We are often asked how can we help explain the Palestine cause in simple terms. Here it is in 1 minute: The heart of our issue is the cancellation of the Palestinian people, first by colonial Britainโs 1917 Balfour declaration, then by the Zionist movement and the creation of Israel after the ethnic cleansing of the Nakba, and third by US/western countries granting Israel veto power over the Palestinian peopleโs inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination and statehood.
