“a colonial war waged against the indigenous population, by a variety of parties, to force them to relinquish their homeland to another people against their will.”

“Significantly, the overwhelming Arab majority of the population (around 94 percent at that time) went unmentioned by Balfour, except in a backhanded way as the “existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.â€� They were described in terms of what they were not, and certainly not as a nation or a people—the words “Palestinianâ€� and “Arabâ€� do not appear in the sixty-seven words of the declaration. This overwhelming majority of the population was promised only “civil and religious rights,â€� not political or national rights. By way of contrast, Balfour ascribed national rights to what he called “the Jewish people,â€� who in 1917 were a tiny minorityâ€�6 percent—of the country’s inhabitants.”
