Why is the Balfour Declaration a main point in your argument? It could have not happen and yet Jews would still have been desperate to find a state of their own. I am not sure how it relates to anything besides it being a piccant topic (a powerful banker!)

The Balfour Declaration is the foundation of Israel, of course it should be the main point of any discussion of the region.
