Balfour's 109-Year Legacy
November 2 marks the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, issued in 1917, when Britain declared its support for establishing a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, without the consent of its indigenous inhabitants. The declaration was incorporated into the British Mandate in 1922. Subsequent developments led to the 1947 partition plan for Palestine, then the Nakba and Israel’s declaration of establishment in 1948, which displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Palestinian groups call on Britain to accept its historical responsibility, affirming the continued validity of Palestinian rights—above all, the rights to self-determination, freedom, independence and return.
