01 November 2006 The outgoing Israeli ambassador to the United States, Dani Ayalon, said that that the letter of the US President George W. Bush, dated on April 14, 2004, to the then-Prime minister Ariel Sharon is more important than the Balfour declaration since its voids the Palestinian Right of Return and recognizing West Bank settlement blocs.
The statements of Ayalon came during an interview with Israeli reporters on Tuesday. Ayalon stated that the letters is "historic of the highest importance", and compared it to Balfour declaration on 1917. The Balfour Declaration was a letter of November 2, 1917 from British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, granting the Jewish people a national home in Palestine. "His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.", the letter reads. In 2004, US president George Bush sent a letter of assurances to Sharon and told him that he recognizes the settlements in the occupied West Bank as part of the State of Israel and that the Palestinian refugees will not return into Israel. Ayalon stated that this letter "defined the outline of Israel". He rejected the possibility that any pressure will be placed on Israel, under the Bush administration, in order to accept what he described as a "forced agreement". Comment: Indeed, there is a long and unbroken line of strange capitulation to Zionist leaders by American and British governments that stretches from the Balfour declaration to the current Bush and Blair administrations. What power did the Zionists wield over the world's largest and most influential nation states to force them to give the Zionists a land belonging to another people and create the current long-standing "Middle East crisis" in which Palestinians, and Jews too, seem destined to be consumed?
