Holocaust denial: PA TV program compares Nazi Germany’s crime against the Jews to Britain’s “crime” of issuing Balfour Declaration

Official PA TV program Palestine This Morning from Gaza, on the public campaign to sue Britain over the Balfour Declaration. The program hosted the campaign’s coordinator in Gaza, Muhammad Al- Makadmeh.
