Ghada Karmi, author 'In Search of Fatima' urges UK Citizens/Residents to sign an e-petition to call Britain to acknowledge publicly that British policy and actions in Palestine from 1917 to 1948 led to catastrophe for the Palestinian people.
Please sign and share the petition widely! http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/42768
The campaign was created and launched by Ghada Karmi leading Palestinian activist, academic and writer, Kamel Hawwash, British Palestinian academic, John Rose, campaign activist for the liberation of Palestine; Karl Sabbagh, Palestinian-British writer, journalist and television producer and Tim Llewellyn former BBC Middle East correspondent following a successful event on 2 Nov 2012, a commemoration of Balfour Declaration.
We need 10k signatures before the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of UK will respond and 100k signatures so this e petition about the impact of the Balfour agreement and the Right of Return for Palestinians could be debated in the House of Commons.
