Abstract
- The article deals with the Balfour Declaration of the British government in 1917, which supported the Zionist plan to create a national home for the Jews in Palestine. Zionists living in England supported the declaration and they embarked on massive campaign to popularize the idea of a British Palestine. But the declaration has coincided with the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in Russia which raised the concern of the British government that they might conclude a separate peace. The British government was worried that it would nullify the economic blockade of Germany.
