Palestinians now suing Britain over Balfour Declaration in PA courts

Since the mandate that allowed for the reconstitution of the Jewish State originally came out of the UN predecessor, the League of Nations’ San Remo Resolution of 1920, and again ratified by the UN in 1948, the historical importance of Lord Balfour’s “declaration of sympathy” simply did not have the authority or jurisdiction the Palestinian plaintiffs contend.

Obama’s revisionist ‘Promised Land’ stuffed with falsehoods, omissions, inaccuracies

Former U.S. President Obama misleads readers in his new memoir with countless historical inaccuracies, selected omissions and deceptive descriptions that will forever shape a negative perspective of the only Jewish State, which can only perpetuate anti-Semitism further.

Dov Lipman’s

– Obama’s revisionist ‘Promised Land’ 

 

(November 26, 2020 / JNS) I have never criticized former U.S. President Barack Obama publicly—neither during my time in the Knesset nor anywhere else—despite my having disagreed with many of his policies. I am of the strong opinion that Israelis should not engage in or interfere with American politics, and I regularly offer a blanket thank you to all American presidents, including Obama, for their economic and military support for Israel.

Analysis: Is Erdogan waiting for Biden win before threatening Israel?

Turkey, currently in crises with Syria, Iraq, Greece, France, Libya, Armenia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and others desperately wants to engage against Israel, but without angering Trump & Co.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN

 

Turkey has been threatening many countries in recent months. But noticeably absent from the incitement campaign that Ankara tends to run against Greece, Armenia, France and others is Israel.

This is not because Turkey’s ruling party likes Israel; indeed, Turkey is one of the most hostile countries in the world to Israel. Turkey’s president has hosted Hamas terrorists twice this year, has compared Israel to the Nazis and has threatened to break off relations with the UAE after the Gulf state and Israel signed a normalization deal.
