The definition of genocide under the Geneva convention includes displaying a population, not to mention murdering them and establishing an apartheid state. The Balfour declaration was the first step in the colonisation of Palestine after WW1. This gradually led to expanded settlements, resistance from Palestinians, forced military rule of Israel and an Apartheid, second class citizen life for Palestinians. If you look at the map since the establishment of Israel, their territory has grown to the majority of the land of Palestine through these gradually expanding, military enforced settlements resulting in decades of war crimes and contraventions of the United Nations and the Geneva convention. If Russia were to do in Ukraine or China to Taiwan what Israel is doing to Palestinians, everyone would be in your face about it. Many will disagree with this perspective, and I invite them to join in intelligent conversation.

do a little more digging and you will find Balfour was an Englishman. Jews had a home. It was Europe. The English made them leave and turn into refugees long before WW2. But the English did that to the whole world, so no surprises there... This gave them access to the sea ports for commercial trade as long as they support Israel. Here we are today, not much has changed...
