The Jewish state is a fact of life

I would point out that Mr Bullinger’s thoughts on the matter are irrelevant, as Israel is already a Jewish State, whatever he or anybody else might think.
In 1917 the British government issued the “Balfour Declaration” indicating: “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.”
The Balfour Declaration was reconfirmed by the San Remo Conference in 1920, which decided on April 24 1920 to assign the Mandate for Palestine under the League of Nations to Britain. The terms of the Mandate were also discussed with the United States, which was not a member of the League.
With the founding of the League of Nations and the approval of the British Mandate in Palestine, an agreed text was confirmed by the Council of the League of Nations on July 24 1922 and came into operation in September 1923: “Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people....”
We may thus deduce that the British Mandate of Palestine and subsequently the State of Israel has been recognised by the world as a national home for the Jewish people since 1917, confirming the permanence of an uninterrupted Jewish presence within these boundaries for the past 3,000 years.
