Balfour Declaration the crime of the century

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official PA spokesman on Wednesday blasted the Balfour Declaration that led to the fabrication of current Israel, calling it “the crime of the century”.

In the statement issued to mark the 99th anniversary of the declaration, Abu Rudeineh said that this crime brought disaster upon the Palestinian people whose consequences, including living as refugees, are evident to this day.

He called on Britain to reconsider its position and correct its historical mistake which remains a “mark of Cain on the forehead of humanity.”

“The colonial approach is what sowed the seeds of the wars that still take place in the region and the world,” the PA spokesman further said.

The statement comes several days after the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) launched a new campaign to have Britain to apologize for the Balfour Declaration.
