Palestinian campaign vs Balfour shows hostility to Jewish state undimmed after 100 years [View all]

It's about damned time the PA just came out and admitted this isn't and hasn't ever been about the '67 lines or settlements. Now everyone knows with 100% certainty that's complete bullshit.

Op-ed: Netanyahu always claims Palestinian opposition to Jewish sovereignty anywhere, not just to occupation and settlements, lies at the root of the conflict. The PA’s new battle against a century-old British declaration sadly proves his point


In declaring diplomatic and legal war on the Balfour Declaration, Palestinian leaders are telling the world — to their and our enduring misfortune — that nothing has changed in 100 years, that their opposition to our state in any borders remains greater than their desire for their own independent entity. A century later, they are affirming that their refusal to share any part of this land with the Jewish people remains absolute.
