Lancaster: Talk on Balfour Declaration


Lord Balfour

Lord Balfour

November 2017 sees the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration in which the British Government promised to create a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. While most Jewish communities around the world will be celebrating the anniversary, Palestinians see it as an historic betrayal of their rights, the implications of which are still being played out today. Robert Cohen is a leading dissident voice within the UK Jewish community and his talk will present some of the 'lost voices' of Jewish dissent against Balfour 100 years ago and discuss the prospect of Jewish opposition to Zionism today.

Mr Cohen will be speaking at on Wednesday, 15 November at 7pm, at The Cornerstone, corner of Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PX
