row 4 col1 of two British Governments , the Palestinians and the Jews:

Anti-semitic Britain
1905 Alien act : The antisemitic British Government under Balfour limited the number of Jews coming to Britain. Jews were fleeing persecution from Eastern Europe.  For the next forty years British  policymakers ,using the Alien Act , limited  the number of Jews emigrating to Britain but instead promoted Palestine as the place to which to flee. Before and during the Holocaust British policy makers limited Jewish access to a safe haven in Britain and in Palestine.

1915-1917 : Imperialist Duplicitous Britain
Britain promised all Arabs an independent Arab state in 1915 ahead of the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WW1. It then betrayed that promise by  1) in 1916  agreeing colonisation plans with France for  the whole Arab area. 2)   1917 Britain’s Balfour  declares Palestine the homeland of the Jews
 

This is the origin of a long lasting conflict  in Palestine and was entirely predictable. It set two peoples  in conflict with one another over the same land and one homeland. Britain betrayed both the Jews fleeing persecution and death who were seeking a safe haven and the indigenous Palestinians on their own land and in their own country.

 

==================================================

From 1918 till 1948 Britain occupied Palestine and continuously refused the demands for the indigenous Pallestinians for freedom, independence, democracy and self determination and set the scene for the partition of Palestine and for the expulsions of Palestinians from the nascent Jewish state.

1948 Britain abjegates responsibility for the people in Palestine. In Feb 1947 British Policymakers wanted out of Palestine and  handed the issue over  to be resolved by the UN  saying it would leave Palestine in 1948.

In Nov 1947 The UN adopted Resolution 181 on the partition of Palestine.  The Jewish state would be 55% of the area. It would  include 400 Palestinian villages. Within the Jewish state Palestinians would be 40% of the population. The Zionist leadership accepted the proposal but Ben-Gurion its leader  said on Dec 3rd 1947   'only a state of 80% Jews is a viable and stable state' .  Soon afterwards the adoption of Resolution 181 in Jan 1948   'Mass expulsion by the Jews of the indigenous Palestinian Arabs' began ( Ilan Pappe).  

Between Dec 1947- May 15th 1948 Britains policymakers opted out of any responsibility for any civilians. British forces with 75,000 personnel were  stood aside and did protect the civilian populations over which it still ruled. Britain failed to  prevent Zionist forces expelling Palestinian populations.  Before Britain had left Zionist forces had driven out  250,000 Palestinians and emptied  of their Palestinian populations 200 villages and the cities/ towns  of Haifa, Jaffa and Western Jerusalem.

 

British policymakers directly and indirectly have continuously even to the present day denied the Palestinains

their basic political rights such as self determination , freedom and democracy which the British empire under Balfour took from them and

basic civil rights such as rights to private property and when it is stolen to have it back, the right to live securely in ones own home and to farm and live off ones own farm, which Britain in the Balfour declaration promised to protect

 

Britains policymakers told the UN it would not be reponsible for implementing the partition plan.

Nakba -Britain allows the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

British Governments , the Palestinians and the Jews:

Anti-semitic Britain
1905 Alien act : The antisemitic British Government under Balfour limited the number of Jews coming to Britain. Jews were fleeing persecution from Eastern Europe.  For the next forty years British  policymakers ,using the Alien Act , limited  the number of Jews  coming to Britain even during the Holocaust .

1915-1917 : Perfidious Albion
Britain promised all Arabs an independent Arab state in 1915 ahead of the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WW1.
It then betrayed that promise by  1) in 1916  agreeing colonisation plans with France for  the whole Arab area. 2)   in 1917 promising the  Palestinian homeland to European Jews  as their homeland .

1917 Britain’s Balfour  declares Palestine the homeland of the Jews
 

This is the origin of a long lasting conflict  in Palestine and was entirely predictable. It set two peoples in conflict with one another over the same land and one homeland. Britain betrayed both the Jews fleeing persecution who were seeking a safe haven and the Palestinians in their own country whose antecedents had lived there on the land for centuries past.

================================================

British policymakers have continuously to the present day denied the Palestinains their basic political rights (which Briain under Balfour took from them) and civil rights (which Britain under Balfour promised to protect) :

From 1918 Britain occupied Palestine.


In 1919 the First Palestinian National Congress in Jerusalem demanded freedom, independence and self determination , a demand the Palestinians  continuously made to British policy makers all through the British occupation of their country.

In 1936-1938 British forces crushed a Palestinian  revolt  with 'brutal and ruthless attacks on the Palestinian countryside' (Ilan Pappe). During this period Zionist forces trained with the British Army and learned to use their methods  for attacking and 'punishing' entire villages . 

In 1937 Britain's Peel Commission recommended partition of Palestine with 33% of the country to be a Jewish state. Part of the Palestinian population would be transferred (forcibly removed) from this state. Though never adopted this set the scene for the terrible events later on

In Feb 1947 British Policymakers wanted out of Palestine and  handed the issue over  to be resolved by the UN  saying it would leave Palestine in 1948.

In Nov 1947 The UN adopted Resolution 181 on the partition of Palestine.  The Jewish state would be 55% of the area. It would  include 400 Palestinian villages. Within the Jewish state Palestinians would be 40% of the population. The Zionist leadership accepted the proposal but Ben-Gurion its leader  said on Dec 3rd 1947   'only a state of 80% Jews is a viable and stable state' . 
 

Soon afterwards in Jan 1948   'Mass expulsion by the Jews of the indigenous Palestinian Arabs' began ( Ilan Pappe).  

Between Dec 1947- May 15th 1948  Britains policymakers told the UN it would not be reponsible for implementing the partition plan.Thus British forces with 75,000 personnel were  stood aside and did not even look to protect civilians over which it still ruled.

Britain failed to  prevent Zionist forces expelling Palestinian populations.  Before Britain had left Zionist forces had driven out  250,000 Palestinians and emptied  of their Palestinian populations 200 villages and the towns  of Haifa, Jaffa and Western Jerusalem.
