Okay, this is a lot of weird conspriacy shit, and frankly, I don't know what to do with it, but here goes.
Okay, going off on this weird tangent that one Jew invented something once, the Stabbed in the Back Myth (Or in German, Dolchstoßlegende) had a lot more to do with the lies told by the German Military that they were really winning the war until the German Army was stabbed in the back by the November Revolution.

It was, of course, utter Bullshit. Germany was exhausted and starving at that point, the last major offensive had failed and Germany was simply out of time as American men and materials were flooding France. But like we saw after Vietnam, and we are starting to see now with Afghanistan, these kinds of lies are comforting.
Okay, but the point was, Zimmerman REALLY did try to encourage Mexico to go to war with the US. Germany was also resuming unrestricted submarine warfare on US Shipping after they promised they wouldn't. This is what nudged America away from neutrality and into the war, not "the Jews".
Actually, the Balfour Declaration made perfect sense in context.
First, after the February Revolution in Russia, keeping Russia in the war was a priority... and it was felt the Balfour declaration would keep the Jewish Revolutionaries in Russia in the war. It didn't work, the Bolsheviks then had their revolution in November and got Russia out of the war.
The British also saw resettlement of Jews in Palestine as a way to do colonialism by proxie. The British Empire had LONG been built on the concepts of playing tribes off against each other, especially in the Middle East and India.
No, there was absolutely no reason for the German military to makeup lies about Jews.
There were hundreds of thousands of Jews in the German army in both wars, so the German military never would make up lies that would harm their own forces.
The reason the Germans were exhausted and starving was because of the US entering the war and US submarines conducting unrestricted sinking of civilian German food shipments.
The Germans never conducted unrestricted submarine warfare, but only sank shipping within the designated war zone around the British Isles.
The HMS Lusitania was carrying weapons and munitions, and the Germans took out newspaper ads warning it was going to be sunk.

Yes the Zimmerman letter did encourage Mexico. But the point is the US would never have known about the Zimmerman Letter if not for SOMEONE stealing a copy from Berlin. And while we will never know who did it, there were thousands of Jews working in secure facilities in Berlin.
The Balfour Declaration made no sense to try to keep Russia in the war.
The Russian Jews are Ashkenazi and are not from the Mideast at all, nor would it have kept Russia in the war if Russian Jews started emigrating to Palestine.
Jews were treated badly by Russia and Lenin and Stalin did not at all treat Jews well.
Nor does British colonialism explain the Balfour Declaration.
The British were far more anti-Jewish than the Germans were.
At one time the British had banned Jews entirely.
The British lost hundreds of their soldiers to the Zionists in Palestine, and finally left after Menachem Begin blew up the King David Hotel, murdering the British peacekeeper high command.
It was the Jews who forced the British to leave.
The Arabs had no problem with British administration, and wanted the British to stay.
