Youth Information Center organized a campaign yesterday evening with the "Balfour100" tag on Twitter on the 100^th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration that led to the settlement of the zionist occupation of Palestinian territory.

Many activists had shared their thoughts and feelings through Twitter on campaign organized in two languages, in English and Arabic.

It was reported that the campaign was organized to publicize the message of the Palestinian people to the entire world through social media and activists. It also pointed out that England is responsible for the tragedy lasted over a hundred years in Palestine.

Youth Information Center Director Ibrahim Al-Medhun, in his speech at the beginning of the campaign, said that they invite the Palestinian young people to show interest in their national cause and rights of the Palestinians to the world.

Balfour Declaration

The 67-word message which has ill-famed with the Britain's Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour in that period, the Palestinian lands have begun to usurped a hundred years ago in favor of the zionist project in the region.

This Declaration was published on October 2, 1917. In this writing, it was decided that Palestinian lands should be "owned" by the thought and plan of the zionist invaders.

After the US President Wilson accepted, the British Foreign Ministry has issued the Balfour Declaration in five copies.

The content of the Declaration was later attached to the mandate document by the five permanent members of the United Nations in 1922.

The zionist entity is an asset that many colonial circles have created. To reveal it, they couldn’t find an opportunity like the Balfour Declaration. The Balfour Declaration was the milestone that paved the way for occupation by the zionists in Palestinian lands.
