🌱 An 80-Year-Old Tumor, Conceived with Just 67 Words

While the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 carved up the Ottoman Empire, it was the Balfour Declaration in 1917—a mere 67-word letter—that planted the direct seed for what would become Israel.

The declaration, addressed to Lionel Walter Rothschild for the Zionist Federation, stated:

"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people..."

This single document, backed by British imperial power, set in motion a colonial project that would displace millions and destabilize the region for over a century.

🎭 The Irony of Balfour

Ironically, Arthur James Balfour himself initially opposed Jewish settlement anywhere for state formation. He once supported laws restricting Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigration to Britain (1903-1905), earning criticism from Zionist circles.

Yet, he later justified Zionism by stating:

"Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, in future hopes, of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land."

---

⚔️ The Machinery of Implementation

Immediately after the declaration, the British Foreign Office established a special department to promote Zionist aims, led by veteran Zionist propagandist Albert Hyamson.

With the occupation of Jerusalem in December 1917, this propaganda machinery intensified. Simultaneously, the Jewish Legion—a military unit of Jewish volunteers in the British Army—grew in numbers. This legion later formed the core of Zionist militias that terrorized even the British, eventually becoming the foundation of Mossad and the Israeli Army.

🔮 The Foreseeable Tragedy

What followed was a structured process:

· Establishment of the Jewish National Fund to purchase land
· Creation of Kibbutzim as fortified settlements
· Systematic military organization under British oversight

The British Empire, having drawn the maps with Sykes-Picot, now provided the political cover and military infrastructure for a state that would serve as its lasting footprint in the Middle East.

📜 The Document That Redrew History

On November 2, 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour signed a 67-word letter to Lionel Walter Rothschild that would alter the destiny of the Middle East:

"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people... it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine..."

This document, known as the Balfour Declaration, granted international legitimacy to the Zionist project while paying lip service to the rights of the indigenous Palestinian population.

🤝 The Unholy Alliance: Zionism & British Imperialism

The declaration was the product of a 20-year process beginning with the First Zionist Congress in Basel (1897), where Zionist leaders used their financial, political, and diplomatic leverage to advance their agenda.

Key figures in this alliance:

· Chaim Weizmann: The chemist who became Zionism's chief diplomat
· Lord Rothschild: Representing Jewish financial interests
· David Lloyd George: British Prime Minister who saw Palestine as a strategic prize

As historian David Hirst noted: "It is difficult to find any document that has arbitrarily changed the course of history like this one."

🎭 The Contradictions of Balfour

Ironically, Balfour himself had previously supported laws restricting Jewish immigration to Britain (1903-1905) and expressed anti-Jewish sentiments. Yet he justified the declaration by stating:

"Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, in future hopes, of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land."

🌍 International Reactions & Manipulations

In the United States:
President Woodrow Wilson was initially skeptical,but Zionist lobbyist Louis Brandeis (later Supreme Court Justice) used his influence after allegedly helping cover up a Wilson scandal.

In the Arab World:
Britain tried to conceal the declaration from Arab leaders.When news broke, they sent D.G. Hogarth to reassure Sharif Hussein that Jewish settlement wouldn't harm Arab independence—a blatant deception.

Within Jewish Communities:
Many prominent Jews opposed Zionism,including Edwin Montagu, the only Jewish member of the British Cabinet, who called it "a mischievous political creed."

---

⚖️ Legal Invalidity & Historical Injustice

The declaration was fundamentally illegitimate because:

1. Britain had no sovereignty over Palestine when issuing it
2. It violated Britain's previous promises to Arab leaders
3. It ignored the will of 90% of Palestine's population
4. It contradicted the principle of self-determination

As one critic noted: "One nation officially promised the territory of a second nation to a third."

🇮🇷 The Iranian Connection

The Balfour Declaration had significant repercussions in Iran:

· Alliance Schools established footholds for Zionist organizing
· Zionist associations formed in major cities
· Mass migration of Iranian Jews to Palestine began
· The Qajar dynasty's weakness allowed foreign interference to flourish

🔚 Legacy: A Century of Conflict

The Balfour Declaration planted a time bomb that continues to explode decades later. While Theresa May celebrated its centenary in 2017, for Palestinians it remains the foundational document of their ongoing Nakba.

What Britain gave away in 67 words, generations have paid for in blood—proving that imperial arrogance can indeed rewrite history, but cannot dictate its ultimate outcome.

✡️ The Collaboration Between 'Abdu'l-Bahá and the Zionists

https://t.me/jscenter/21382

Following World War I and the beginning of British rule over Palestine, 'Abdu'l-Bahá established a close relationship with Sir Herbert Samuel, the Jewish High Commissioner.

This collaboration was so significant that Britain awarded him the Knight of the Order of the British Empire, and he became known as Sir Abbas Effendi.

Samuel, a prominent Zionist activist, supported 'Abdu'l-Bahá during his governance of Palestine. This alliance helped strengthen the position of both the Bahá'í Faith and Jewish settlers in the region.

These collaborations indicate that 'Abdu'l-Bahá was not only seeking to spread the Bahá'í faith but was also actively working with foreign powers to secure his own and his community's position.

Historical reports and documents reveal that years before the establishment of the State of Israel, 'Abdu'l-Bahá had been cooperating with Jewish immigrants and Zionists, playing a key role in facilitating Jewish migration to Palestine.

His actions can be seen as part of broader efforts to establish Jewish footholds in the region. His cooperation with Britain also highlights his deep ties to foreign powers and his attempts to legitimize the Bahá'í position.

📍 The famous and beautifully manicured Bahá'í Gardens in Haifa—often presented as a tourist attraction—along with significant land holdings the Bahá'ís historically held in the Haifa area, became part of this story. Research indicates that land transactions occurred between Bahá'ís and Jews before the establishment of Israel under the British Mandate, where Jews purchased land from Bahá'ís for construction and settlement.
