Balfour Declaration 1917

Back 5

--Arthur Balfour- Foreign Minister of Great Britain
-“His Majesty’s Government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a
National Home for the Jewish People, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate
the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be
done which may prejudice the civil and religious right of existing non-Jewish
communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any
other country.
 Balfour made contradictory promises to both Jews and Palestinian Arabs.
 Some argue that Balfour’s statement, on behalf of the British government, was just to justify wartime promises made to Jews in Germany and Austria during WWI.
Balfour Controversy---
 At this point only about 11% of the population of Palestine was Jewish
 Balfour’s Declaration which spoke of a “National Home for Jewish People” would be incompatible with majority rule.
 This would soon change . . . .
