Ep 60 – Professor John Quigley (Britain’s Illegal Rule Over Palestine & the Legal Case for Accountability)

from The Enlightenment Podcast · host shamimsarif

For over a century, we’ve all been told that Britain lawfully governed Palestine — that the League of Nations mandated Britain to create a Jewish homeland, and that the international community supported these actions. Professor John Quigley has spent 40 years in legal archives uncovering the truth, and his assertion is that every single one of these claims is a lie.In Episode 57 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Hanan and Shamim are joined by Professor John Quigley, one of the world’s foremost authorities on international law and the legal history of Palestine. For four decades, Professor Quigley has meticulously examined the British Mandate, the Balfour Declaration, and the legal maneuvers that shaped — and distorted — the fate of Palestine. His conclusion is seismic: Britain’s entire presence in Palestine from 1917 to 1948 was unlawful, and the foundational myths that have justified displacement, partition, and ongoing atrocities are built on legal fraud.Professor Quigley is Professor Emeritus of International Law at The Ohio State University, and the author of numerous landmark books. His newest work, Britain and Its Mandate Over Palestine: Legal Chicanery on a World Stage, exposes the manipulation, forged legitimacy, and political engineering that set the stage for over a century of Palestinian dispossession.This conversation is essential for anyone who wants to understand not just history — but the legal foundations of the violence unfolding today.Professor John Quigley’s Work:Britain and Its Mandate Over 📚 Palestine: Legal Chicanery on a World Stage https://bit.ly/446WY3S📚 The Legality of a Jewish State: A Century of Debate over Rights in Palestine https://bit.ly/484QWSG Enlightenment Podcast Social Media:https://feedlinks.link/enlightenmentpodcast#TheEnlightenmentPodcast #JohnQuigley #MandateForPalestine #BritishMandate #PalestineHistory #InternationalLaw #LegalChicanery #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine #AccountabilityForBritain #DecolonizePalestine #IsraelPalestine #GazaGenocide #HistoricalTruth #BritainOwesPalestine
