Britain shamefully betrays the Jewish People again

By David Singer - posted Wednesday, 22 July 2020


The Peel Commission after a lengthy and detailed Inquiry concluded that:

...two sovereign independent States would be established - the one an Arab State, consisting of Trans-Jordan united with that part of Palestine which lies to the east and south of a frontier such as we suggest in Section 3 below; the other a Jewish State consisting of that part of Palestine which lies to the north and west of that frontier.

The Arabs rejected Partition. The Jews disputed the boundaries.

Trans-Jordan in 1937 then comprised the remaining 78% of the Mandate territory closed by Britain to Jewish settlement under Article 25.

Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria however was to be facilitated and encouraged under article 6.

The PLO's outright refusal to negotiate with Israel on President Trump's Peace Plan strengthens Netanyahu's decision to restore Jewish sovereignty in 30% of Judea and Samaria after 3000 years.

Johnson's hypocritical posturing should reinforce - not weaken – Netanyahu's resolve.
