The Declaration was made public on Nov. 2, 1917, when Balfour sent a copy to <a href=\"https:\/\/family.rothschildarchive.org\/people\/102-lionel-walter-walter-rothschild-1868-1937\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lionel Walter Rothschild<\/a>, also known as Lord Rothschild, who was a prominent British politician, banker, and leader of the British Jewish community. In part the declaration read: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;His Majesty\u2019s 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.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It should be noted the belligerents in WWI were the Allied Powers; France, UK, United States, Russia, Japan, and Italy, versus the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks occupied what is now Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, some of Arabia, and much of the North African coast, not to mention Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Romania.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At the end of WWI the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The Jewish people already lived in Palestine, but during this period Jews were also leaving Europe to settle in Palestine. In 1922 the League of Nations, the first intergovernmental organization and forerunner to the United Nations, gave Britain a mandate to govern Palestine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Balfour Declaration promised the territory would be open to Jewish settlement, paving the way for Israel\u2019s founding in 1948. The Jews widely celebrate the creation of the state of Israel, while many Palestinians call it the &#8220;Nakba&#8221; (Catastrophe).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As for Israel being the Jewish homeland, just consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Temple-of-Jerusalem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solomon\u2019s Temple<\/a>, built in Jerusalem by Solomon, the ruler of the United Kingdom of Israel sometime between 10th-8th century BC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The day before Palestine Action destroyed the Lord Balfour painting by Philip Alexius de L\u00e1szl\u00f3, the UK\u2019s Commissioner for Countering Extremism <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/politics\/1875036\/london-antisemitism-extremism-palestine-jews-israel-hamas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robin Simcox commented<\/a> that London is turning into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/uk\/1870218\/antisemitism-palestine-protests-london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no-go-zone<\/a> for Jews as a result of mass pro-Palestinian protests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1869 <a href=\"https:\/\/artvee.com\/artist\/philip-alexius-de-laszlo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philip Alexius de L\u00e1szl\u00f3<\/a> was born in Budapest, Hungary, and studied art at an early age in the National Academy of Art.

They wanted to smash Elbit&#8217;s equipment but instead fought security guards and police officers who arrived after the break-in. One vandal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/37428413\/palestine-activist-attacks-cop-sledgehammer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swung his sledgehammer at Police Sargent Kate Evans<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WPhwofeOCQw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fracturing her lumbar spine<\/a>. All six Palestine Action criminals were arrested and are in custody. The raid caused $1.28 million in damage. The attack took place BEFORE the UK parliament on July 2, 2025, placed Palestine Action on the UK government list of terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n<p>On Nov 17, 2025 trial began for the six members of Palestine Action responsible for the violence at the Elbit Sytems plant. They face charges of aggravated burglary, criminal damage, and violent disorder. Samuel Corner (23), the man that used a sledgehammer to shatter the spine of Sargent Evans, has extra charges; grievous bodily harm with intent and two counts of battery causing bodily harm.<\/p>\n<p>An April 2026 a trial is set for Palestine Action members or supporters arrested in the aftermath of the Elbit Systems raid. At first that group numbered 18, the arrestees now number 24.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE: <\/strong>On July 2, 2025, the UK parliament voted 385 to 26 to define and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c93901n9z0qo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ban Palestine Action as a &#8220;terrorist organization.&#8221;<\/a> The official banning places Palestine Action on a list of proscribed terrorist groups like Hamas, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Hezbollah. The ban makes members and supporters guilty of a criminal offense punishable by 14 years in prison. Supporters who wear Palestine Action T-shirts or political buttons can be given six-month sentences.<\/p>\n<p>The banning of Palestine Action finally came about after members of the group broke into the Brize Norton Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, England to damage military aircraft. They attacked two massive Airbus Voyager aircraft using fire extinguishers filled with red paint, shooting the paint into the turbine engines of the huge transport planes. Authorities say the criminal damage to the planes was over $8.8 million. Four Palestine Action members were arrested for damaging the planes.<\/p>\n<p>Airbus Voyager aircraft can refuel jets planes in flight, or can be used to deploy massive amounts of equipment and up to 380 troops.
