Dweik: Balfour Declaration oppressed our people

Speaker of the Palestinian legislative council Dr. Aziz Dweik has said that the Balfour Declaration had inflicted great injustice on the Palestinian people.

Dweik, speaking to a students’ rally in Gaza over the telephone on Wednesday night, said that Britain was responsible for the suffering of the Palestinian people as a result of this infamous declaration.

He said that Britain had facilitated the immigration of Jews from the four corners of the world to Palestine and helped them to establish themselves on the ground and supported all their projects, which led to the creation of the “Zionist entity” at the expense of the Palestinian people.
