SO MUCH FOR THE MAJORITY ARAB POPULATION!!<br />So much for the World War One treaty promising Arab independence, the Mc Mahon-Hussein Treaty, which preceded the Sykes-Picot Treaty AND the Balfour Declaration. Shame. This is the crux of the problem and needs to be resolved honestly before there is meaningful progress.<br /><br />In 1944, "the National Executive of the Labour Party officially adopted the idea [ethnic cleansing] at its annual conference. <br />'Palestine' it affirmed, 'surely is a case, on HUMAN GROUNDS TO PROMOTE A STABLE SETTLEMENT, for a TRANSFER OF POPULATION.

For nearly two years he refused to bow to the diktat of either side. it was an ATTEMPT at impartiality to which the Zionists took furious exception."<br />Bevin was "soon to be vilified for his pains as the 'anti-Semite' which, judging from his past record, he certainly was not".<br /><br />The Gun and the Olive Branch, p121.<br /><br /><br />If only the Australian Labor Party would arrive in the twenty first century, they might almost be worth voting for, if only they could produce a Corbyn or even a Bevin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
