		Today, a half-century later, these same issues are causing an increasing polarization of Israeli society, with uncertain ramifications for the future.

	Howard Grief: Legal Rights and Title of Sovereignty of the Jewish People
		On the contrary, Palestine and the Jewish National Home were synonymous terms, as is evidenced by the use of the same phrase in the second half of the Balfour Declaration which refers to the existing non-Jewish communities "in Palestine", clearly indicating the whole country.
		The term “Jewish National Home” was defined to mean a state by the British government at the Cabinet session which approved the Balfour Declaration on October 31, 1917.
		The gravest threat to Jewish legal rights and title of sovereignty over the Land of Israel still comes from the same source that has always fought the return of the Jews to their homeland, namely, the medley of Arabic-speaking Gentiles who inhabit the land alongside the Jews.

		This pernicious myth re-surfaces in every debate, article and diplomatic initiative on how best to make an unnecessary peace with the transplanted Arabs, intruders into the Jewish National Home, who principally inhabit the regions of Judea, Samaria and Gaza which they falsely claim to be their ancient homeland.
