The idea that Zionists dictated the declaration to Balfour is absurd
but even if it weren’t, your claim that “No. There is nothing there.” is obviously wrong.
Jewish immigrants found empty trash land and cultivated it.
To understand how empty the land really was,
travelling around the countryside, even today,
with a population over ten times as big, would be a big help.
Just get away from Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem, and look out the window.
Even Gaza and the West Bank have more empty, unused land
than you would guess from thousands of miles away.
