Contrary to contemporary propaganda, the Balfour Declaration didn’t give Palestine to the Jews. It didn’t give anything to anyone. It favoured the idea of a liberated Ottoman colony which had been held by various foreign empires for 2,000 years, becoming an independent Jewish state at the same time as new Arab states were being created in other territories previously held by the defeated Ottomans. Syria, Lebanon, Iraq were created in the same process. An Arab state in Palestine was created in the form of Transjordan (later Jordan) in 1921. A second Arab state in Palestine was offered in 1937 and duly rejected because it would have also meant a Jewish state existing on just 4% of historic Palestine. The Palestinians and their supporters can blame Lord Balfour or they can look in the mirror. https://bird.makeup/@visegrad24/1766128878580314590
