Criminal Illegitimate Regime
A glimpse at the history of Zionist crimes against Palestinians
One of the significant and far-reaching consequences of World War I was the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. In the final years of World War I, around 1917, Lord Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary, announced the establishment of a Jewish national homeland under the protection of the British government in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration laid the necessary groundwork for the formation of an independent Jewish state in the land of Palestine. After the establishment of the League of Nations following World War I, Palestine came under British mandate and committed to governing the land in a way that would facilitate the creation of an independent nation while safeguarding the rights of Palestinians. However, under pressure from Jewish groups, Britain gradually allowed more Jews to settle in this land. The period under British mandate was marked by numerous conflicts and tensions between Arab Palestinians and Jewish immigrants, resulting in violations of Palestinian rights and crimes against the Palestinian people.
