Balfour's Promissory Note

| Everyone's talking about the Valfour Declaration and the hype is knee-deep. | |
| But when it comes to high pop, get your shovels ready. | |
| Lord Rothschild, Prime Minister Netanyahu, Chief Rabbi, Distinguished Guests, Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen. | |
| Sounds like a thousand-dollar-a-plate dinner to watch a sovereign shiksa grovel before the Jews, one of Jewry's favorite pastimes. | |
| I am so pleased to be here with you tonight, and to be with you, Lord Balfour, on this special evening, as we mark the centenary of the letter written by your great-uncle, which I believe to be one of the most significant letters in history. | |
| Au contraire! | |
| Au contraire! One hundred years ago, a promise was made by British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour. | |
| With the stroke of his pen, he committed to signing over the land of Palestine to the Zionist Federation so they could create a Jewish state of their own. | |
| In the Balfour Declaration, the British government stated, it clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine. | |
| But that assurance never materialized. | |
| And a century of pain and suffering followed, something Balfour's ancestors say he could never have predicted. | |
| I'm sure Arthur would say this is unacceptable, you know, that there's got to be more help for the Palestinians. | |
| But Arthur Balfour had no love for the non-Jewish communities in Palestine as he negatively tagged the Arab residents 700,000 who made up 90% of Palestine's population. | |
| Balfour's letter was more about his loathing of Jews, a feature not improbable for a Christian Zionist Brit who thought the return of the Jews to Israel, which had already ensued after the Babylonian exile, was imminent. | |
| At the same time, by presiding over the passage of the 1905 Aliens Act, Balfour hoped to prevent waves of East European Jews from flooding Britain's shores. | |
| So he sat right down and wrote himself a letter so he could send them off to Palestine instead. | |
| And it was not a declaration on par with America's Declaration of Independence as the Jews spin it to bamboozle the Gentiles. | |
| Plus, the letter had no legal force. | |
| Since Britain didn't rule the region in 1917, the Ottomans did. | |
| They were at war with Britain, who was inciting Arab uprisings against Istanbul with a promise of independence for the Arab tribes, especially in Palestine. | |
| Naturally, the Ottomans opposed the idea. | |
| And give me a break, homeland. | |
| The Jews planned a state from the beginning, with all the perks of a state. | |
| Just pick up a copy of Herzl's Der Judenstadt. | |
| What kind of homeland for the Jews is it anyways? | |
| Jews are living everywhere else. | |
| The Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine, not Europeanized Jews whose occupying government has no right to the land. | |
| There is today a new and pernicious form of anti-Semitism which uses criticism of the actions of the Israeli government as a despicable justification for questioning the very right of Israel to exist. | |
| This is abhorrent and we will not stand for it. | |
| Hey gal, will eating hamburgers be the next form of anti-Semitism? | |
| Look, states rise and fall. | |
| Governments come and go. | |
| The U.S. is getting real close itself, hard on the tail of Britain's own decline. | |
| No state, no government, has a right to exist, especially when hell-bent on genocide, theft, and ethnic cleansing like Israel. | |
| Enough with the anti-Semitism swindle. | |
| How much manipulation can the world stand? | |
| The ball's in Jewish court. | |
| Or else a backlash. | |
| One of the broadest. | |
