Poor Vinnie. Reality never gets in his way.
Vinnie thinks his loathing for the English (and Bush) and his
unthinking reaction when talking about either aren't 'facts' and
that noticing them is 'abuse'.
Again a fine example of Bush logic Clearly at the 99th percentile

And so does the historical record. Germany had bugger all to do
with "the Jews getting a Homeland", since such was proposed LONG
before.
My goodness what ignorance
Germany was involved in a war with England and its ally was the
Ottoman empire. England expected to take Palestine from Germany's
ally, in the same way France expected to get territory directly
from Germany etc. The promise was made to thank the Zionists for
their support of the English war effort against the Germans

Chaim Weizmann
born Nov. 27, 1874, Motol, Pol., Russian Empire
died Nov. 9, 1952, Reovot, Israel
Russian-born Israeli chemist and first president of Israel (1949–52).
After studying in Germany and Switzerland, he earned a doctorate in
chemistry and patented several dyestuffs before moving to England to
teach in 1904. His 1912 discovery of a bacterium that could convert
carbohydrate to acetone proved of great value to the British armaments
industry in World War I (1914–18), and in return the government aided
his negotiations for the Balfour Declaration (1917).
1916 - The secret Sykes-Picot Agreement was signed May 16 carving up
the Mideast between England and France. Weizmann had been influential in
the diplomacy leading to the agreement, insuring that Palestine would be
internationalized and later become the Zionist state. Many British Jews
opposed transferring national allegiance from Great Britain to Palestine
during wartime. Weizmann therefore urged Great Britain to publicly
support Palestine, and his greatest achievement in the Zionist movement
was the alliance with the British government that culminated in the 1917
Balfour Declaration.

No Germany, no war, no cordite shortage no Zionist influence
No Balfour declaration
The Jews, mostly from Russia, had been moving into the area since the
1880's buying up land from largely absentee Turkish landlords
and this would have continued anyway. By the time of the annexation
of the area by the British the Jewish populace was already seriously
on the way to becoming a majority. Something which the Arabs were
very worried about - as are most people who are in danger of becoming
outnumbered by an immigrant population. It was the British who
imposed serious limits on further immigration and land purchase.
