Except for the fact Palestine existed way before the Balfour declaration. All they did was randomly make a declaration historically and boom people can just randomly immigrate to there never mind the people already living in that area, screw them, Also you said most persecuted people.

The territory was lost in WW2 when they were part of the Nazi-sided Ottomans, and that new territory was granted to the Jews to make up for all the harm that was caused by the Axis. Just as Israel was taken from the Jews millenia ago, Palestine was taken from the Palestinians back then. If Palestine has a legitimate claim to the region, then so did the United Kingdom, and so had every right to give it back to the Jews.
