The image shows the front cover of a pamphlet made by Fatah’s Shabiba Youth Movement, which shows the Shabiba logo, which includes the PA map of "Palestine" that presents all of Israel as "Palestine" together with the PA areas. The map is in the colors of the Palestinian flag against a background of a shield with the pattern of a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) over it. A book is seen to the right of the map, and “The State of Palestine” is written below the shield.

“A pamphlet from the Shabiba student movement – Palestine

100 years of the ominous Balfour Promise (i.e., Declaration)”

The Balfour Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Baron Rothschild stating that “His Majesty's government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” In 1922, the League of Nations adopted this and made the British Mandate “responsible for putting into effect the declaration,” which led to the UN vote in 1947 and the establishment of the State of Israel.
