The Balfour Declaration is a great place to start, here’s the Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration

That was written after WW1 began. The link and population I provided were from pre-WW1.

So no, it's not a good place to start.

"around WWI" does not mean pre-WWI, just around that time. And 1917 is definitely around WWI.

Ok. You're right about that.

But the link to the Balfour is about what Britain did, not Jewish people.

Do you have any links verifying your statement that Jewish people were practicing apartheid during WW1?

Sorry, I should have been more clear; the actual apartheid started with the creation of the state of Israel (of course). The unrest, suppression, stealing of land and property, and discrimination of people started way before.

That was not the discussion, the point of discussion was “before or after 1948”.
