A new film from Independent Jewish Voices
100 Years after Balfour
100 Years After Balfour is a new talking heads film made by Independent Jewish Voices. The film spells out the troubling legacy of the Balfour Declaration, challenging the notion that this year’s centenary is cause for celebration, given the grave consequences of the document for Palestinians above all.
The film goes on to explain how the decisions of the British government in 1917 are linked to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, its fifty year occupation of the West Bank since 1967, and today’s political gridlock. 100 Years After Balfour features seven experts and activists: Professor Avi Shlaim, Professor Jacqueline Rose, Rabbi Howard Cooper, Professor Brian Klug, Antony Lerman, Barnaby Raine and Miri Weingarten.
Very interesting.
Wish you good luck.
Balfour was supported internationally by France, Italy, Russia, Tokyo ++. Perfidious Albion’s promise to Arabs to give them Judea was not. How can you imagine Jews, one of the founding Middle East cultures, have no rights to land or a home & peace in their own land after 3,500 years? 75k Jewish graves in Israel (Mount of Olives.) NO Muslim ones pre 1917. 100s of ancient synagogues. One old mosque, neglected for 2 centuries, no Imam. British Mandate Palestine Mufti had to beg Arab world for refurb money – not enough Muslims in the land to pay. Get a real history lesson you guys. Stop pretending Jews are not native to Israel. Stop trying to wipe us out.
Own land for 3500 years?!!! Other facts incorrect!
