Dear Veterans & Others, I am writing in seeking to establish a support group, to compensate Palestian Christian Arab Soldiers who fought for the British in World War II in Germany. The way this is written will be about my families experience however this also is the same to many other Arab Christian Palestian Family members. This is a true story. I need to explain a couple of things first of all. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS 99.95% OF WRITTEN DOCUMENTION about Palestians during the Balfour Agreement IS LIES - referring to when they fought with them. A number of the older people are stll alive like my mother My Grandmother's Sister etc alos good sources i have. One of my Auntys (Mothers Sister) works for UNESCO in Paris. I am a Grandchild of one of your fellow soldiers who fought along side by you during world war II. - Not to mention his two brothers were also soldiers for the British. I am an Australian (ps best country in the world) however my mother and father are Palestian Christians. My Grandfather (Mum's dad) was a Sargent for the British Army during WWII went to fight for the British as a Palestian with a Palestian PASSPORT. However the Britsh granted him british citizenship for his duty. During his time he and his brothers were captured in Germany and held as prisioners of war for SEVEN YEARS under Hitlers barney days. During his service he made dear friends with fellow british soldiers understanding, being a prisoner of war for 7 years no contact to the outside world other than your fellow soldiers/teammates. Not seeing your family is heatbreaking and noting knowing will you make it alive. We all know how many died during WWII. My view I wish it never happened and I wish MAN never mad GUNS etc. My Grandmother did not know if her husband was a live or dead, she suffered, no respect was given to her to help her find a communication channel between them. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT IT WAS ONLY THE PALESTIAN CHRISTIAN ARABS WHO FOUGHT THE GERMANS WITH THE BRITISH TO HELP THE JEWS. PEOPLE DONT STATE THAT. AND OF COURSE WHERE IS IT WRITTEN MAYBE IN 1 DOCUMENT OUT of a TRILLION THERE IS DOCUMENTATION THAT THE JEWS WENT THAT IS A LIE THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIGHT HITLER. I HAVE THIS LINK FOR YOU TO SEE. ALSO STATES THAT IT WAS 30,000 PALESTIAN JEWS WHO FOUGHT ALONG THE BRITISH ARMY IN WORLD WAR II AGAIN FACT IS A LIE LIE LIE . Ok I know I am going on but I am tired of the lies out there and the educated jews who write lies to make them the heros and Angry with the British for going back on everything and gave nothing WHEN THEY GAVE THERE LIVES TO THEM THE BRITISH TO HELP AGAINST HITLER. I UNDERSTAND THEY SUFFERED. BUT EVERONE HAS SUFFERED. WHAT ABOUT THE CHRISTIANS HITLER KILLED ETC. THIS IS WHAT MY GRANDFATHER GOT AFTER HIS SERVICE AND I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW AND WANT TO GET SUPPORT TO HELP ME BECAUSE I BELEIVE IN MY HEART LIKE HIS FELLOW BRITISH SOLDERS RECEIVED HE TO IS ENTITLED TO WHAT THEY GOT - A VETRENS PENSION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT. ONE THING I THING I FORGOT TO MENTION APPARENTLY SOMETHING WAS WAS ESTABLISH WITH JORDAN ABOUT THE PALESTIANS FIGHTING FOR THE BRITISH. I LIKE TO POINT OUT - THAT IN THAT PERIOD THE BRITISH WAS IN CONTROL OF PALESTINE AND PALESTIANS LIVED IN PALESTINE NOT JORDAN. IF AN AGREEMENT WITH JORDEN WAS MADE ABOUT THE PALESTIANS NOT TO PAY COMPENSATION TO THE PALESTINIANS. THAT DOES NOT STAND AS JORDON DID NOT AND STILL HAS NO CONTROL OVER PALESTINE/ISRAEL. THIS WAS WAS NEVER TOLD TO THE FELLOW SOLDERS WHO VOLENTEERED FOR THE BRITISH ARMY. IN MY EYES THIS IS ILLEGAL AND DOES NOT HOLD AND I DONT CARE. NOT MATTER WHAT THEY MUST GET WHAT IS OWED TO THEM. THINK ABOUT IT IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION. BEING MISLEAD AND LIED TO DO YOU THINK THAT IS RIGHT HONESTLY? HE DID GET A WAGE DURING THE SERVICE. ONCE ENDED HE NEVER GOT ANY COMPENSATION NO VETERANS PENSION NOTHING NOTHING PRETTY MUCH SEE YOU LATER. HIS BRITISH CITIZENSHIP WAS REVOKED, CHANGED THEIR MINDS CANT HAVE IT ANY MORE IN OTHER WORDS. He was awarded 3 medals but how will that feed a family of 7. I WOULD LIKE YOUR DECSION TO BE HONSET TO YOU MEANING - IT DOES NOT MATTER IF MY GRANDFATHER WAS AN ARAB PALESTIAN OR A CHINESE WHO FOUGHT FOR THE BRITISH DURING THE WWII. WHAT HE DID AND MANY OTHERS DID WERE CHEATED AND USED LIKE ANIMALS THEY DIED FOR THEM, TO ME THAT IS UNJUST. MY MOTHER WAS CRYING TO SEE HER FATHER WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD. PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE IT ON WHERE THE PERSON IS FROM BUT WHETHER YOU THINK A PERSON SHOULD BE TREATED THIS WAY FOR A DUTY SERVED ESPECIALLY DURING WWII. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE ARAB-JEW POLTICS - IT IS ABOUT AWARENESS OF SERVED DUTY AND IT IS ABOUT TIME THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT MADE COMPANESTAION TO THE FAMILIES OF THE ARAB CHRISTIAN PALESTIAN SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT ALONG THEIR SIDE AGAINST HITLER. IT WAS ONLY CHRISTIANS WHO FOUGHT NOT MUSLIMS - I MIGHT BE WRONG ON THIS BUT SO FAR BEEN TOLD ONLY CHRISTIANS FOUGHT - MUSLIMS WERE NOT ABLE TO FOR RELIGOUS REASON IF I AM CORRECT. I SEEK SUPPORT IN ESTABLISHING A EMAIL WITH SIGNATURES TO SEND TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
I am not sure about lump sum compensation payments, but as far as I am aware, British soldiers in German captivity did not receive pensions unless they had suffered permanent disability. They did, however, receive back pay once they were freed. I used to work with two former POWs, one disabled and one not. The disabled colleague, taken prisoner in September 1944, received a pension because he had lost an eye. The other, a prisoner from 1940 to 1945, did not.
Thank you , My Grandfather did not receive back pay and he had lost use of his left arm from the injuries during his service (three fingers were amputated by the germans) Payment should be compensated for their duty to their british giving the citizenship then saying ok then taking it back come on that suxs. Currently I am organisaing a campaign here in Australia - a petitiong to fight against the british government - for what they did to the palestinian soliders who helped them and left them dry and high.

[/b] Good luck however it would need to be a herculean effort to succeed. Have you thought of putting this through the UK courts? I know legal costs can be prohibitive however I feel that would be the only way to enforce a settlement if your proof is binding.
When and where was he taken prisoner and what was his unit? By the way, no sort of campaign we could mount would be likely to produce a result. You need some hard headed advice from a good British lawyer on whether you have a claim which has a chance of succeeding.
