A conference to mark the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration:

BALFOUR's LEGACY: CONFRONTING THE CONSEQUENCES

When:    Saturday, November 11, 2017, 8 AM to 6 PM

Where:  First Parish in Cambridge,  3 Church Street in the heart of Harvard Square  

What:    Panels, workshops and a keynote by Yousef Munayyer, Executive Director, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.  Suggested donation at the door $10 (or more).  Lunch $5.

The Balfour Declaration committed Britain to the establishment of a 'national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine without consulting the indigenous population.  The conference will explore the consequences of this British commitment, and how we in the US can push for a just resolution of a century-old conflict with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians.
