One of the largest betrayals in history by a leading world country.
The area of "palestine" in the levant was intended to be equally divided between Jews and Muslims. All of it.
After the discovery of the value of oil, the Brits had to do some very quick conspiring, creating Jordan, an all Muslim country, and later pretending it was not part f the original "palestine" to be equally divided.
The beauty of this post is that it will force a lot of really really ignorant people who hold great sympathy for the sandmaggots to perhaps learn a bit of real history.

Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour
