Protest & Celebrations Mark Balfour Declaration Centenary

Protest & Celebrations Mark Balfour Declaration Centenary

 

 

Protests
in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and a celebratory banquet in
London, attended by Israel’s and the UK’s prime ministers, are the
contrasting ways in which the centenary
of the controversial Balfour declaration supporting the establishment of
a Jewish homeland in Palestine is being marked.
