An international conference looking at Britain’s legacy in Palestine is being organized by The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC).And this is the picture they use to illustrate their conference:
It will coincide with the fourth Palestine Memorial Week, from 19th-25th Jan 2013, and be the formal launching pad for International Balfour Campaign, which is a five year initiative by the PRC to mark the centenary of the Balfour Declaration in 2017.
The Balfour campaign intends to raise greater awareness of Britain’s failed policy in Palestine and its devastating consequences. Thousands of Palestinians who suffered under British administration are still alive and many millions continue to endure terrible human rights abuse as a result of Britain’s failed policy in the region.
These two security persons, a British soldier and a TransJordanian soldier, colluded to engage in a subversion, orchestrated by local British mandate officials, of the international decision to reconstitute a Jewish national home anywhere in Palestine and contributed to the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their centuries-old homes.
