It was no accident that the declaration contains the phrase "in Palestine" rather than "of Palestine", nor was it an accident that the foreign office would use the words "national home" rather than the more precise "state" – in spite of the fact that "national home" has no precedent or standing in international law.
Non foi accidental que a declaración conteña a frase ‹en Palestina› en lugar de ‹de Palestina›, tampouco foi un accidente que o foreign office empregara as palabras ‹fogar nacional› en lugar do máis preciso ‹estado› – a pesar do feito de que ‹fogar nacional› non tiña precedente ou vixencia no dereito internacional.
