Unknown to a lot of
watchers ,the world exclusive reportage by The News Office Desk of Paedia
Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria
in November ,2014 in which it had blamed Britain for the unfortunate
role it played on Palestine in the past thus setting the latter against its
perennial rivals :israel later was to set the stage as the determinant factor over
who occupied 10 Downing Street in London as of 2017.
It would be recalled that
one of the highlights of the discourse leading to the debate on the elections
in the United Kingdom as of June,2017 was that of the effect of Balfour Declaration
on Palestine.
A source who had
travelled to the U.K. just before the polls in May,2017 had told this reporter
recently that the fight over what position was the nation supposed to take on
the issue of Palestine tore the polity apart as while the Tories favored
supporting the Israelites ,The Labour Party were stoutly behind the
Palestinians having an Independent state with a capital in Jerusalem.
As the story goes,the
ruling elites and power brokers of the United Kingdom threw their weights
behind Theresa May as Prime Minister despite her unpopularity because they were
more comfortable with the position of the Tories on the issue of Palestine..

PALESTINE/ISRAELI WAR:
BRITAIN ACCUSED OF PRETENSE
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
Britain has been accused of
been the architect of the crisis between
the Jews, Muslims and Christians alike over landed territories been fought
for by Palestine and Israel.
The battle which has been going
for a long time than every member of the present generation can actually recall
has seen several thousands killed on either side of the divide on an annual
basis.
So bad is the deep seated
hatred among this two nations that even inter-tribal marriage and other forms
of cultural assimilation are not
encouraged in any form amongst them.
An impeccable source who is a
global foreign relations expert but who does not want his names in the print
told Paedia Express Multimedia exclusively in Lagos, Nigeria that he was
shocked that Britain has been able to deceive the rest of the world about there
culpability in the crisis so much that
nobody is holding them accountable for what was happening in Jerusalem.
He told this Reporter that in
fact it was Britain that in 1906 that used its political muscles to mastermind
the statehood of Israel through the Balfour declaration.
According to him ,were it not
for a last minute change in plans due to the spiritual importance of Jerusalem
to the three monotheistic faith, Uganda would have been the state of Israel
Today.
He Added That Britain’s
role in the entire saga lately has been
hypocritical as they behave as if they did not realize that they started the
crisis in the first place.
According to a
source on google, The Balfour
Declaration (dated 2 November 1917) was a letter from the United
Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur James
Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), a
leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.
His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.[1][2]
The text of the letter was published in the press one week later, on 9 November 1917.[3] The "Balfour Declaration" was later incorporated into the Sèvres peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire and the Mandate for Palestine. The original document is kept at the British Library.

In 1896, Theodor Herzl, a Jewish journalist living
in Austria-Hungary,
published Der Judenstaat
("The Jews' State" or "The State of the Jews"), in which he
asserted that the only solution to the "Jewish Question" in Europe, including
growing antisemitism, was through the establishment of a state for the Jews.
Political Zionism had just been born.[5] A year later, Herzl founded the Zionist
Organization (ZO), which at its first
congress, "called for the establishment of a home for the
Jewish people in Palestine secured
under public law". Serviceable means to attain that goal included the
promotion of Jewish settlement there, the organisation of Jews in the diaspora, the strengthening of Jewish
feeling and consciousness, and preparatory steps to attain those necessary
governmental grants.[6] Herzl passed away in 1904
without the political standing that was required to carry out his agenda of a
Jewish home in Palestine.[7]
During the first meeting
between Chaim Weizmann
and Balfour in 1906, Balfour asked what Weizmann's objections were to the idea
of a Jewish homeland in Uganda, (the Uganda
Protectorate in East Africa in the British
Uganda Programme), rather than in Palestine. According to Weizmann's
memoir, the conversation went as follows:
"Mr.
Balfour, supposing I was to offer you Paris instead of London, would you take it?"
He sat up, looked at me, and answered: "But Dr. Weizmann, we have
London." "That is true," I said, "but we had Jerusalem when
London was a marsh." He ... said two things which I remember vividly. The
first was: "Are there many Jews who think like you?" I answered:
"I believe I speak the mind of millions of Jews whom you will never see
and who cannot speak for themselves." ... To this he said: "If that
is so you will one day be a force."[8]
Two months after Britain's
declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, Zionist British cabinet member Herbert Samuel circulated a memorandum
entitled The
Future of Palestine to his cabinet colleagues. The memorandum
stated that "I am assured that the solution of the problem of Palestine
which would be much the most welcome to the leaders and supporters of the
Zionist movement throughout the world would be the annexation of the country to
the British Empire".
