Palestinians around the world are marking 100 years since the Balfour Declaration was issued on November 2, 1917. It was contained in a letter written by the then British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild, who was a leader of Britain's Jewish community. • • In the letter, Balfour expressed his support for the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people . • • The declaration, which is only 67 words long, is widely celebrated by Israelis. But Palestinians regard it as a betrayal which triggered the colonisation of their land. • • Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips explains. • Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe • Follow us on Twitter: / ajenglish • Find us on Facebook: / aljazeera • Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/
