Obnova Palestine

Abstract

"Balfurova deklaracija, izrečena za vreme Svetskog Rata u ime vlade Velike Britanije, navestila je jevrejskom narodu ostvarenje njegovih najsmelijih snova. I ako je ta izjava bila kratka, i kazivala samo da engleska vlada “gleda blagonaklono na to da se u Palestini osnuje jevrejska domovina", ona je ipak bila prvi i najznačajniji korak ka poznijim odlukama savezničkih sila..."

"Balfour's declaration, made during the World War on behalf of the British government, marked the realization of his wildest dreams for the Jewish people. Even if that statement was short, and said only that the British government "looks favourably on the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine", it was nevertheless the first and most important step toward later decisions by Allied forces.
