THE BALFOUR DECLARATION

THE BALFOUR DECLARATION

The establishment of a puppet regime under LLOYD GEORGE in London brought a visible change in the official policy towards Zionism. This paid huge dividends when the new Foreign Secretary ARTHUR BALFOUR wrote on November 2, 1917, the following letter to LIONEL ROTHSCHILD, recently

made a peer of the realm:

“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 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 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

The interesting thing is that at the time the letter was written, Palestine was still in the hands of the Turks. Here a nation promises the land that belongs to a second nation to a third. A few weeks later the Turks were defeated and England took control of Egypt and Palestine, France of Lebanon and Syria.

Rothschild’s part of the deal was to us its influence in the U.S. to involve these in the First World War on the side of the Allies, just at the time when the Allies had a lot of problems with Germany and the Turks.
