Petition to David Cameron: Calling for any Apology/Action on Balfour Declaration

Balfour Declaration is a day that will be written for ever in the history of Palestine and its people. In November the 2nd each year we remember this black day. This year is 93rd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. We shall remember it with actions not only words.

We shall not forget the suffering and pain resulting as a consequence in this tragic event. Balfour Declaration is an event that caused the dispossession and killing of Palestinians till now. Successive British governments have neither apologized nor pressured for a genuine solution for the Palestinian cause.

We, the Palestinian Return Centre, Palestinian Community in the Uk and Palestinian Forum in Britain; started this petition initiative to push current British government to recognize its historical failure in Palestine.

It is also to urge the government to play a more active role in promoting justice and human rights. Additionally, we are calling for an apology and to defend the rights and properties of British Palestinians. Anyone over the age of sixteen and, is British of Palestinian origin is encouraged to complete the petition. In order to receive a written response from the Prime Minster we need at least 1000 signatures so please encourage your family and friends to sign the petition.

Letter to British Premier, David Cameron,

To the Right Honourable David Cameron MP
Dear Prime Minister,

We the undersigned British of Palestinian origin appeal to HM Government, in recognition of its historical role in the ongoing plight of Palestinians, to take historic steps in ending it.

November the 2nd will mark the 93rd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. This declaration is the main symbol of Britain's failed policy in Palestine.  The turbulent effects of this failure still remain with us and Palestinians more than any other have been the victims. For decades Palestinians have suffered from endless wars, experienced massacres and were forced to flee from their land.

Now, after 93 years, 7.1 million Palestinians, three quarters of the population, have been made refugees. Most are living on handouts from the international community, many facing intolerable pain and suffering on a daily basis. They see no end to their suffering as Israel continues, in an affront to international law and justice, to change facts on the ground by taking more land, building more settlements and imprisoning 1.7 million Palestinians in Gaza.
