The Popular Conference of the Palestinians Abroad in cooperation with other pro-Palestine groups has launched a popular campaign under the title “Balfour: Centenary of a Colonial Project.”
According to the organizers the campaign aims to raise the Palestinian voice worldwide against the Balfour declaration on its centenary and to emphasize the Palestinian people’s right to return to the homes they were expelled from.
The campaign will promote public awareness about the meaning of this declaration historically politically and legally and unveil hidden details about it.
It also seeks to confront the events held by Israel to mark the Balfour declaration and to highlight the responsibility of western colonial states in general and Britain in particular for the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe) that resulted from this declaration.
For this purpose the organizers created the hashtag “#Balfour 100” on Twitter as well as the website “www.balfour100 colonial.org” and called for active participation in their campaign.
