From a purely moral point of view, the British government, and the Labour Party in particular, should have been the first to recognise the State of Palestine given their historic role in the dispossessing three-quarters of a million Palestinians. They should not be dragged kicking and screaming to do so. After all, it was the Labour Party which officially adopted at its 1944 annual conference the policy; Let the Arabs be encouraged to move out, as the Jews move in.
In 1944, there were 11 million Jews in the world add 1 million Palestinians in Palestine. How did the people of the Western Christian countries expect that Palestine could hold 11 million of their Jews that they desperately wanted to get rid of! The people who used to believe that these white European people were the Hebrews no more have an excuse to believe this nonsense because today there is DNA which has confirmed that the European Jews are in fact 100% European.
