Undoubtedly. Ben-Gurion gave no consideration to the Palestinians' interests, either, although he did admit in his diary that there was no way the Jewish immigrants would be able to establish the country they planned without marginalizing them. Balfour must have had that awareness, and, frankly, the Zionist movement at the time never exhibited any formal planning to make arrangements for any sort of peaceful co-existence. In my understanding no such plan has ever been presented to the present. All the "peace" deals offered the Palestinians dating to the Mandate Plan were nothing any self-respecting Palestinian representative or negotiator could possibly agree to.
Thanks for your clear-eyed and knowledgeable posts on this latest horrendous violence and mayhem.
