Op-Ed: November 2, 1917: The Balfour Declaration-The general perception at the time was that the deliverance of the Jews was forthcoming, thanks to the declaration of the British government.-Published: Saturday, November 01, 2014 8:46 PM-Larry Domnitch-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
As nations issued statements of support for the Balfour Declaration, the British statement granting statehood to the Jews in the Land of Israel, issued on November 2, 1917, Jewish communities around the world paused and celebrated.The American Jewish Zionist Newspaper, the Maccabaean, termed the Balfour Declaration, ‘The Jewish Magna Carta,’ The American Jewish Chronicle, “A Turning Point in Jewish History,” The Canadian Jewish Chronicle, the “The End of the Galut.”The Religious Zionist movement, Mizrahi, issued a statement that “It seems that Holy Providence which guided Israel in its long night of exile is about to reward the Jewish people for all their suffering and tribulations.”In one celebration, a reported crowd of 100,000 danced outside the US Consulate in Odessa.
Christian Zionists around the world were elated as well.
On Sunday evening December 2, 1917, crowds gathered in the London Opera House, which was filled to capacity with over 2,700 in attendance. An over flow crowd met simultaneously in the Kingsway Theatre of London. The rally was entitled a “Great Thanksgiving Meeting,” by the London Jewish Chronicle and it featured members of the British Government and leaders of British Jewry.At the rally, speeches were delivered with the frequent theme portraying the British as liberators of the Jewish people from millennium of suffering. British Member of Parliament, Colonel Mark Sykes called the event a “Turning point in the history of the whole world.” MP Robert Cecil proclaimed, “The keynote of our meeting this afternoon is liberation.” MP Herbert Samuel, who would later become the first British High Commissioner over the Middle East, pronounced the words, “Next year in Jerusalem” and decried those who had doubted that British promise of Jewish statehood.Dr. Chaim Weitzmann, president of the English Zionist Federation, who had an integral role in the promulgation of the Declaration, called upon those present to rise and take an oath, which quoted a passage from Isaiah, “If I forget thee Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its power.”The general perception was that the deliverance of the Jews was forthcoming, thanks to the declaration of the British government. Among the speakers was the eminent Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook from the city of Jaffa who due to circumstances related to the war was in London at the time. Rabbi Kook’s message was quite different, “I have not come here to thank the British nation, but even more, to congratulate it for the privilege of making this declaration. The Jewish nation is the ‘scholar’ among the nations, the ‘people of the book,’ a nation of prophets; and it is a great honor for any nation to aid it. I bless the British nation for having extended such honorable aid to the people of the Torah, so that they may return to their land and renew their homeland.”
Rabbi Kook offered recognition to the British but not thanks.
Rabbi Kook offered recognition to the British but not thanks. If Britain offered the pledge, then it fulfilled a role for which it was destined.He believed the British need not be thanked for giving the Jews what has been rightfully theirs for over three thousand years, or for offering the Jews the land which was taken from them by Roman conquerors 1800 years earlier.Furthermore, the British issued the declaration, but they had not yet delivered on its promises of Jewish Statehood. Despite the euphoria, Britain would soon abandon its promises.By 1919, members of the Jewish Legion who fought valiantly with the British to expel the Turks from Palestine in 1918 were prohibited from entering Jerusalem on Passover. One year later, during Passover, an Arab pogrom broke out in Jerusalem. Five Jews were murdered and hundreds were wounded, eighteen of them critically. Synagogues were desecrated, shops were looted, and homes were ransacked.The British military authorities rejected the Jews’ demands to dismiss the Arab police who participated in the pogrom. The Jews as a whole condemned the response by the British, and accused them of complicity in the pogrom. Accusations were also subsequently leveled that the British incited the violence.Weeks later, as the British were granted a mandate over Palestine signifying a possible shift in policy, another event expressing gratitude was held. On the same page of the London Jewish Chronicle, on April 30, 1920, which contained eyewitness accounts of the horrors of the Passover pogrom, an advertisement appeared calling for a ‘Thanksgiving Meeting’ to be held on May 2, “In Gratification for the Granting of the Mandate to Great Britain and the Establishment in Palestine of the New Jewish Homeland.”With the new mandate granted, the British were again showered with words of appreciation, but the Palestine mandate continued and the promises of Jewish Statehood were not fulfilled.Over five years later, on November 11, 1925, crowds filled the ‘Hurva’ synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem to commemorate the armistice which concluded the First World War. As thunderous cannon fire ushered in a two minute moment of silence.Rabbi Kook addressed the audience, “We the Jewish people, have kept silent not only for two minutes but for two thousand years. The nations robbed our Land from us; they plundered our cherished soil; they spilled our blood; and we always kept silent. We suffered for two thousand years of indescribable afflictions, but we kept our peace. …""Our silence today is our protest, our outcry: Return the theft! Return our holy places, which you took by force!”

Only four days after the assassination attempt on activist Yehuda Glick, tensions in Jerusalem continue to snowball.Saturday saw continued attempts by Arab residents of eastern Jerusalem to attack security forces in the area. A number of vehicles were also vandalized.The night's incidents included an improvised pipe bomb being thrown at police and border forces near a mosque in the Shuafat neighborhood, which exploded. There were no injuries in the event, but Jerusalem police are calling the attack "severe.""The police will act by all means. Let them throw, but don't worry, we will unleash the full extent of the law on them," a police statement added.Also on Saturday, fireworks were shot at police forces on Hagai Street in the Old City. There were no casualties or damage in that incident, either.At the same time, vandals smashed the windows of four vehicles on Ein Rogel Street in the mixed Jewish-Arab neighborhood of Abu Tor in eastern Jerusalem. The police are investigating.Earlier a group of unknown assailants threw stones at the house on Naomi Street in eastern Jerusalem. There was light damage to the porch, but no casualties in the incident. The police have begun searching for suspects.In response to Saturday's incidents, Jerusalem http://www. israelnationalnews.com/News/-police issued a statement, saying:"All the forces operating in the city of Jerusalem - police, Border Patrol officers, SWAT team fighters and special units - will continue their activities, determined and uncompromising against violators of law and order. The combination of civil and police enforcement should increase security and return peace and quiet to residents."
Netanyahu: 'We Will Return Law and Order to the Capital'-PM Netanyahu began his Cabinet meeting with a discussion of the situation in J'lem, and the bill for stricter punishment for rock-throwers.By Hezki Ezra, Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 11/2/2014, 12:11 PM-ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS
The government has approved the amendment to the penal code to increase the punishment for throwing stones at motor transportation vehicles. The amendment is expected to soon reach the Knesset table for discussion.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu convened a discussion last Monday on the security situation in Jerusalem, calling on legislators to speed up a law stiffening punishment for rock throwers.Representatives of the State Attorney's Office responded that they had given instructions to get tougher in arresting and punishing rock throwers, and have drawn up criteria for placing financial sanctions on the parents of rock throwers in certain cases.
The amendment would allow the imposition of the following penalties:
Throwing rocks or other objects at a moving vehicle would be punishable by up to 10 years in jail. Throwing rocks at a moving vehicle with intent to injure could be punished by up to 20 years. In addition, throwing rocks at security officers could involve a 5-year sentence.The Prime Minister opened the weekly Cabinet meeting, Sunday, with the proposed amendment. Discussions followed on the subject of the riots in Jerusalem, which presumably contributed to the approval of the new legislation to pass to the Knesset for final approval.Israel is taking vigorous action against terrorists and those who throw stones, fire bombs and fireworks. We will also pass stronger legislation on the issue," Netanyahu stressed."All of this is in order to restore quiet and security throughout Jerusalem. I have ordered that massive reinforcements be brought in and that additional means be used in order to ensure law and order in Israel's capital."

Deputy Hamas politiburo head Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk has threatened Israel over its decision to close Gaza's border crossings Sunday, stating to Hamas news agency Al Risala that the move will not be quietly overlooked."This is a childish and irresponsible act," Marzouk fired. "This is collective punishment on the Gaza Strip which violates all international laws, including the terms of the ceasefire agreement."
"This will not be quietly overlooked," he continued.
Israel announced on Saturday night that the Kerem Shalom and Erez crossings into Gaza will be closed on Sunday, following Friday night’s rocket attack on the Eshkol region.The crossings will only be opened for passage of goods and people in humanitarian cases, according to the announcement.The Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza informed the Palestinian Authority of Israel’s decision. This is the first time that Israel has closed the crossings to Gaza since Operation Protective Edge last summer.Friday’s incident marked the second time since the end of Operation Protective Edge that Gaza terrorists have attempted rocket fire towards Israel.Last month, a mortar attack was launched by Gazan terrorists against southern Israel, in breach of a ceasefire signed in August. Hamas, which breached numerous ceasefires during the operation, denied responsibility for the attack and later announced it had arrested the perpetrator
Proposed Law to Designate Israel as Jewish State-After 65 years, the Knesset will consider a law to officially designation Israel as a Jewish State. Three parties teamed up on the bill.By Chana Ya'ar-First Publish: 6/26/2013, 9:54 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
After 65 years, the Knesset is finally considering a law to officially designate Israel as a Jewish State. Three different political parties are involved in submitting the bill.The new “ Israel, the Jewish National State” bill, as it is being called, is the product of a cooperative effort by MK Ayelet Shaked of HaBayit HaYehudi (Jewish Home), Yariv Levin and Robert Ilatov of Likud Beytenu, and Ruth Calderon from Yesh Atid.“Our Declaration of Independence defines the State of Israel as a democratic national home for the Jewish nation, the fulfillment of the words of the Prophets,” explained the lawmakers.“It also mentions the Balfour Declaration from 1917 along these guidelines, and the proposal aims to provide a Constitutional announcement verifying these principles.”However, no reference is made to Judaism as a religion, Calderon underlined, but rather to the Jewish People.“The Declaration of Independence explicitly states that Israel is envisaged as a Jewish State that is also committed to equal rights.Nevertheless, Israeli Arab MK Mohammad Barakeh (Hadash) condemned the bill, saying that laws are not needed to protect the nation’s majority, but rather the needs of the minority “when racism rages. The Knesset has become a racist legislation machine,” he said.Numerous other Israeli Arab citizens also expressed disappointment at the submission of the bill as well, saying they feel disenfranchised by the sentiment.One Bedouin Arab told Arutz Sheva in the northern Negev on Wednesday morning, “I’m just starting to wonder what role we are expected to play in a Jewish nation.”

Proposed Law to Designate Israel as Jewish State-After 65 years, the Knesset will consider a law to officially designation Israel as a Jewish State. Three parties teamed up on the bill.By Chana Ya'ar-First Publish: 6/26/2013, 9:54 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
After 65 years, the Knesset is finally considering a law to officially designate Israel as a Jewish State. Three different political parties are involved in submitting the bill.The new “ Israel, the Jewish National State” bill, as it is being called, is the product of a cooperative effort by MK Ayelet Shaked of HaBayit HaYehudi (Jewish Home), Yariv Levin and Robert Ilatov of Likud Beytenu, and Ruth Calderon from Yesh Atid.“Our Declaration of Independence defines the State of Israel as a democratic national home for the Jewish nation, the fulfillment of the words of the Prophets,” explained the lawmakers.“It also mentions the Balfour Declaration from 1917 along these guidelines, and the proposal aims to provide a Constitutional announcement verifying these principles.”However, no reference is made to Judaism as a religion, Calderon underlined, but rather to the Jewish People.“The Declaration of Independence explicitly states that Israel is envisaged as a Jewish State that is also committed to equal rights.Nevertheless, Israeli Arab MK Mohammad Barakeh (Hadash) condemned the bill, saying that laws are not needed to protect the nation’s majority, but rather the needs of the minority “when racism rages. The Knesset has become a racist legislation machine,” he said.Numerous other Israeli Arab citizens also expressed disappointment at the submission of the bill as well, saying they feel disenfranchised by the sentiment.One Bedouin Arab told Arutz Sheva in the northern Negev on Wednesday morning, “I’m just starting to wonder what role we are expected to play in a Jewish nation.”
