England should be held resposible for all wrongs arising out of its Belfour Declaration promising a Jewish state in Palestine

Special Note: Instead of asking for compensation and restoration of Palestinian rights due to wrongs committed by the British, the late Arafat was only interested in training his militias and his occupation protection force. I thought I revisit this to remind Palestinians what a fraud Arafat was.

On his first visit to the Court of St. James, shortly after Oslo. Arafat was asked by the British what is his wish as the Palestinian leader. Well, you guessed it, Arafat asked the British to “train his security forces”. This is the only wish that he had on the first occasion he had as representative of the Palestinian people. Arafat knew that his support only comes from the militias that he sponsors and he forgot about the millions of Palestinians he represents, who had to flee their homes in 48, who are made exiled and refugees as a result of the British Mandate and its policy in Palestine. He forgot that what the British did to the Palestinians is no less of a crime than what the Germans did to the Jews. The British are responsible for the living millions who are made refugees for the last 55 years, in the same way that Germany was made responsible for the 6 million Jews it killed. Instead of asking for compensation and reparations for the millions who lost every thing, Arafat very excited about being in London forgot all about this and the only thing he could come up with on such a historic occasion was to “train his security forces”. When I see the support that Arafat has received from the Palestinian Diaspora, I know what kind of a leader Arafat is, but it makes me wonder what kind of people we are to accept such a stupid, incompetent and corrupt leader for so long. It is the Palestinians, not the Israelis, who should chase and throw Arafat out of Ramallah.
