What would you have done?

So, from 1917 on (the Balfour Declaration), what should the Palestinians have done in order to defend their country from the power of the British Empire and from eventual erasure?What would we have done in such a case? Indeed, what should we do now, if, as some believe, we face a similar threat?

Sorry, I forgot to give Ms Bond credit for her part in the campaign to decry Israel and support Palestine in the Middle East conflict.

Ms Carter"What would you have done?"'Not start yet another Palestine v Israel thread!  There’s already one on the peace deal. This one will just be the the same people endlessly repeating the same points, sometimes at unnecessary length'.Is that not rather dismissive of the efforts of Messrs Ainsworth and Carter and Ms Holliday to keep the evil actions of the Israelis and the oppression by them of the peace loving downtrodden Palestinians front and foremost on this Forum ?"First they came for ...".

Well, Philippa, if you have read it you answer David.  We are all waiting, no answer was the stern reply.

So have either of you two ever actually read the Balfour Declaration?  It has been on this website a couple of times and despite its name doesn't take long to read.  Ever thought about the consequences for the population who were already living in the area?  Are you both actually claiming to be totally without empathy for them - because it would certainly seem so?

Totally agree Barbara.  However I would hope depression is not a factor but instead just a tendency to start a thread, however tenuous, just to gain some attention.🙄

Think you need to seek Medical help David, what a way to start the day. You have such a depressing nature and thoughts. Try for once to brighten somebodies day.
