Text: “November 2

The anniversary of the Balfour Promise (i.e., Declaration)

 

The Balfour Promise

 

A shocking injustice and exaggerated oppression

A stain of shame on the history of the 20th century

 

Great Britain must erase this shame that harms its interests and stains its honor

 

And the residents of Palestine must work to cancel it”

 

 

Sabri Saidam

 

The Balfour Declaration
