A Century of Missed Opportunities
(Israel Hayom) Ron Prosor - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, you have demanded the British government apologize for issuing the Balfour Declaration and that it be repealed. Your demands only prove that you are oblivious to historical truths and that you think historical facts are pliable and can be manipulated at will. If this is how you treat binding historical documents, how can anyone expect that you live up to a signed agreement? In calling for the repeal of the Balfour Declaration, you are seeking to negate the Jewish people's national home while fostering among your public the illusion that if they only wait long enough, the State of Israel will cease to exist. The writer is a former Israeli ambassador to the UN.
