#IAmBalfour – Declaring 100 Years of Britain’s Support for Israel

One-hundred years after the Balfour Declaration I declare:

The Jewish people have a right to live in their ancient homeland and the modern State of Israel is the fulfilment of this historic right.

There is no excuse for acts of terrorism against Israel and it has the same right as every other nation to defend her citizens.

I stand with my brothers and sisters in Israel and commit to speak out on their behalf whenever and wherever necessary until the Jewish people are finally living in peace and security.

I declare my support for Britain’s signing of the Balfour Declaration 100 years ago and affirm the role Britain played in the rebirth of the modern state of Israel.

I call upon the UK Government to stand with Israel and the Jewish people and to honour the Balfour Declaration without apology.

If I was Arthur Balfour, I would have done the same. #IAmBalfour
