In essence, the Balfour Declaration was issued by the British government at the time handing international acknowledgement to the Zionist movement and thereafter guaranteed them a Jewish state in the Palestine territory. At the time, the Jewish population was increasing at an alarming rate not only in the United States but also in Britain. Therefore, they had come to be a significant player in the World War I. In addition, the British had been under pressure to stop the increasing Jewish population in England.

In particular, the Jewish people situated in Palestine at the time represented approximately 10% of the total populace prior to the Balfour Declaration. This made it permissible for the colossal migration of Jews situated in various parts and expanses across the globe; and, in the end, gave rise to the formation of the State of Israel.

This is largely for the reason that the Jewish people were given straight access to occupy a land that belonged to the Arab people without any consent or deliberation on its impact. In addition, the Arab people were forced to move away from the land.[footnoteRef:3] [3: Schneer, Jonathan. The Balfour Declaration: the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Bond Street Books, 2010.]

This is not always the case. Some may be educated and economically well off, within particular fundamentalist sects, but use an idealistic vision of the past to provide a solution to what they see is lacking in the contemporary world. This was true of the Muslim Brotherhood of 1929, which used religion as part of its ideology of colonial resistance -- and is also true of many of the
