The problem is that the "facts" are untrue or misleading. The Balfour Declaration is not a legal document. But, if you want to adhere to it, then you should note this part, which was never honored: " it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" In 1947, in an grand effort to appease the Arabs, the Jews in Israel accept further reduction Well, this is a clever way of wording it. The Jews owned 6% of the land and received 55% of it. How generous of them accept this "reduction"! In 1947, in an grand effort to appease the Arabs, the Jews in Israel accept further reduction, and accept the UN 1947 partition, resulting in 75% of the land for the future Jewish state being, desert. Another intentional deception. The "desert" is not exactly the Sahara. A large part of it is highly cultivable, only needing irrigation. Apparently, the Zionists did not share your contempt for the Negev when they demanded possession of it in 1919. ahram.org.eg Tom
