A great Briton, poet, philosopher, theologian and opium addict, once said “If you do not understand a man’s ignorance, presume yourself ignorant of his understanding.” What does Britain not understand? Nations are not made by proclamations and recognitions. They are built and maintained by blood, sweat and tears of the people who comrpise them. Israel was not created by the Balfour Declaration, or any UN or League of Nations resolution, nor by any exchanges of ambassadors. It grew organically over many decades, with pioneers risking malaria to drain swamps, working to exhaustion to cultivate fields and orchids, capitalists investing money to build settlements, silent resistance to Turkish tyranny, followed by open conflict in alliance with the British, then silent resistance to British tyranny, followed by open revolt, which ultimately was successful, and then an all-out war with our neighbors.
The “Palestinians” have done nothing except commit cowardly acts of murder, mostly aimed at civilians and non-combatants, and sling cart loads and truck loads and tanker loads of BS. Let the British declare whatever they want. It’s irrelevant. The reality of a Palestinian state doesn’t exist, and can’t be declared or recognized into existence.
Tyranny......overemotive language.
Open revolt......no, it was terrorism.
Actually I like the rest of your post.
