He does this largely by mining previously neglected declassified documents from the British National Archives, covering the period between the Balfour Declaration (1917) and the Suez Crisis (1956).

Demonstrators staged a rally to the UK parliament in London to demand the British government apologize for the controversial Balfour Declaration that led to the creation of Israel. This was an opportunity for the people of Britain to demand that British complicity in the dispossession of the Palestinian people must end. Speakers included Dr Mustafa Barghouti, film director Ken Loach and Mick Whelan, General Secretary ASLEF. It was good to see Hastings PSC members taking part. Article here.

This Jonathan Cook article about the Priti Patel affair and the powerful Israel lobby in the UK. At one point, Patel was escorted by the Israeli army to the Golan Heights, occupied Syrian territory, where she was shown an Israeli military field hospital that patches up al-Qaeda-affiliated fighters, wounded in the war against Syria. "Afterwards, Patel pressed for the Israeli army, one of the most powerful in the world, to receive a chunk of Britain's overseas aid. Meanwhile, she has sought to cut aid to the Palestinians, including to vital projects in Gaza." Israel Lobby is Slowly Being Dragged Into the Light.
