Palestinians to sue Britain over 1917 pledge on Jewish state

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/palestinians-to-sue-britain-over-1917-pledge-on-jewish-state/2016/07/26/99f6efc4-5311-11e6-b652-315ae5d4d4dd_story.html

The Palestinian president says he will sue Great Britain over the 1917 Balfour Declaration and its support for a Jewish national home in the Holy Land.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki made the announcement on behalf of Mahmoud Abbas at Monday’s opening of the Arab League summit in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott.

Malki said the suit would be filed in an international court. He didn’t elaborate.




That whole Trump "I'll sue you" thing is a cancer; its spreading.

Oh wait. Maybe if the Palestinians actually wanted peace with the Jews, then they would do stupid things like this.
