A unique event-the handing over of a country by a country who did not own it, to a third which had only mythical claims to it-happened in 1918 when the British 'gave' Palestine to the Jews via the Balfour Declaration. The Palestinian Arabs never accepted the theft of their land but have been powerless against the weight of support for the Jews given by the most powerful nations. Since 1918, despite the foundation of Israel in 1948, the region has been plagued by wars, disenfranchisement, death, injustice and a refugee 'problem' affecting millions. The future of the Palestinians is dire. The Grandest Larceny challenges established assumptions about the history of this momentous historical event.
