There is no other people which has a historic connection with this land
and has never forgotten it, nor abandoned the hope of an eventual return.
It’s in the Bible, the Talmud, and medieval Jewish halachic and poetic literature.
It’s in Jewish prayers, holidays and ceremonies.
The Balfour declaration, and related documents of the time
make no mention of national type rights for the indigenous people.
One who claims they were a people at the time should explain how that was missed.
One who claims they have since become a people, should present claims to national rights,
from the date it happened, or explain why he justifies retroactive claims.
