Furthermore, the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which was the first mention of a Jewish *homeland* was clearly that. A promise of a homeland NOT a State.

Read it here, it is a huge mess of contradiction in its wording.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration_of_1917

The difference between a homeland and a state is?  (The answer is.... a way of not saying state even though that's the goal.)

It even says in your article

The "Balfour Declaration" was later incorporated into the Sèvres peace treaty with Turkey and the Mandate for Palestine.

It's simple what it means.  "Jewish State, however that doesn't mean that it will be allowed that arab people will not have their civil rights taken away while establishing it (won't be forced out.), nor does it mean that Jewish people in other countries will be forced to move to Israel.

 

That is the part that is a contradiction and an impossibility.

Not at all.

Compensating said people is all they'd really need to do to fufill it.  Since they don't really own the land nor were citizens of any state.

Basicially they wouldn't be mistreated whle they were being removed from the land that would later be given to the Jews.
