England's destructive agriculture (!) and the seed of the Al-Islam in Tehran On November 2, 1917 (Evan 11, 1296), British Foreign Minister Arthur James Balfour wrote a short but disastrous letter to Lord Walter Rothschild and officially announced that His Majesty's government "views favorably the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel". These few simple lines, which had only sixty-seven words, are one of the most shameful documents in the history of modern colonialism. Britain promised another group land it did not own and does not hold, while the vast majority of its inhabitants were Palestinian Arabs, and the Jews made up less than ten percent of the population. The Balfour Declaration was made when the Land of Israel was still part of the Ottoman Empire and Britain had no legal or moral right to decide its future. However, this document became the basis for the British Mandate on the Land of Israel after World War I and facilitated organized Israeli immigration with London's military and administrative support. Only thirty-seven days after the announcement, the British forces captured Jerusalem and quickly took control of the entire Land of Israel. What was later called the "National House" was actually the beginning of a process of land grabbing, eviction and replacement of a peaceful population with discriminatory land acquisition laws and strict restrictions on native Arabs. Britain, which claimed to support human rights and democracy, actually provided the means to create a discriminatory system. The British protectorate over Palestine not only facilitated immigration, but also suppressed indigenous resistance by force and repeatedly used its military forces against Palestinian protests and disturbances. This pattern was later completed by Israel: racial laws such as the pseudo-Jewish nation state law, total control of land and water resources, a dual judicial system for Jews and Palestinians, and a systematic denial of equal citizenship rights that international human rights organizations have called full-scale apartheid. This colonial heritage was not limited to paper and signature only; Instead, it became a practical project that displaced more than 750,000 Palestinians during the Nakbat from 1948 to the present day and increased the number of refugees registered with UNRWA to more than 5.
