Don't you get the point Dr? I've read your posts and still you don't understand that the abstention your describing happened nearly 20 years later under different political circumstances and a different British government. Are you trying to say Britain isn't responsible for the Balfour Declaration and doesn't hold the lion's share of responsibility for the origin of the mess we all inherited today in Gaza?

Oh for goodness sake. This globe we are all on called Mother Earth is the only one we have. We cannot leave this one for another. We should all look after our Mother not treat her with such contempt and stupid wars over religion or who own's what land etc. It is about time history was just that and stayed there. Move forward and let people of all nationalities and religions live in peace. We only ever have one life and should all be able to live it in PEACE. When our beautiful planet is so damaged and we cannot live on it anymore it is too late! It is about time we could all work together for one universal goal PEACE.
