The Balfour Declaration, one of the most controversial and contested documents in modern history, was on this day in 1917 that the British government announced its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine.
This was one of the main catalysts of the Nakba – the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 – and the conflict that ensued with the Zionist regime.
In this edition of the Spotlight, we will look at how not dealing with the Palestinian Israeli conflict has resulted in what we are witnessing today – another ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians with the help of the US.
