Read this quote from the Balfour Declaration of 1917, then answer the question: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of the object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious' rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." --excerpt from the Balfour Declaration, 1917 Public Domain What does this excerpt from the Balfour Declaration argue for?
A. A disregard for the rights of Palestinians
B. Protecting Jews from the Palestinians
C. The creation of a Jewish state in Palestine
D. Granting citizenship rights to Palestinians

This passage of 1917 precedes the establishment of the state of Israel, constituted on May 14, 1948. Balfour was concerned with the historic Arab-Israeli conflict that has lasted for a long time. Both people consider Jerusalem a holy city and claim it as their capital.

The creation of the state of Israel did not pacify the conflict, as Palestinians did not agree to the UN resolution. This is a tense issue of international geopolitics to be resolved.
