dear netgeek,
 pls dont take this as any personal attack on you or your Finds but below is one of my attempt to show the acctual fact. My Soruce is U.N website. Pls let me know if u find it to be false from any other source.If you really want to clear your misconceptions about this Israel/Palestine conflict i would suggest you to pls Reffer to the U.N Website. It has got all the details and also the U.N resolutions. I find it funny because U.S.A is the Head of U.N they have Written everything on thier website and clearly most of it shows that many times Israel Broke the U.N resolutions still U.S.A is supporting Israel now thats where the confusion lies. Maybe that is the reason Why people of palestine Hate U.S.A because even after knowing the problems in brief the U.S.A (head of U.N) is turning a blind eye and deaf ear to thier pleads and supporting Israel.

Bye,
Azim.b
What Mr Cherian Wrote
(##Truth: The first Jewish Aliya took place during 1882 under Ottoman rule, 15 years prior to the time when the term "Zionism" was first coined. Migrants were Russian
> Jews or Jews of Pale escaping the anti-Semitic pogroms under Czarist Russia. Zionist movement only started in 1897 by Theodore Herzl , the motive being the
> arrest and imprisonment of French Jew Alfred Dreyfuss in Paris, charged with treason. So any claim that Jewish Aliya was a Zionist conspiracy is nothing but travesty of facts.)

"Foreign Office, 
2 November 1917 

"Dear Lord Rothschild, 

I have much pleasure in conveying to you on behalf of His Majestys Government the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to and approved by the Cabinet: 

His Majestys Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this 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. 

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. 


Yours sincerely, 
Arthur James Balfour"
