Now that is essentially all it said and you can judge by these words that they were very vague. It didnt say what kind of homeland. It didnt promise a separate independent political state. It didnt say how many Jews. It just said the establishment of a Jewish homeland In Palestine. That letter has been argued over ever since then. The British put one interpretation on it. The Jews put another. The Arabs put another. And yet. of course. the Balfour declaration was. in a sense. the basis of the public commitment to aid this immigration from World War I on.
