Also Red's Lounge, was fortunate enough to catch Robert Balfour there a few years ago while passing through.

You cannot understand the modern Middle East without knowing about Sykes-Picot, the Balfour Declaration, Ataturk, and Nasser.

The handover of Hong Kong, Suez Crisis and the Balfour Declaration stand out the most.

The Balfour Declaration, in context, was like buying a car title from the impound lot.

Arthur Balfour was Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1887 till 1891 and it was his idea to create a Jewish state in Palestine.

Those are downstream from The Balfour Agreement and Nakba.

I would encourage everyone to read about The Balfour Declaration and Nakba.

I didn't make it up, the Balfour declaration makes it pretty clear, so if you're upset natives are attacking you what's your point exactly.

Yes, and before you know it we're at the Balfour declaration.

The Balfour Agreement is very well documented.

Why would we look back to the Balfour declaration?

You have the US and Israel literally leveling the equivalent of Balfour or the White House and taking out other government officials in a decapitation strike that failed, but killed off all of the moderates.

Sure, that must be why the very text of the Balfour Declaration specifies "Palestine" and why coins from the 19th century have been proven to show the same.

Michael Balfour's 1979 book "Propaganda in War 1939–1945: Organizations, Policies and Public in Britain and Germany" discusses the slogan briefly in a footnote saying that it was considered too extreme vs.

Part of this mandate was the Balfour Declaration, which basically said that Britain would work to build 'a national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine ("it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine").

It was absolutely not Balfour's idea to create a Jewish state in Palestine.

Balfour's declaration, which wasn't official law, didn't single-handedly dictate British policy for the next 30 years and 14 governments; people vastly overstate the importance of it.
