Going back by over 100 years to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, all the way to the illegal UK \u201chanding over\u201d of Palestine in 1947 to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arthur James Balfour<\/strong>\u00a0was a Conservative British politician, then Foreign Secretary, and formerly UK\u2019s Prime Minister (1902-1905).<\/p>\n<p>The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during WWI, announcing its support for the establishment of a \u201cnational home for the Jewish people\u201d in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population about 11%.<\/p>\n<p>The Brits claimed unrightfully \u2013 as well-illustrated by Dr. Wilde\u00a0\u2013 having the \u201cMandate\u201d for Palestine (1918-1948), because of the British occupation of territories previously ruled by the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Peace Treaties that brought the First World War to an end, also established the principle of self-determination that emerged after the war.\u00a0 Meaning that Palestine already in 1918 had the right of self-determination without any mandate of the UK or anybody else over its newly gained sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/cost-israel-gaza-war\/5844397\">See also this<\/a>\u00a0for history on Balfour Declaration.<\/p>\n<p>In November 1947, the UK handed their falsely claimed Mandate over Palestine to the United Nations. The freshly established UN (24 October 1945 in San Francisco), with only 53 members in 1947 passed a Partition Resolution by the UN General Assembly (UNGA), which has no power to ratify legally binding resolutions. Thus, the UNGA vote had no force of international law.<\/p>\n<p>This UNGA Resolution for the establishment of Israel was strongly opposed by the Arab States \u2013 but Zionist influence over other UN members was overwhelming. Still, the UN Resolution had no basis in international law.<\/p>\n<p><em>The UK-supported UN ruling prompted the 1947-1948 Nakba<\/em>\u00a0(\u201ccatastrophe\u201d in Arabic), referring to the mass displacement of Palestinians by Jews, claiming a portion (almost 80%) of Palestine to become Israel (21,670 km2 of total Palestine, 28,000 km2).<\/p>\n<p><em>Nakba\u00a0<\/em>became a massacre and the first ethnic cleansing by what was to become Israel, as displaced Palestinians were deprived of their right to return to their homeland.<\/p>\n<p>During the Nakba, Israel destroyed 531 Palestinian towns and killed some 15,000 Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Nakba, Palestine was a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, living in peace.<\/p>\n<p>On 14 May 1948, Israel declared her independence formally, pronounced by\u00a0<strong>David Ben-Gurion<\/strong>, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, and soon to be first Prime Minister of Israel (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Israeli_Declaration_of_Independence\">this<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Ever since, for the last 76 years, Palestinians were considered and discriminated as second or even third-class citizens by racist Israel, with countless indiscriminate killings. Since 2007, the Gaza strip is militarily occupied by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and has become the world\u2019s largest open-air prison with some 2.4 million Palestinians locked into a space of 365 square kilometers (km2).<\/p>\n<p>See this for the extraordinary defense\u00a0<em>plaidoyer<\/em>\u00a0by Dr. Ralph Wilde\u00a0on 26 February 2024 at the International Court of Justice, seated at\u00a0Peace\u00a0Palace in The\u00a0<em>Hague:<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div id=\"arve-youtube-frn4qyaorae65e4fe8442bd9634632828\" class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\"><span class=\"arve-inner\"> <span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> <iframe class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/fRn4qYAORAE?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-frn4qyaorae65e4fe8442bd9634632828\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/fRn4qYAORAE?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe> <\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Hamas attack of 7 October 2023 prompting the ongoing war, was planned at least 3 years before by the US, UK and Israel.\u00a0In the last four and a half months it has claimed some 35,000 Palestinian lives \u2013 of which 70% women and children.<\/p>\n<p>At present, about 1.4 million Palestinians are amassed in or around Rafah, border town to Egypt\u2019s Sinai Peninsula. They are starving, as Israel is preventing international food and water deliveries from entering Gaza. Up to 7 kilometers of trucks with life support for Gaza are reported to be blocked by Israel from entering Gaza through the Rafah gate.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the extreme suffering and massive dying of Palestinians, Egypt\u2019s\u00a0<strong>President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi<\/strong>\u00a0is adamant in\u00a0<em>officially<\/em>\u00a0declaring that no Palestinian refugees shall pass into Egypt. Juxtapose this to the following observations.<\/p>\n<p>Aerial photographs show that massive tent cities have been and are being built in the Sinai desert, leading to the conclusion that the expected Arab and supposedly Palestinian ally, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has made a secret agreement with Netanyahu to receive the remaining Palestinians of Gaza \u2013 up to 1.4 million \u2013\u00a0<em>under certain circumstances<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Expulsion of Palestinians into the Sinai desert would be the ultimate ethnic cleansing of the racist Zionist state of Israel. It would also mean another massacre the world has not seen in recent history.<\/p>\n<p>But what are these\u00a0<em>special circumstances<\/em>? Despite Egypt\u2019s huge debt\u00a0to the point where the IMF has recently blocked disbursements of a US$ 3 billion IMF loan, the very same\u00a0<em>IMF has just granted Egypt a US$ 10 billion loan to help alleviating the socioeconomic consequences of the war in Gaza.\u00a0<\/em>In common jargon this would be called blackmail, or simply buying a country.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/mwhitney\/egypt-sells-out-palestinians-for-10-billion-loan-package\/\">For full details see this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even so-called international organizations like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are not only infiltrated by Zionists, they are dominated by them.
