Abstract This paper explores the impact the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and how it influences and endangers the Palestinian-Israel conflict. The author takes the reader on an exploratory look at the declaration as well as current problems that declaration is creating.
From the Paper "The history behind the Israel ? Palestinian conflict is long and complicated however there are several things that become more obvious as time goes on. One of the problems in the conflict that cannot be denied is the impact that the Balfour Declaration has on the situation today. In Daniel R. Brower?s, The World in the Twentieth Century From Empires to Nations Fifth Edition the detailed examination of the conflict makes the reader understand how the Balfour Declaration virtually ties the hands of the Palestinian participants with no obvious compromise or solution."
