A Formal Rebuttal to the Balfour Declaration
2 November 2025
To the Offices of His Majesty's Government,
The following declaration of dissent is hereby submitted.
The Balfour Declaration is a profane, secular edict. Its pledge of a 'national home' constitutes a theological deception, substituting political Zionism for divine covenant. This usurpation of eschatological promise through statecraft transgresses divine law, which commands justice for the stranger. It enshrines a particularist sovereignty, elevating a political act to a false soteriology and betraying both Torah and resident.
This rebuttal is formally attested.

Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour
