What a pile of excrement! Your selective memory of how history unfolds is hilarious. The Balfour Agreement wasn't worth the paper it was written on. The arabs were openly violating it before it was finalized.

So the mess in the Middle East is really the fault of the UK. Okay, thanks for finally admitting it. Now that we're doing what we can to untangle the maze of colossal ignorance imposed by the Imperial "wisdom" of Lord Balfour you have the gall to comment on our failure before it's even done?
That failed policy was inflicted on us over 80 years ago. We've been working our plan to fix it for six years. Come back and post your inanities in 80 years. Until then, you're just part of the din that doesn't understand nor cares to try. If it indeed turns out successfully, I have little faith that you'll be around to accept the fact that you were wrong in the first place.
