Continuing Contentions of the Existence of Israel - Balfour Declaration Set in Motion Circumstances No One Can Deny

The Balfour Declaration did nothing that was not part of the destiny of the Middle East that was not already in motion; except to disrupt the supposed status quo of a failing Ottoman empire, already in trouble for adopting alliances that had no chance of effecting any outcome in which the Turkish influences of the Middle East would be vanquished and Attaturk would secularize the resultant country. Independent of that, the basis for the later reestablishment of the nation of Israel was already forming and even with the interference in history of the Nationalist Socialist movement in Germany, all of it was predetermined to occur and bring Israel back to natinal life. The 'Palestinian' saga exists merely for the reason to circumvent the destiny of Israel, which if there was validity for doing so, why is it apparently coming up impossible to do?
Even at that, the wartime conditions now being implemented, first in the Ukraine and eventually moving towards hooking up with the Russian, Syrian, Turkish and Iranian Islamic Regme's debacle in the Middle East. to eventually move into the Golan by proxy, will tell of a postscript that the Balfour Declaration did not write, but the argument could be made that it was, in fact, the precursor nobody could ever have imagined was set in motion and the world is in no condition now to stop any of the following circumstances.
