Pro-Palestine protesters gather during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Australia outside the Town Hall in Sydney, Feb. 23, 2017. DAVID MOIR/AAP/PA Images. All rights reserved.After one hundred years, Britain seems to be at the same moral stage it was at when UK Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour wrote to the leader of the British Jewish community, Baron Rothschild, promising the establishment of a "national home" for the Jewish people in Palestine.
Instead of making redress, creating historical transformations, social developments and repairs to the Palestinians, the British prime minister has invited the Israeli prime minister to a celebration to mark the centile anniversary of the Balfour declaration.
This celebration triggers the historical trauma that has left significant scars on Palestinian collective memory; over a century of displacement and military domination that have deprived Palestinians politically and culturally and treated them as problematic and inferior beings.
