PA to children: Balfour Declaration was “Satan’s promise”

The article presents several main arguments regarding the Palestinian Authority's (PA) perspective on the Balfour Declaration and its role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

1. Demonization of the Balfour Declaration as a Colonial Crime:

   • The PA portrays the Balfour Declaration as a colonialist initiative by Britain and Western powers to dispossess Palestinians and establish Israel. The declaration is described as a "moral and political crime," enabling the transfer of land to "those who have no right."

2. Historical Revisionism and Antisemitism:

   • The PA alleges that the declaration was motivated by Britain's desire to "get rid of the Jews" due to their alleged attempts to dominate European economies. This narrative integrates antisemitic tropes and frames the Balfour Declaration as part of a global Zionist conspiracy.

3. Call for Rejection and Struggle Against Israel:

   • The PA teaches children and the public that Israel's establishment through the Balfour Declaration represents theft and colonialist oppression. The declaration is used to justify the Palestinian struggle, including terrorism, as a continuation of resistance against this "historical injustice."

These arguments reinforce the PA's rejection of Israel's legitimacy and its historical foundations, using the Balfour Declaration as a symbol of grievance to sustain opposition and mobilize support for its cause.
