British Government ought to apologize to Palestinians over Balfour Declaration
We call on Her Majesty’s Government to openly recognise British responsibility for the plight of the Palestinian people and apologize for the Balfour Declaration. The colonial policy of Britain between 1917-1948 led to mass displacement of the Palestinian nation.
The Balfour declaration of 1917 clearly prejudiced the rights of Palestinian people and sealed their fate, leading to untold suffering.
HM Government bears responsibility for the plight of Palestinians and has a duty to ensure proper restoration and reparation for its historical failure.
Our government must take the lead in bringing peace and justice for Palestinians in accordance with International law and the vision of the International community.
