Abstract: - Excerpt: So now they ask us to do the following: Call things as they are: recognize Israel as an apartheid state in terms of international law and the UN ESCWA report which said: "Israel is guilty of imposing an apartheid regime on the Palestinian people". They are concerned that States and churches continue dealing with Israel as if the situation were normal, ignoring the reality of occupation, discrimination and daily deaths. Churches united to end apartheid in South Africa, the WCC playing a pivotal role, and they are expected to do the same again in Palestine Unequivocally condemn the Balfour declaration as unjust, and demand the UK asks forgiveness and compensates the Palestinian people for their losses. Unfortunately Zionist stooges in high places, like Theresa May, have said they will be celebrating the centenary of the Balfour Declaration "with pride" and inviting Mr Netanyahu along for the fun.
