The Israeli regime has been created through early Zionist machinations that took advantage of the US and British weaknesses during World War I, a prominent activist tells Press TV.

The Israeli entity has its roots in the Balfour Declaration, a formal statement of policy by the British government on November 2, 1917 regarding the establishment of a “Jewish homeland” in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Alison Weir, the president of the Council for the National Interests, from Sacramento, to discuss the issue. Weir is joined by Sameh Habeeb of the Palestine Return Center, from London, and Mukhaimer Abu Sa’ada, a professor at the Gaza al-Azhar University, from Gaza. The following is a rough transcription of the interview with Weir.
Press TV: Do you think that since the creation of the Israeli regime, it has been guilty of committing war crimes? If you do believe that it has been, should the UK then be held responsible for supporting war criminals and enabling Tel Aviv to continue to ignore international law?
Weir: Certainly there’s no doubt that Israel has been guilty of war crimes from early on through to the present time. So that part has been well documented by numerous human rights organizations and legal entities have documented that part.
In terms of the British responsibility especially regarding the Balfour Declaration, there’s a very, very important back story to this that is probably one of the most covered up aspects of this very covered up issue.
The fact is that it came out in a book a few years ago and in a few articles by Professor William Rubenstein who is a very well regarded Jewish British historian. He’s a member of the Royal Historical Society. He was president of the Jewish Historical Society of England.
He wrote that the true author of the Balfour Declaration was not Mr. Balfour. It was actually a man name Leopold Amery who was in fact a Zionist and a British man of Jewish background.
As Rubenstein wrote in his book and in his article that was published in history today, he called this the most remarkable example of concealment in 20th century British history.
Amery not only wrote the Balfour Declaration, he later took credit for it. Most of this has not been mentioned by many people. As I say, it’s enormously covered up. But there’s a quote in which he says, “I seem to have had my finger in the pie not only of the Balfour Declaration but of the genesis of the present Israeli army.”
This is important information what’s going on behind the scenes now. Many of us know certainly here in the United States the power of the Israeli lobby is extremely significant and pervasive. This goes back for many decades. More>> Israeli regime fabricated via cover-up: Alison Weir
