The Balfour declaration that stated the intention to create a homeland for the Jews in Palestine also stated the intention to create a homeland for the Kurds.
But the traditional homeland of the Kurds is the region of Iraq, Iran and Turkey that sits on oil, and noboby wants to give up the oil.
If there was a couple of billion barrels of oil under the land where Israel not sits, there would not be an Israel.
The Great Game is all about the oil, and the way it's played, the dispossessed don't end up with the oil.
