I don't think it was for Turkey,America or Britain or any other country to make agreements over the heads of the Palestinian people.

The Balfour Declaration of 1917 was a British imperialist declaration which supported Zionist settlement of Palestine and at the same time Zionist acceptance of British control of Palestine.

At the end of the First World War there were about 56000 Jews in Palestine and around a million Palestinians .It was never a land without a people!
.
The Balfour Declaration and the accelerated Zionist immigration into the Palestinian homeland inevitably soured relationships between the two communities.

From the very start the Zionist leadership set out to exclude the Palestinians from as many areas of life as possible... land ownership, business,undustry,trade unions etc.
Kibbutzes were built on land that had been Palestinian for a thousand years.

A terrible injustice has been done to the Palestinian people and a Free Palestiniae remains a legitimate goal .
