is that the Balfour Declaration, like the Partition Plan, was a political fraud. Just one of several promises that the British government and later the world made during WWI and after that they had no intention of keeping. And of course, the British did not at all keep their word on this. But then, the suit isn't really about the Balfour Declaration so much as it is a political statement of hostility to the Jewish people.
