To be honest your hot-take on Balfour suggests to me that you really don’t understand exactly what Balfour’s understanding of Zionism meant in terms of British foreign policy and how that affected the way Arabs responded to the proposed two-state solution in 1947-48. NB, the declaration itself is an inadequate basis for understanding. Feel free to Google his later clarification and get back to me.

None of what you've said negates my starting point. But, more positively, forum members who want to know the preceding history now have it from you.
