How Dare Israel Declare Itself 'Jewish'

The new Israel Nation State Law is taking hits because it has declared Israel 'Jewish'.

Well...


1.

"national home for the Jewish people"

Balfour Declaration, November 2, 1917

(Balfour was not Jewish)


2.

"The Arab State and Palestine in all their relations and undertakings shall be controlled by the most cordial goodwill and understanding, and to this end Arab and Jewish duly accredited agents shall be established and maintained in the respective territories."

Agreement between Emir Feisal Ibn al-Hussein al-Hashemi, and the President of the World Zionist Organization, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, January 3, 1919

(Feisal was not Jewish but a Muslim Arab. Weizmann was Jewish)


3.

 "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people"

(none of the Allied Powers representatives were Jewish)


4.

"recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country"

(none of the voting delegates, as far as I know, were Jewish)


5.

"The High Commissioner shall be guided by the statement of British policy in Palestine presented to Parliament by Our Command on the 1st day of July, 1922. While ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, he shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage close settlement by Jews on the land,
