Did the Balfour declaration have anything to do with Germany hating on Jews so much in WWII?

Britain supporting Jews into Palestine sounds like something that would create a Nazi Germany and their 2nd world war with Britain, considering they were enemies from WWI. If I missed any facts, please do tell me!

I've seen no evidence or indication that this is at all the case. While it's very true that the Nazi party did not support the idea of a Jewish state, they also did not view the expulsion/deportation of Jews out of Europe as a necessarily bad thing, prior to WWII breaking out. To read more about this, you can check out this megathread.

The Nazi hate for Jews did not come out of some opposition to British policies. Rather, it stemmed from far deeper anti-Semitic thoughts and conspiracy theories, which have been elaborated on in this answer by /u/commiespaceinvader, who will no doubt correct me if I've made any mistakes in this response :).
