Wow, some actual discussion and real information in the YouTube comments, that's a first.
The Balfour Declaration and the Mandate did not promise the Jews a State
Unlike the vague language of the Balfour Declaration, the Mandate Charter clearly affirmed Palestinian self-determination as a core principle of international law — and promised independence at a time when Palestinian Christian and Muslim Arabs made up 90% of the population. This video explores how British duplicity, driven by imperial interests, planted the seeds of a conflict that still reverberates today.
Anyway some background, counterpoint to all those saying Palestinian's were never promised a state.
Gaza Is The Test: Does the US Really Believe in Human Rights?
Congressman (D) Ro. Khanna joined Mehdi to discuss his ‘loudest condemnation’ of the Netanyahu government’s actions in Gaza, the need for unconditional aid to get in immediately, and what kind of stand he thinks the next Democratic presidential nominee should be taking when it comes to Israel and Gaza.
Khanna tells Mehdi: “It’ll be for history to judge whether people like me did enough to stand up [for Palestine]”
Did the US ever believe in human rights? A country build on slavery, jails the most people in the world (1.8 million) and produced horror camps like Guantanamo Bay. And now on the global human rights watch list.
