“the Balfour declaration was not agreed upon (insert italics) by the people who lived in eretz yisroel, and their suroundings,”

Why is that necessary? I was under the impression that halacha recognizes conquest as creating ownership. The British conquered Palestine from the Ottoman’s it was theirs not the inhabitant’s and certainly not the neighbors (not sure why that would even enter the equation) ?

“They were mesalek themselves from the whole issue,”
Not exactly, they handed the “question of Palestine” to the U.N. Now the U.N gets to decide. The U.N voted to create a Jewish State
