Balfour Declaration: How Should Muslims View the Zionist State?

Arthur James Balfour, an early 20th century foreign secretary. For 12 million Palestinians, his name is all too familiar. Its the 100th anniversary of the Balfour declaration.

On 2 November 1917, Balfour signed a letter promising the land of Palestine to the Zionist Federation, a recently established political movement whose goal was the creation of a Jewish state. He promised a land that was not his to promise, disregarding the political rights of those who already lived there. For the Palestinian people – the events this letter triggered have been as devastating as they have been far-reaching.
