Jewish homeland in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration of November 1917 promised to establish a Jewish home (not homeland) in Palestine.
British support in establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
It was never Britain's decision to create a Jewish homeland in the territory referred to as Palestine. The League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, created the mandate and gave it to Britain to administer. Britain then violated its mandate by giving 80% of the land set out to be the Jewish homeland to the Arabs.
Israel is considered the national homeland for the Jewish people and inherited this title from the Mandate for Palestine (which stated in Article 6 that the land was a Jewish National Homeland).
Answer this question… The British supported a Jewish homeland in Palestine despite an earlier promise to grant Arabs in the colony independence.
The document in question is the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
