Hours after Abbas comments, PLO affirms "right of return", and Balfour Declaration illegal

Elder of Ziyon..
02 November '12..

The official Palestinian Authority WAFA news agency did not comment on Mahmoud Abbas' interview on Israeli TV where wishful thinking Westerners believed that Abbas showed flexibility on the long-standing PLO (and Arab) demand to force Israel to accept millions of so-called "refugees."

But the agency does have two prominently featured articles quoting PLO Executive Committee member Zakaria al-Agha, head of the department of refugee affairs, on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

Al-Agha says that the Balfour Declaration, which called for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, was a "historic sin committed against our people." He called on Britain to amend that policy by supporting the "legitimate rights of return and self-determination" for Palestinian Arabs.
