Closed Apologize for Balfour Declaration and offer compensation to Palestinians

Closed on

The Balfour Declaration was unfairly made to give away a land the UK didn't possess, making an entire nation homeless in 1948. If Germany compensates Holocaust survivors and their descendants, then the UK must do the same for Nakba survivors & their descendants. Right of return must be assured, too.

It is Britain's responsibility to right its wrongs and Germany must be taken as a role model.
