What is the Balfour Declaration? | History of Israel Explained | Unpacked

This week on History of Israel Explained, we’re dissecting one of the most famous documents in Israeli history - the Balfour Declaration - and asking what made this 117-word letter so important and so controversial.
The Declaration was written in 1917 by the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Arthur James Balfour, and sent to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, one of Britain’s most illustrious Jewish citizens. It expressed the British government’s support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
So why did it take another 30 years, until the United Nations passed UN Resolution 181, for a Jewish state to finally be established? Why was the Balfour Declaration so controversial? Why was it written so ambiguously and did the British even have the right to promise the Jews a homeland in British Mandate Palestine?
Drop your reactions to this week’s topic in the comments below and, if you haven’t already done so, watch our video about UN Resolution 181 to understand the events of 1947.

    The first state that signed support of the declaration was Serbia. It was work of a Serbian diplomat captain Dr David Albala, a Sephard and a zionist. Serbian ambassador to US in a letter to Albala marked the first time any government had referred to the yet-to-be-born Jewish state as “Israel,” presaging the name that would be adopted by the nascent republic three decades later. “You know, dear Captain Albala,” he added, “that there is no other nation in the world sympathizing with this plan more than Serbia.”. In closing, Vesnic wrote that, “It will be a sad thing for us to see any of our Jewish fellow-citizens leaving us to return to their promised land, but we shall console ourselves in the hope that they will stand as brothers and leave with us a good part of their hearts and that they will be the strongest tie between free Israel and Serbia.”

    I don’t think you know how indigeneity works, or the long-standing Jewish connection to Israel. Some Jews have lived there ever since. And why would it belong to migrants or to some colonial empire or to descendants of colonialist empires who took it over? Also why can’t Jews buy land, move back, develop the land, defend the land from attacks, and declare independence from a departing colonial power with the support of the world?

    The Balfour declaration lacked both legitimacy and legality. It was made when Britain had no right, no sovereignty, no mandate over the lands it was speaking about. Besides it did not consult the people living in those lands, whose rights would be infringed by decisions taken by a foreign power. However the declaration in itself was ambiguous for a purpose. The idea behind it was not to give Jews a state, but "a homeland". In fact the article "a" and not "the" was used to underline this. The reason behind this declaration was that Jews who were currently dispossesed due to the pogroms being carried out in Russia, Poland and other Eastern European states would have a land they could emigrate to and become citizens of that state but not to create a state of their own. In fact the whole idea was that Jews would ultimately become citizens if the state of Palestine. This is borne not just by this declaration but also by the imposition of a limited number of Jewish migrants into Palestine. The British did not want the Jews to be so numerous in Palestine, as to become a sizable majority. That things eventually changed was due to a number of factors. One was the original idea of the Zionists to take over Palestine and revive the old Jewish state, an idea borne by most if the writings of the fathers of Zionism. Secondly, although the British put a numerus clausus on the number of Jews entering Palestine, many more did emigrate to the land, in a clandestine, illegal way. Thirdly the British finally became tired out especially by the number of Jewish terrorist attacks. So the British washed their hands of the situation so much so that when finally the UN came to vote over the partition of Palestine (for which many countries were forcibly made to vote favourably by Jewish interests), it abstained. For the mess that Britain created the Palestinian people have been suffering ever since.

    The Balfour declaration was adopted by the international community after the end of WW1 in the form of the League of Nations. So the international community certainly thought it had legitimacy. But the Belfour declaration wasn't as important as the San Remo conference of 1920.

    Britain didn't create the Mandate for Palestine after WW1, it was the international community that created the Mandate for Palestine in the form of the League of Nations. You can blame Britain all you want but it was the precursor to the UN called the League of Nations that created the Brith Mandate for Palestine. The sole purpose of said Mandate was to create a Jewish State. Almost all of the countries in the middle easte were created after WW1 using the Mandate system. The League of Nations created almost every country in the middle east, not Just the Mandate for Palestine. The British had administrative authority over Palestine but it was granted by the League of Nations. The whole purpose of the Mandate of Palestine was to create a Jewish State once there was enough Jews in the area, but the Brits sabotaged it's main purpose by restricting Jewish emigration to Palestine to appease local Arabs populations. The Brits have blood on their hands, they restricted Jewish immigration to Palestine right before the outbreak of WW2. They were responsible for the death of Jews fleeing the Nazis, they turned the boats around and sent them back to their deaths. The US and Canada did the same thing.

    It should be noted that the Brits tried to creat a country out of Palestine Mandate for the Jews and Arabs living there, even though they had no authority to do so. This offer was begrudgingly accepted by the Jews and refused by the Arabs, as they developed a habit of refusing every offer of statehood that including giving land to Jews or Israel. The Palestinians finally got a state though when Israel withdrew from Gaza strip in 2005. Even though the Palestinians don't acknowledge Gaza is a state, it is. They have there own government, in the form of the terrorist organization of Hamas. They have defined borders. Gaza could thrive if it didn't waste it's resources on fighting Israel. If Hamas declared peace with Israel, and that it was giving up it's war, Gaza could seriously thrive. The Palestinian suffering is mostly self inflicted. After Israel's independence, the Palestinian Arabs never stopped fighting Israel, long before Israel has any control of Gaza of The West Bank. Israel's existence has been the main issue for the Palestinians and for most of the surrounding countries. That is why the PLO called for the liberation of Palestine before Israel controlled West Bank and Gaza. The 1963 PLO charter explicitly stated they didn't claim the West Bank or Gaza for statehood, but it was Israel that needed to be liberated. If the Palestinians wanted peace they could have had a state of their own long before Israel's withdrawal in 2005. They were offered statehood in the 30's, the 40's and in the early 2000's.

    @@rennyskiathitis8178 To your first comment: "The Balfour declaration was adopted by the international community" By international community you mean British and Zionist allies. This is contradictory anyways since you go on to say how it wasn't accepted by Arabs... To the second comment: The League of Nations aka British Allies created other Arab states. So what? That doesn't justify the illegal Balfour Declaration. And your point about how Britain sabotaged the Jewish state proves the illegitimacy of the Declaration. They didn't care about Jews, Zionists are secular anyways. They wanted strategic control over that region. This is still the case with USA's relationship with Israel. to the 3rd comment: "they developed a habit of rejecting any offer of jewish statehood" The Zionists were imposed onto the land, the Arabs rejected it, and war happened. So what's your point? Are Arabs a lower race than Brits and Jews in your view? Why can't they fight for their ideas? You're justifying the existence of Israel with the fact they won some wars. I'd expect that from someone who only makes hypocritical and muddled arguments. Let's say Britain is weak and Saudi Arabia is a nuclear power. If Saudi Arabia declared a Muslim state in England and started moving Muslims in, stealing land from Brits, would you support that? It pretty much has as much religious justification as the secular Zionist movement and would be adopted by a 'league of nations' (the Arab League and the Islamic world, allies to Saudi Arabia as the League of Nations were to Britain).

    My view and only my view about what i have learnt about the Nakba i suggest you research this issue yourself ... It is true that there was a Nakba in Palestine tensions between the two was very high , uprising & social disorder in terrorist tactics from both sides during this period ...... when Israel declared independence the Arab nations had decided to attack Israel .... Israel as part of their independence was to offer Israeli Citizenship to the Arabs residing in the lands known as Palestine .....It was the Arab Nations that had told the Palestinians to move from the lands as they were planning a attack on Israel and they would get the land back after the war for the Arabs and then they could return , but as history shows they were not successful in their invasion ....... this information was from various sources that i had read ,.... best to research yourself to understand the situation at that time .

    @@tasspafitis848 The Nakba came BEFORE Israel declared itself a nation, it was an ethnic cleansing to PREPARE for that declaration. It caused 700,000 Palestinians to flee their homes. It was because of this ethnic cleansing that the surrounding Arab nations attacked Israel, so as you can see, it was Israel that started that war. A war they had been preparing for, for over 70 years, which is why they were able to win it so easily, Israel's military was double that of the combined Arab nations, so of course they won that fight. It wasn't a David or Goliath scenario as Israel usually promulgates. They had been training with help from the British for over 50 years for that fight.. As you said the Palestinian people fled because they weren't part of the war, the war wasn't with the Palestinian people, yet the Zionists still wouldn't let them return when the war Israel started ended, because Zionists had already moved in and stolen the homes of those who fled. Israel has been the instigator, and aggressor in every war since they declared themselves a nation, they even started the 6 day war in the 60s, and even tried to sink the USS Liberty that witnessed their war crimes. They are always the aggressor, and it's always to steal more land, by exterminating the native Palestinians. Do more research then just a skim of edited cliff notes.

    The idea that Balfour’s opinion was that the land of Palestine was more `Jewish’ than anyone else’s claim is the source of this bloody conflict. Of course the Jews think this, but of course the Palestinians don’t. These positions have of course hardened. The fact that this letter has become central to the entire conflict just highlights another instance of how Britain’s influence has caused death and upheaval in lands really nowt to do with them. Lines in the sand. Unravelling this may be impossible. Balfours letter was not a declaration, but an opinion, but the non-Jewish Palestinians are the dispossessed.

    There is a big question mark regarding the origins of European Jews. Why would a people whose ethnicity is closer to their cousins in the middle east I e Arabs migrate to a region of their persecutors (Romans/ Europe) and endure a harsh climate rather than migrate to their cousins who were less hostile to them than Christian Europe. Why would you have more people who claim to be jews in the European continent than there are Jews who were living in the middle east yet the original Jews were more closer in ethnicity, language and culture to the Arabs than to Europeans. Before the creation of Israel jews were living side by side with their Arab cousins without any problems. Infact it was very hard to distinguish between a Jew and an Arab in the middle east unless they tell you personally. It's like saying they're more ethnic Asians in Europe than Asia itself. The population of European Jews seems to outnumber that of Middle Eastern Jews by almost 4 to 1. This is something I have never understood.

    Correction, it was named palestina 4000 years ago prior to the revelation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It was also never called Israel. Israel is another name for Jacob and the Israelites are his descendants. Palestine was under Jewish rule for 200 out of the 4000 years. But yes palestine is the home of all three religions. Also Judaism doesn't condone the injustices committed towards the native Palestinians of genocide, ethnic cleansing, land and home theft, apartheid etc. Zionism is an ideology that's antithetical to Jewish teachings.

    According to Balfour, and Jewish logic anyone, anywhere, at anytime, can invade and conquer Africa, and claim it as their native homeland since humans originated on the plains of Africa. It's an utter nonsense argument to make. But when you are looking for an excuse to steal land, you'll cling onto anything I suppose.

    6:48 wow this really helped me understand things. Since there had been occupation for 2,000 years by various foreign powers who were now exiting, both people groups really had an equal claim on the land. Britain should have established clear borders for a 2 state solution and then enforced it by supporting Israel when they were attacked. OR just created one state of Israel and allowed Arabs to stay and assimilate, since DNA tests show many of them were originally of the Jewish tribes who were forced to convert under the various Arab conquests and occupations. Basically, they could have done a much better exit strategy...

    @ Mrs. Young There are a number of flaws in your reasoning and logic. First of all there had been occupation for much longer than 2000 years. The original land of Canaan had been invaded, conquered and occupied first by the Egyptians, then the Greeks, then the Israelites, the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans up to the Ottomans. The Israelites, as everyone before them and after them had been occupiers even back then, that is more than 2000 years ago. Before they were just nomadic tribes who settled in Canaan and little by little tried, unsuccessfully to take over all the land. So saying that they as oast occupiers if the land had a right to it would logically lead one to say that all past occupiers had an equal right to such a claim. Saying that both people, that is Zionists and Palestinians (whose population was made up of a majority of Muslims, followed by Christians and a minority of Jews, Armenians and Druze) had an equal claim to it is highly incorrect. I said Zionists and not Jews purposely to differentiate between the Palestinian Jews who had lived there for a long time and the recent emigrant Zionist Jews from Europe. When Palestinian Muslims (as well as Christians and all the other minorities, including the indigenous Jewish minority which initially was against the alien Zionists) objected to the Zionist presence, they were not objecting to them not because they were Jews but because they were alien and foreign to the land. When Palestinians were demanding self-determination they were asking for the sovereignty for all the people in the land not just for Muslims. Britain had no power to set boundaries or create states as the UN also had no such power. It is a gross misconception that the UN created the partition of Palestine. It did no such thing because it did not have this power. Such a decision would have against its own charter. What the UN did was give a proposal which had to be accepted by the majority of the people it was going to affect. Such an acceptance obviously would never come, as it never did, as such a plan was unacceptable to the majority of the people. If you care to read all recommendations, all reports etc concerning the division of the land they all ended with the clause, that no decision could be taken without the approval of the majority of the population or that no decision would be take that would prejudice the aspirations for self-determination of the majority or that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of the people. The creation of a Jewish state in Palestinian land did just that. How very rich saying that Britain (or whoever) should have created one state for Israel allowing Arabs to stay and assimilate. Why not a Palestinian state where Jews could stay and assimilate? That would have been fairer don't you think when the majority were in fact Palestinian. Palestinians would definitely have accepted that - a multi-denominational state as it had always been a multi-denominational land. As what actually was meant by the Balfour Declaration, a homeland for Jews within Palestine and not a separate state which would have put the indigenous Palestinians under a foreign jurisdiction. Mentioning DNA - besides some Palestinians being original Jews there are ample DNA/genetic studies which have shown that Palestinians are in fact direct descendants of the original Canaanite people, those same people who had preceded everyone else in this land and its original inhabitants who had never abandoned their land. How perfectly logical and justified it would have been to return the land which had been occupied for millennia to its original and really indigenous people, instead of suggesting that more than half of the land being granted to one of the past occupiers, who had been away from the land for millennia, whose DNA shows that having 80% of their genetic make up as being European took away all claims to being Semitic and indigenous to this land, and who wanted to make the land specifically a Jewish state. So what you suggested would not have made a better exit strategy and one which Britain or anyone else had any power to do as you cannot dispense as you wish when that land isn't yours.

That is Zionism in a nutshell, Jewish sovereignty in their ancestral homeland. That actually is the simplest reason Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah, he didn't liberate Judah from the Romans.

    Judaism is an ethno-religion, very much different than Christianity and Hinduism. You can be born Jewish, and most Jews are. You can also be a secular Jew, therefore it is clearly different than a religion since you don't have to practice Judaism to be a Jew. Also, I'm assuming you are referencing the Khazar theory when you mention Jews being Turks. If this is true why is there no trace of this in the extensive DNA studies done on Ashkanazi Jews? Also if Jews descended from Turkish peoples, why is there no linguistic Turkish element in any Jewish language like Yiddish or Ladino? Before you spout antisemitic nonsense try educating yourself first.

    The main language of Ashkanazi Jews is Germanic, not Turkish. Not only that but there is no element of Turkish in it. There is Hebrew and Aramaic in it though, there is also romance words and Slavic words, but no Turkish. If Jews descended from Turks, there would be at least trace elements in their language. Wherever the Jews traveled it is represented in Yiddish language. The Jews were originally from Judea before being expelled by Rome. Hence the oldest elements are Hebrew and Aramaic. The next oldest elements is from romance languages. This makes sense since the Jews were expelled to the Roman Empire. After the Roman empire collapsed the descendents of the Ashkanazi Jews settled along the Rhine river, where people spoke Germanic languages and that is where Yiddish began to get formed as a Germanic language. When the Jews moved Eastwood to Slavic countries they added Slavic words to Yiddish. There are no Turkish words in Yiddish. There has also also been extensive DNA studies done on Ashkanazi Jews, the largest DNA element that shows up is Italian and Levantine DNA, not Turkish. Stop spreading antisemitic lies.
