    One turning point in the movement to support the creation of Israel was the Balfour declaration issued by the British government in 1917. This becomes both a powerful document, as a very strong endorsement of a Jewish national home in Palestine, but it is also a controversial one. It is argued by many that the provision for protecting the rights of non-Jewish Palestinians has been disregarded since the creation of the modern state of Israel. The encouragement given by the Balfour Declaration is a major factor in the massive migration of Jews from all parts of the world and eventually paved way for the formation of the State of Israel.

    In my opinion, Mr. Press had watched too much Palestinian's propaganda. Stating that Israel not only stole Palestinian lands, but robbed their resources and its citizens dignity; claiming that they are second-rate citizens.

    The Israelis are unwilling to lose their status as a Jewish state, but there is no possible way the Palestinians would agree to live and coexist in a Jewish state. A joint council of Israeli and Palestinian representatives would not work because there would constantly be a 50/50 split, and it would be difficult for any decisions to be made. Because of this, any development of a combined Palestinian-Israeli state would be limited. Member of the Israeli Knesset for the Labor Party, Hilik Bar, said, “One state would be the end of the Zionist dream and it would eliminate the dream of the Palestinians to have a state of their own. With this, we would doom ourselves to perpetual conflict, a lose-lose situation” (Bar).…
