"UNGA resolutions 181 from 1947 and 194 from 1949 constituted conditions for Israel's acceptance as a member of the UN. But to this day, Israel has not implemented or even accepted, these two resolutions. Israel must be help accountable. Either it accepts these two resolutions, or it should not be a member in the UN. In addition, we stress that Britain and the U.S. must apologize and pay reparations to the Palestinian people for the Balfour Declaration, in which they collaborated, as well as for the [British] mandate. "
"Israel should also apologize and pay reparations for what it did during the Nakba.
