How did the Balfour Declaration contradict earlier promises made by the Allies?

The British made 2 earlier promises in this regard: 1) 1915: The McHoun-Hussein correspondence promised Arab control of Arab lands. But it is not clear this agreement included "Palestine", as much of the Mediterranean coast was excluded. 2) 1916: UK-France Sykes-Picot Agreement However, the effect of the Balfour Decleration is questionable, anyhow, as many Jews had already been continuously living in Israel for thousands of years (returning after exiles), and many were returning to it throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before the Balfour Declaration. Also, upon pressure from Arabs, the British blocked immigration of Jews to Israel more stringently in 1939, leaving many Jews to die in Europe under Nazi Germany, so the British did not uphold their promise to the Jews when it counted most.
