The news is going to continue here on audra 0 after ball for seeds of discord. The of the voice of david been good in declaring the establishment of the state of israel in may 1948 the. 2 the ball for the corporation was a letter sent by British Foreign secretary Arthur Balfour a member of the british house of lords. Lord rothschild on the 2nd of november 1917. The, the letter sent to a leading figure in the British Jewish Community over a 100 years ago had repercussions which even its authors cannot have imagined the, whichever, its real intentions. It went on to have a profound impact on the middle east and its people. And its, its that still resonates across the region today. The in 1914, the soldiers were fighting on the battlefields of europe. In the 1st world war, the allies, britain, france, and russia felt the central powers of germany, austria, hungary, and the Ottoman Empire for 4 years. But the now and, and see war was not the only valuable ground muscle was also being flex behind, closed stores as allies conspired. How to re drawn maps to their own advantage when the conflict eventually sir mark sykes for the british and french varnish or should be cool for the french plots and how to divide the arab lands of the Ottoman Empire. Assuming its would find the default, dislikes pico agreement, nancy quickie to divide it into french and british spears of influence. Friends taking most of the bones, southern anatolia and the muso area. While the british extended their control over the southern lafond expanding east towards the bus, dad and boston, and all the nan between their weeping gulf and the french territory. Historic palestine tends to part of the Ottoman Empire, was a bone of contention and would be put under International Administration that police tina pulsate on today. Always nice thought that called a best good to most of the very simple qual, best good to follow that buddies. Teen that falls either play the scrutiny off by the students. They dont route out and show through the is the stronger bodies think that the ice box screwed up . I just, you know, like, you, my pause, youre good. I distress her. Cant just trust to that bloss key man, i dont tell you something. What does she do there . K, i mean that im not sure that, that done that trying to do that, but its different than what was that this a 100 its about for you. I the funding i have to keep off. Was it that brought up on quite a while with us . How the, thats a lot can be a what i can let me when i come back here. I think the british felt that there had not been enough government involvement, including the sites, the co agreement with the french and then that process they had not really protected their interests well enough for a post world war era in which the British Empire would continue to seek to be a dominant force in european affairs. And so really officials across whitehall, including mark sikes himself, felt it was a bad deal for you. I havent, i didnt act okay. Well, feel like most edit the people not to have it. So you need one of your not to just mean the whole yeah. From how on the data for the scene when you when the home. Yeah. And it was you would see from the scene what kathy is on a fence. Well, i dont have to come in to have them enough who are let me click on a i many of class and i many and the then that for. And its a huge significance that when theyre making these discussions, jews, and so on, its not discussed. Juice, but not to feature in the news, caught telegraphy at the mid lease which was to be based on the idea of the arab nation. The sign is in was the movement supporting the establishment of a jewish homeland in the area. It defined as the historic night and of israel. The movement was active in early 20th century london, especially the because of the persecution of jewels in russia and eastern europe. Theodore heard sol had found to design is to come into the late 19th century. But jewish people in western europe had no to us to support it because they were integrating quite successfully into society. Zionists believed that all jews should some day return to that country. One of the problems was that palestine belonged to the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire was not clear that it wanted massive jewish immigration into palestine. And the British Government offered to let jews move unimpeded in great numbers into uganda if they wished. But in any event, it really didnt happen. And it didnt happen because a majority of scientists, so that hurtful was selling them out. And thats the only place for jews to move back to what least conscious design is choose to move back to was palestine. In this, i think brittany began to look on design. This movement is a possible partner in justifying or read negotiations of their agreement with the french. You see, for britain simply to claim territory against what theyve already concluded in an agreement with friends. Could create diplomatic problems at the british. But if they were to make a claim to palestine, not out of self interest, but in order to advance a great historic ideal of the restoration of the jewish people to that typical homeland. That this could justify an adjustment of the terms of the sites pico in a way that the french would accept the british wanted somehow. Uh and, and more and more increasingly, they felt that the jews held the key to winning the war. And so they had to figure out how to bribe the jews to support the to sir, mark sikes had succeeded in drawing the line he wanted from acre in the west to cook in the east. But for some government, this was not enough. The british were using the Jewish National movement to secure ca, this time for themselves is this is what hind bites then is really going to find open ears and 10 downing street in the for an office in the Colonial Office. And its paving the way towards that critical decision in november of 1917. And so i think you can direct, you can draw a direct connection or between britain, the southern acknowledgement of zionism as an idea at an ideal and what they were dissatisfied with them. The terms of sykes pico hi, invite. Simon was a chemistry lecturer in manchester, who had become a prominent member of the british scientist movement. He was politically well connected and rub shoulders with senior figures and government. So high and vitamin was russian by birth. He was a chemist, and then he joined the Zionist Movement. He climbed in the Zionist Movement. He moved to Great Britain before the war, well before the war, maybe 10 years before the war began. He was not before the war, very well known in the english Zionist Movement. He was pretty well known in the world. Zion is federation, but he was by no means the most visible zionist when world war one began in Great Britain. Weitzman later wrote in his memoirs about having been introduced a British Government minister Herbert Samuel samuel was to wish, but vitamin was apparently concerned that he might be anti zionist. However, Herbert Samuel turned out to be extremely receptive devices and went onto right in official memo in 1915, sitting out a number of different possibilities for palestine and the jewish people. The town was the huntsman hickey and for who were come by the name of fluids and the abyss. Yes, it was. Who it cut them was a cut out. Im full of steam lumina. I knew it was little fill in the from the come have a lot of me a lot, a hello and know who, where, where the, who did the, who yeah. Knew marquez mo, should when her cool man and pretty funny. You got that move up, cut off a little cool, matt and not sure, but the said we follow stand by the nothing to have had a will have a that the steam i left the steam a lot and hope see in the late o d o c. A and the human a brief on the 15. 0, lets see it a book. But if somebody had only a who, the comment was. Yeah, and you can, but he didnt find willing eaters in whitehall or in the Colonial Office for schemes that involved the establishment of a jewish state in palestine. Britain was really concerned with 2 things by the time that the 1st world war had broken out, they brought it to with the board. First and foremost, this was an imperative for the survival of britain at its empire. And secondly, they wanted to ensure that coming out of the board victorious, that their empire would benefit from the victory. So at this stage, i invite simmons and Herbert Samuels ideas about the rights of the jews to the central and palestine. Did not find much sympathy in the corridors of power in london at disappointed fights monroe to a friend, asking whether there wasnt at least a discussion to be had about what he called the chance for the jewish people. I realize, of course, he went on, we cannot claim anything, we are much to optimized for it. What the debate did do, however, was to throw together vitamin the russian jewish immigrant searching for a homeland and refuge from persecution. With Herbert Samuel lords rothschild for members of the british, jewish leech established in society and part of the political and capitalist class. So it is in, for the most part across all of the community was actually in the minority. But certainly most of all within the jewish of late because its threatened the notion of them as a 100 percent committed members of pursue society. And this was complete inasmuch for somebody like every montague to become sick to state for india. For him, john is in mrs. West nightmare, the idea that jews and not satisfied simply with being citizens of britain or other countries around the world that are always willing to go back to the end of his route. For him, he wanted to demonstrate that the jews a prince in the 1st and foremost british a simpleton, to remember that for people like roles, child design, is that actually been a threat. You see the elite in british jewelry had fought for generations to gain acceptance in british society. It was only with the arrival of dis, really in the 19th century, the jews entered parliament and could rise to become Prime Minister. And for people of high finance or banking interest, the really elite of the Jewish Community of britain, their struggle to demonstrate their place in british society. When the design isnt with his claims that jews were a people the part and should be a nationalist movement in their own right. Or a nasa with danny lamb. But he yeah. Nice talking to you and how to see the vehicle off the body. Yeah. How to get ahold of the when he again i have had done many gets it. I went to going to be the whole the feet are behind the other ones. You havent get off the shift that and this will be a bit of funding for the money band or be i have, i mean for flash one of us have the have you my, i mean so you how to say here the what i said x vitamin intervene, share a much a shields, a lovely little mind to the to anita might the complete the key bill in the list of breed t u haul it and then with the to only come vitamin rush like thats mostly but instead of the mission of the theme kids vitamin that makes the difference and i think he was probably unique in his ability to persuade, leaving british figures that the jews were, in fact a vast subterranean influence which they were not that old jews were zionist, which was far from the truth. And that therefore they t to winning jewish support was to offer them palestine. Vitamin talked up the degree to which the Jewish Community supported zine has them in order to get his message across to the government. But for the british, it seemed to be about self interest. About winning the war. Recognizing zionism would be closely linked to gaining global jewish support. For this objective on which it saw its future resting to the british motives for supporting sign is a way we can pull it down to 2 elements of british self interest at that time. Not an emotional interest in time as soon or a love of jews and the jewish plights, and the desire for the return of the jews to the how the land know for very specific self interest matters of policy. They were a festival. All of the British Government agreed that they wanted to mobilize behind britain and the allies this idea of jewish power in the world. They were like all of the different policy late in the war, believers in the notion, the jews with tremendous influence in the corridors of power around the cloud. If the British Government appeared to support signs in they would, we know the well to read to the side and know that entitled to finish, were convinced that sign assume it was really at the center of the jewish homes in may. 1916 sir. Mark sikes had agreed to secret deals with the french sykes because which formed the basis of the future carpet of the old Ottoman Empire. So immediately turned his attention to palestine, 2 parts of the Ottoman Empire and how to use scientist ambition. Ultimately, the french formal contact between the British Government and design this followed. He immediately phoned Herbert Samuel and told him about the plan and Herbert Samuel vin phone. Hi m vitamin and vitamin brought with him nay, hum, suck, hello. This meeting took place on the 11th of april 1916. It took place at moses casters house and made a val and gaster wrote in his diary afterwards how proud he was. That this meeting which he thought was the most important meeting that had ever taken place. In the history of zionism had taken place at his house. A 0 one, mark sikes the any its out of ive had a can still hear me. Oh was she for some of my gust of not know who attended rooms stand by and jelia who the best buy them a lot to do it. All right. One who in the, in the army so far north of all who in the site the couldnt unload your emotions. Gas to very quickly understands that sikes is looking to gain support from suppose a jewish power in the world and gets to works with this idea. And manipulates this to consolidate. Sikes is interested in science and we say actually the bench come, becomes very close to ready, not say, 16th of issuing a public declaration in simple design. Isnt there in the, in this doesnt happen that year. The plan psych scott Herbert Samuel to pass on to design is peters, involve joint british French Administration of palestine and a charter guaranteeing british the court before zionism. But his idea was rejected. The they didnt want an anglo french condominium in palestine. They wanted the british to protect them, not the french. And thats because they thought that the french always sort of converted their colonized people into becoming frenchman. And what they wanted was to remain as self conscious jews. And they thought that the british would leave them alone and let them do that. And the scripture must be hilton levine, become bikes, mom, vegas. So kind of a way behind the shape. A brute team. Let me see whats ashley look, orchestra. Huh. I brought him, put him to the bay. My lot to me can you see got time. Are you these donors go just want to meet with them, but the family will be hopefully youve been loyal to name a really by much im, i will i much muscle is reputable. Im one minutes. You. Nothing. A how funny mother she actually named one was go with them, is the bolstered by their new found credibility to produce the sinus nonsense. Making specific demands after the sikes meeting, but event soon overtook them. On the 6th of december, 1916 british Prime Minister asked chris resigned in the change of government, arthur golf or became foreign secretary under Prime Minister David Lloyd George like george c. I see that is the has been cut off today, cut off from us by you. Some of them was that off, one of the december, people excited. So flash your card in the hole and the hotel and the to be what that mean and say hey, you broke a sent to you one note about uh, uh, yeah, and i had up inside the company if it could. And would you like me to go into you see, kind of saying, oh for was a rather philosophical bent. Uh, and i think he wanted to thinking theological terms. Uh, you wanted to thinking historical terms and uh, and it was, it was that frame of mind. I think that that he approached the whole question, yes it thats the follows. My assignment was how it and my flesh means its of, of a sex vehicle as easy as it was. Thats how cool mcclay george in a can and cannot but attack at home a task with why both on the civil was in. How did you you can us by the on the doesnt mind been heavy and that im of the David Lloyd George h. I filed for an order status, its important to pass the declaration with in the British Government. We can absolutely categorize as being riveted with anti semitic thinking. And not telling me that, but the thinking behind the baffle decoration that drove them to the basket creation was from this anti semitic. So the idea of jewish pallets of jewish cohesiveness, and of a unified jewish attachment design is above all else spaces. The relationship between the british design of the government would continue to grow throughout the 1917 meeting. So the declaration would change the face of the middle east and ultimately determined the destinies of 2 different people. The protests against policies from brussels are escalating. These farms increasingly consider the depth and to me, only 2 years ago, thousands of ukrainian refugees were warmly welcomed at this border. Now its blocked. Pharmacy use support for ukraine has gone too far. So ukrainian green is flooding. Poland and were getting 4 and 4. We dont know what to do with our products anymore. While the farm, as i saying that they like military and human at terry in a past, these protests have seriously damaged your Branch Relationship with the one country that help is most sense throughout shot and faded. Ukrainian drivers helped a low k 12 and they had 0 loans that had give me things and i still carrying dentist and finding out and you find everything is much more difficult. Ukraine has accused it both test us of having a political motive, especially with you elections coming up. Images of farmers carrying pro russian families estimate things even worse. Families and gaza facing unimaginable hardships during times of crisis. Solidarity is the strongest defense against injustice. And weve been in gaza since 1991 doing life saving look. Your generosity can provide value to support to those west effected because he met doggy style a youll see showing this probably test gave see now tonight today the a timer on madison. This is all the 0 life from doha. These are the self storage. So now the convoy of trucks is arriving in northern jobs are loaded with desperately needed age. 19 shots are carrying essentials, including rice of sugar and flour. It follows an ally of delivery on saturday. It was the 1st one in months to live in the north without incident. Is there any forces have killed more than 92 people in guys in the past 24 hours at least to 12 palestinians were killed in debt or bala and a strike on a residential building. I mean, while these are the forces are conducting a military operation. Yes, chief, a hospital in johnson city. Israel is claiming that the operation comes off the Intelligence Services informed them of the presence of homeless officials and the complex german chancellor all off shawls has warned, is rarely timers have Benjamin Netanyahu against whose plans for the grand defensive and wi fi in southern gaza. The 2 latest well be meeting in west jerusalem. The longer the war last, the higher the number of civilian casualties rises. The more desperate the situation of the people and does have become. The more this backs the question, no matter how important the goals kind of justifies, thats totally be high costs or are there other ways to achieve . Youll go take the ground to assess them safe and level very to we. Logic is one consideration, but there is a few minutes having logic as one house with more than one point. 5000000. 00 people would be protected with should they go injection president , the 5. 00 susie has met due to being Commission President as of on the line in cairo. Shes an artist and 8000000000 dollar age package for egypt. Lot of your opponents declared victory in russias president ial election with pulling stations now closed, and more than 2 thirds of violence counted as a result. So these taken at least a few 7 percent of the votes evacuation has been ordered in iceland, what a volcanoes interrupted for the 1st time since december findings of molten rock soared from a low, fisher and the ground lava has reached the eastern edges of a small town of green that it can southern iceland, most of its residents have left. And those of the headlines and these continues here on audra 0 officer ball for seeds of discord. The 1st world war between britain, france and russia, against germany, austria, hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The protest in the shape of the diplomats are mark sykes, were determined to divide awesome and territory in a way that best suits a done once the war was over. For their own strategic interests, the by 1917, the war was shifting in the allies, fever and in the middle east. The british were moving through sinai towards the borders of historic palestine. Further north, the Russian Revolution in february 1917 cast doubt on russias continued involvement in the war. As president friends tried to out to maneuver one another, the british scientist movement took on increasing political importance. Sites wants to get back in touch with the scientists and think about how to incorporate scientists have in british planning for palestine. And at this moment we see a, heres an important meeting taking place in the home of moses guestimate about in february of 1917. And this is the point in which sikes meets the 1st time con fights man. And the who im so kind of and other scientists in which its discussed what design is looking for. And the british interest in scientists, and so he had to bring designers to long without divulging what were the secret agreements that britain and france had come to with regard to palestine, which was that they would jointly administer parts of palestine at this meeting for the British Government was sykes and Herbert Samuel was there. On the other side, there were a vitamin and suck hello. And there was moses gaster, and he brought a couple of his allies because he realized that vitamin was beginning to push him out of the way. The other very important figure was james ross child who attended this meeting. And at the meeting, it became clear to sykes that vitamin not gaster was the most important zionist. This is also the moment when moses guest is dislodged. Sykes is potent on the front side. Pico havent lot gusta gas to had been in the system. They should be a to states and nothing less coming into being off to the wall. And pico clearly wanted sign is too much more willing to compromise with the interest of the great pounds. And that sort of a 5 by soon was certainly happy to fit that bill. The meetings between design this and the government seemed to give them moment them to the idea of british support for a jewish homeland in palestine and their potential role in its administration. But the secret psych speak agreement between britain and friends which formed the basis of the future division of the Ottoman Empire. Planned to put palestine under International Administration. Any change would have to be negotiated with friends. Now i am so kind of emerged as the man to talk to the french in the whole sort of way or the to a be story. Uh a the issue michel that was yeah, sure he gave them. I have a big issue very booth. Tanya sucka low became the acknowledged lead diplomat for zionism and all the accounts say that he had an extremely sort of elegant bearing and wore very fine clothing and that his manners were polished and polite and smooth, silky smooth. So that he could talk on an equal basis with the representatives of the germans kaiser or the British Government or whatever. So the day after the meeting between sikes and the zionist leaders, sikes but. Busy lot, circle low to meet the french diplomat. Pico, what sykes wanted was for suckle lo. To a persuade pico that zion is in, must be taken seriously that zion is, im really was the key to winning the war and, and, and that design. And this would only help the allies when the war, if britain was the main power in palestine, not france felt like of pico, i did not get ahold of may puffy, said mall, so quite off without false applause. You wont provide your huh. Id like to talk for that cool average that could be used as true re key check. Dont that got you . Which i thought that go, ill buddy see. It all started last time. We all pers, these 100 kids ill say go say patrick without that. Yeah. Home well, so i thought i could agree i might tell you the heavier mon sykes and of so in the circle of funeral for a separately and, and they will effort on. So we, im going to have the, she kind of flows through my more election and british cabinets or that of, and the pollution from. So we thought of in what had been for alice, the covenants in english, a or low in the already listed on. So we into allows us to be, its hard to know how much influence sykes ultimately had over british policy making. He was given more prominence and british policy making around of, at least during the war years than he ever deserved. He was a relatively ill educated, inexperienced man, whose only connection to the ottoman world had been as a tourist. So for this man to be playing such a role in the holes of power over deciding british policy towards the near east, seems to us today to be anomalous. Indeed, ridiculous. Regardless of sykes roll. Things continue to progress for the scientist. And in june 1917 British Foreign secretary arthur ball for as high invites and to present his demands as a declaration, and promised to try and persuade his government to adopt it. The leading scientists form the Political Committee and drafted their demands and then submitted them to the British Governments. This original document was one of the 1st drafts written at the Imperial Hotel in london. On the 17th of july, 1917. It also introduced a new term as concept, the National Home of the jewish people. So in the initial sign is drafting a of the declaration and they would protest months. So honestly does to nothing so close that there is no mention as a terminology of a jewish state. That is said the talking about a National Home. I said this is a trial of what the scientists are trying to achieve. And so close response was that we mustnt go too far. We have to take small steps. We have to go with what is acceptable to the British Government at this time. And then slowly, slowly, we can advance that caused once we have this inherent a lot say that, no, im uninstalling enough. So just thought i was, im coming yeah. That i some of the seller. And if it, if it worked, can i know that that would be . Yeah, i mean, for the publisher that had been, could be a why can you can 2nd government has coupling vets, youve gone through them. Can them stuck a while there several times over the, from the last what the video to kind of thing. On the 18th of september 1917, there was a meeting of the british war cabinets. The foreign secretary Arthur Balfour was absent the secretary of state for india, edwin montague, who was to wish strongly disagreed with the declaration. He was opposed to zionism. Instead, i denied the palestine is today associated with the jews or properly be regarded as a 5th place for them to live. Montague stopped a french declaration supporting zionism in june. 19. 17 was anti semitic, and negotiated changes to the british version. As it went through several drafts, i see a lot of items i have left them at the, at the bar in the field. I bought the new a back home via the to the who, the and english in the out of the im assuming he ever told. And i last setup i had them in must have been helpful to see a see it and then your hood and you will see me in fig fee. The one. Yeah. And in the got to be really been, ive got to have the quote, the top box, is it on the home she like im like, she will a month ago and she will, will she for thats a whole bunch. Full, see if shell move should numbers for your eyes are fewer things, but your general you didnt come by that. Look, people gonna of a gun was fortunately you dean bill is still damn road. People gonna that the civic . No, its for sure. Well, theres a month of you a few days later, secretary of state for war by counts milner, and the jewish politician, philip magnus, sent a modified version to the cabinets incorporated. Some of montague changes including the cab. Yeah, thats quote. Nothing shall be done. Thats my prejudice. The rights and political status enjoyed by such jews who are fully contented with their existing nationality and citizenship. The drafting, especially by lord milner that appeared by september was closer to the language that would eventually be adopted in november of 1917, namely speaking uh, not about palestine as as a whole of but a, some sort of presence in palestine on behalf of the jews of which is quite different kind of came in the lab, but the phone and home on the inside of it and look at or is the nation and whole yeah. Need a lift that if the told me ahead and look at a nation and homo homer and its not partial feet available, hes building why its not as youll see, a lot of them im an old but not the v nation in hong and not but then i think a nation at home. Yeah. And the work im calling leo would the fee for us being the committed scientists wanted to ensure that declaration was clear that the whole of historic palestine would be a National Homeland, exclusively for the jewish people. The, the latest draft was sent to hind weitzman, who in turn sent it to the Zionist Movement in the United States for their feedback. There was some consultation, you know, during the summer of 1917 with the United States and, and the early drafts that uh, had had the imprint of the zion is the uh, elements in britain i would have referred to palestine in its entirety as being for some sort of jewish entity and those elements eventually were modified before the drafting was finalized. Another key part of the terminology, the emotions out at the drafting was in some british redrafting, where instead of for the jewish people, it was written the jewish race. Eventually this was taken out, but i think its very revealing that british officials wanted to use this kind of terminology because of tool. This was how they understood the use of the world as being a racial group when they loaded tremendous power. And also could be in spot all together is one unit behind the course of sine is supported by britain and the allies. Its tracking that the existing era people in the region were not named at all. Theyre simply called the quotes existing non jewish communities in palestine. They werent getting to but so yeah, we have the display domain. So these put is a hops. Ashanti government, oh, think they couldnt. You know, take no ones re the ownership men ball the is i just want to know what needs you know. Good. It was. She read it shows you, you know, fathers are pretty take what kind of a lot. But the by october 1917. The final draft of the ball for declaration was ready, a waiting on the British Government final approval. There was a rumor that germany was about to issue a similar declaration supporting the rights of the jews in palestine. Or when bells are heard, he rushed to get his final draft discussed at the cabinets meeting on the 31st of october, 1917. To me think about the send to news about the declaration. Everyone can see it is 2nd of november 1917. As the moment of the declaration itself, but it was actually agreed to by the british cabinet on the 31st of october. And this was a she usually significant meeting and in the minutes of that meeting about full re its rights. The principal reasons for supporting scientism and highlights its expected propaganda effects amongst jews around the world, particularly in the United States. And in russia. The argument was, was put forward most strongly by lord bell, for at the meeting of october 31st. And what he argued was that issuing this declaration would be extremely helpful for the british in solidifying the support of the United States. And also encountering a propaganda from germany with critical thinking, member about british diplomatic pronouncements is that what one individual says does not represent the views of the government as a whole. And youll find many different points of view among british officials in the years. 19. 171918 in right into the early years of the mandate. But the bench were very clear that they had not promised statehood to design this movement. They had no interest in doing so. The british did not support Jewish Nationalism. They did not support air of nationalism, they supported british imperialism. But this is also the main thing with the test and who was a member of the war cabinet . Disquiet about the possible effects of supporting sign is on the pedestal in our population, and the post in a position is completely disregarded. Lord cruz and wrote a paper to the cabinet asking what was quotes to become of the people of this country. They were over half a 1000000 syrian arabs, a mixed community with the arab hebrew, canaanite, greek egyptian, and possibly crusade is blog. They in the full fathers of occupied the country for the best part of 1500 years. They own the soil, they profess them a didnt face. They will not be content data to be expropriated for jewish immigrants, all to act merely as he was of wood and draws of little touch of atlanta. But his press, the inter remarks fell on deaf ears. It sykes and tells how he bites. Man, at the end of the war cabinets meeting. Dr. Weitzman, its a boy, as though they witnessed the birth of an agreement to create a Jewish National home as a baby in the middle east. The final draft of the software declaration was 67 words long. His majestys government view with favor the establishment in palestine of a National Home for the jewish people and will use the 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. All the rights, some political states has enjoyed by jews in any other country or i should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of design as to by duration. Youll sincerely alpha james ball for the full in terms of International Law. It really has very little standing in International Law. Know treaties between nations have significance of but the governments often issue policy statements, statements of intention about what they plan to do. And those really dont have any standing as a, as a matter of, of law for brittany, this was a, i suppose you would say a statement of its intention as to what it would do if it were to take over bela stein, which of course it had not yet done as of november 1917 as critical. Right. Cuz i could always thought, so let me stop this stuff. Sure. J. J. C. And those are for those to come in. Shouldnt be done. Yeah. You should got. So whats it to be soto, vic of over your mind . So stressed out who should i put the adult you show. Yeah, i feel like thats the only 2 years doctor, the declaration, a Church Leader in jerusalem wrote to british Prime Minister lloyd george about jews and palestine, trying to control the sites. Lloyd georgias office had said that time vitamin didnt want to do anything affecting the rights of arabs. It said he simply wanted to be involved in a council to help provide refuge to jews, lee and russia in eastern europe. This exchange suggested that britain felt that had not promised a jewish state, but simply a place for them to live alongside error. When the league of nations took out the british mandate and palestine in 1923, its meet britain responsible for implementing the ball for declaration. As a result, jewish immigration to palestine increased as the error of opposition to its expressed in a series of palestinian protests against britain. In the 1920s they understood the people, the palestine, to be muslims and christians, but did not imagine that they would constitute a National Community that would seek National Independence and of to the war. Very quickly, when it becomes clear, the power steering Arab Nationalist and mobilizing against science and the British Government. A quick to see a major problem. The Balfour Declaration had put in train a series of events that began to signal its deep flaws. Era the distance built to the 3 you revolts between 19361939. It was a nationalist uprising against the british administration, demanding arabic independence, and the end of jewish immigration. It was an appeal commission of 1937 that the british 1st recognized that instead of balancing communities, they had set in motion. A rivalry between incompatible national movements, jewish published in error. And it was at that point that they tried to solve the problem by dividing call this time into 2 states, aero, been jewish to a partition plan. And i think there you have the 1st recognition or admission from british officials or the failure of the Balfour Declaration. In may. 1939, the British Government published a policy document on palestine called a white paper. Its abandoned to partitioning of palestine into 2 states. And called instead for an independent palestine in which arabs and jews would share a government. Its limited jewish immigration to 75000 for 5 years and said that the era majority should determine future and the question levels. Its also said that the ball 4 had not meant to create a jewish state at the expense of the arabs any more than the mcmullin sustained correspondence 24 years before had promised an air of state to should we proceed in of america. But the white paper met the opposition and was dropped the, the British Government a quick to see a major problem. But theres no way that they can back to away from simple designs. And because this becomes the basis for that justification for being in the holding that the commitment to supporting the movement in the past, the declaration which becomes enshrined in International Law in the times of the mandate for palestine. So the british just stuck with sinus and they didnt believe the sign is wanted independent jewish state codes. And obviously what became very clear that actually the vast majority scientists didnt only want statehood. They expect to be. I think if were trying to assess whether or not bridges policy to assign isnt in the 1st well, well set british interest on the 1st thing we have to appreciate is the key reason that they supported scientism was based on an incorrect idea. They believe that they could mobilize something that they saw a jewish power around the world behind the online course. So 1st of all, that was entirely room and didnt happen because this idea of jewish power is freight is false. In september 1939 german expansionism led to the 2nd world war. Over 60000000 people died including between 5 and 6000000 jews. The majority in nazi concentration camps. The british mandates ended at midnight on the 14th of may 1948 and immediately the formation of the state of israel was announced justified by the terms of the ball for declaration issued 31 years before while as really celebrated the birth of their nation 700000 palestinians were forced into camps an exile or family of the comedy not to sled. And because its the only other way of like, completely done. Yeah. You know, so like come for palestinians develop for the coloration. Represents the moments and imperial power promise their land a way to another people.
