Palestine From The River To The Sea
To the Citizens of the World: A Century of Fiduciary Betrayal
The Balfour Declaration's foundational clause pledged to safeguard the civil and religious rights of Palestine's non-Jewish communities, establishing a fiduciary duty. The subsequent century reveals profound Anglo-American complicity in a settler-colonial project that has systematically violated this obligation. Their patronage has enabled a regime of displacement and fragmentation, whose demographic engineering and territorial conquests now meet the legal criteria for genocide, rendering the declaration a historical abnegation.
Yet this promise, woven from the same thread as the colonial map, unraveled a nation. To remember Palestine is to hold a century of silence to the light and hear the land's own story, still being erased.
