damascus, Syria!
Until people realize their under magical control by occult societies that have laced their rituals/demons/spirits/whatever to every building in society that matters and every major and or important institution not just in the west, but in the east is run by those who believe in the old gods, who worship Lucifer and are hell-bent on mind-controlling everyone until there is a forever jackboot on everyone’s face while we all end up as not just actual slaves as in communism but mind control slaves in capitalism. We will continue getting nowhere.
While the Jewish diaspora is largely a bunch of mind control slaves who worship the entity known as Israel. There is no excuse by any single Israeli or Jew within the Jewish diaspora for the Holocaust that was done to the Palestinians when the state of Israel was first enacted. Over one million were killed, burnt, and thrown in ditches to make room for the incoming flood of the Jewish diaspora from Europe. 700,000 was admitted by Benny Morris to being displaced. And even he is lying about the number and the amount killed and Holocaust. IE offered up to lucifer as another blood sacrifice. If you ask the Palestinians it was way more than that. Israel’s creation was not paved with the dead of German Jews. It was paved with the dead of Palestinians.
This is not going to end until people around the world come to understand how usury and magical control have instilled mind control and subservience to Satanists who masquerade as religionists
Religion was the greatet con ever invented across the world to control the dumb sheep.
Religion is a disease that inflicts the human mind with the idea you do not have to get off your lazy backside and organise with others a plan to overcome problems.
Instead religion rewards laziness by offering your problem up as prayer so you do not have to get off your lazy butt and take action.
007, it seems you don’t believe in “religion,” especially “the God of Abraham” Christian type. Yet you ascribe “magical power” to Satanists!
It also appears, when it gets down to it, you are an atheist and a believer in evolution.
So rather than show awe and honor to your evident Creator, it seems you instead choose to believe you descended from a primordial mud hole; one of which it has been mathematically proven to be impossible to have ever existed. Me thinks you are the deluded one.
Whoops! Sorry 007, that was meant for amazon678
Mr. Littlewood, you being British, I presume, must be trying to draw fire in one way or another by this; “”Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, a Zionist convert, in 1917 “”””penned a letter””””” to the most senior Jew in England, Lord Rothschild, pledging the Government’s “best endeavours” to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. Balfour also wrote: “We do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country.”””
I take it on a very good authority, Mr. Littlewood, that Balfour, penned nothing! He “may” have grudgingly been allowed to attach his own signature, in the end, at most.
The Balfour document went back and forth across the pond several times in draft form, before the Zionists on both sides of the Atlantic, who were its true and only authors, finally agreed to permit Balfour to take credit for it. Sometimes it would be only one word was in question, so meticulously cunning was the intent of the “declaration” letter.
With this quote I see you off base, as either temptor or line-blurrer.
Here: “””Balfour inserted into his ‘declaration’ that “nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing and non-Jewish communities….” on the insistence of the only Jew in the British Cabinet, Lord Montague,””””
But in true fact, the above quote was one of the most “litigated” in the transatlantic Zionist bickering.
Its whole premise in the ”nothing shall be done” phrase was to insure that even though “Israel” was to be made into a new “Homeland” for the Jews; they should lose none of their protected special status (citizenship) in any of the countless nations in which they were then being hosted. And why have that wording? With their new “Jewish” state, Jews worldwide would immediately become citizens of that new Jewish foreign country. And with that be barred from many high positions of political influence which they then, as they still do, wield unfathomably and exponentially disproportionate power.
Thanks to Zionist machinations in Balfour, all Jews instantly became dual citizen expat power and “intelligence” points.
Also, the “non Jewish communities” wording was meant to establish and maintain hegemony over the then majority Palestinians.
Always remember, ReTrumplicans fully support what the Ashkenazim are doing in Palestine. Much of Trump’s base are US Christian Zionists who throw millions of dollars each year at the vile Likudniks who are committing genocide against the Palestinians. They have a collective hard-on for Armageddon and Trump was their ticket to the Rapture so of course he “won” the election.
Biden is a Zionist lacky clealry from his responses over night.
So the Democrats are also Zionist puppets.
How about saying a word or two about the only people on earth who are doing something to fix the problem instead of a history lesson as to who caused it. Brits are the most racist vile people on earth right next to the Germans. As a matter of fact “Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, also a grandson of Queen Victoria, was the king’s cousin; the queen herself was German. As a result, on June 19, 1917, the king decreed that the royal surname was thereby changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.”
Here are the only people on earth who take the Brits to the task. Brits’s rape of Iran goes back to turn of the last century which is even older than their masterpiece called Israel.

Welcome back Stuart, your articles from Britain re Palestine are the best, thank you.
The British have caused so many problems in the world during their hay days. but establishment of Israel in Palestine was the worst. Now their past sins have come back to haunt them. England today is comprised of mainly Moslems and Indians. Their country has been ravished by Zionists just like US and their leaders are struggling trying to show the image of a pretend free country which in fact is not. The future for England is even darker, judging by the next in-line Prince Charles, who left a beautiful princess Diana for a horse-looking Camilla.. an air-head prince!
The British, the US, and those in the west have a lot of nerve to complain about Indians or Muslims or Arabs living in Britain and the USA while the British and the USA sucked the wealth out of the Arab Muslim and or African, Arab, Persian, Indian, Chinese lands amounting to outright thievery. When Britain began their Indian thievery they had GDP of around 5 percent or less while India had 40 percent of world GDP.
