That's not really true though. The Balfour declaration essentially came from the league of nations, the only reason it was issued by Britain is that Britain were administering the mandate of Palestine.CameronPoe wrote:
This was answered by others but another important reason would be the fact that the UK facilitated the Zionists in creating their state in Palestine. Look up the Balfour Declaration. It was quite funny when I was asked by a Palestinian in Abu Dis when I was there whether I was 'from the good part of Ireland or the bad part'...usmarine2005 wrote:
One question I have for you Cam. I saw a group of protesters in Gaza holding up a sign that said "down with the UK," and some of them burning a horrible rendition of the British flag. Why is that? I really do not know TBH. I would expect an American flag of course, but where does the UK stuff come from?
As the Jewish immigrants did not follow their obligations in accordance with the declaration, further papers were issued which put resticitions on Jewish immigration, blocked many sales of land to Jews, and made very clear that a Jewish state should not be formed in Palestine.
Sounds pretty clear cut to me. The British backed the Palestinians, not the Jewish immigrants.His Majesty's Government therefore now declare unequivocally that it is not part of their policy that Palestine should become a Jewish State. They would indeed regard it as contrary to their obligations to the Arabs under the Mandate, as well as to the assurances which have been given to the Arab people in the past, that the Arab population of Palestine should be made the subjects of a Jewish State against their will.

I think the biggest Jewish college outside of Israel is located in Newcastle, big city near where I live. But its odd that the Jews have always been disliked in some way or another, reminds me of that Family Guy clip.
The Jews have been persecuted throughout history but in modern times I think the Zionist movement have really exploited this to make it seem like opposing Zionism is the same as being anti-semitic. I have nothing against Jews, in the same way that I have nothing against anyone of any race (race is an accident of birth, no one is responsible for their race and should never be judged on those grounds) but I do strongly disagree with many aspects of Zionism.M.O.A.B wrote:
