Einat Wilf's Perspective

The gist of Einat's perspective is as follows:

• The Balfour Declaration was a tentative promise / declaration of intent
• It was the follow up by Zionists that made the difference, and the declaration itself was almost meaningless on its own
• The British Empire actually started reneging on promises, and they did so at the worst timing possible for Jews
