Britain's recognition of a Palestinian state was quickly followed by a demand for money. Within days, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called on the United Kingdom to pay reparations for its administration of the region under the British Mandate between 1917 and 1948. Estimates of the claim reach as high as 2 trillion. Hamas called the recognition a victory.
No good deed goes unpunished.
There is nothing unprecedented in this demand for redress from the beleaguered Palestinian people who have suffered at the hands of Western-backed colonizers for eight decades.
