Palestine was not Balfour’s land to give to the European Jews. Balfour
hated the Jews and believed the best thing for the Christians and the
Jews of Europe was if the Jews were removed from Europe. Here is
Balfour in his own words:
_______________________________________
Zionism as a serious effort to mitigate the age-old miseries created
for western civilization by the presence in its midst of a body which
is too long regarded as alien and even hostile, but which it was
equally unable to expel or absorb. A state of things could easily be
imagined in which it would not be to the advantage of the civilization
of the country that there should be an immense body of persons who,
however patriotic, able, and industrious, however much they threw
themselves into the national life, still, by their own action,
remained a people apart, and not merely held a religion differing from
the vast majority of their fellow-countrymen, but only inter-married
among themselves.
