The Palestinian tycoon who is suing Britain over 1917 Balfour declaration | Ahram Online english.ahram.org.eg/News/389526.as…
Munib al-Masri's law suit is insane, particularly so when you see his palace in Nablus. "We live in a big prison."

2/ Pictures of Nablus (Shchem). That's Masri's palace that overlooks the overcrowded Balata refugee camp with ~30,000. Balata's area is probably smaller than Masri's estate.
Masri's worried about the Balfour Declaration when he should be worried about "Après moi, le déluge."

3/ Masri & his Nablus palace.
The alleys of Balata refugee camp nearby.
Who lives in "a prison?"
Who should be suing whom, Munib?

4/ Munib Masri has a talented daughter Mai Masri who is a filmmaker and producer. She studies in Calif film schools and lives in Lebanon.
Mai's documentaries focus on struggles of the women and children living in the occupied Palestinian territories and Lebanon.
Noblesse oblige

5/ Mr Masri is "consumed" by the 1917 Balfour Declaration.
But Jews lived in the land yrs before, like 2 rabbis in pic from 1859.
Pics 2 & 3 from Ottoman archives. In 1914, Ottomans recruited Pal Arabs to fight.
Pic 4. Brits recruit Pal Jews 1918.
It's easy: You LOST; We WON.
