P F Tinmore, et al,
I don't make that claim at all (show me where I said that). What I have stated (several times) is that the Arab Palestinians did not have an exclusive right to anything.
(COMMENT)P F Tinmore, et al,
Don't mix apples with oranges.
(COMMENT)Where does it say that the Palestinians were not the "inhabitants" mentioned in the LoN Covenant?
It seems that the citizenship order of 1925 said they were.
The Covenant of the League of Nations is a global policy document.
The 1925 Citizenship Order is a region specific directive.
Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant speaks in generalities.
The Palestine Order in Council, the Mandate for Palestine, and the 1925 Citizenship Order, are very specific in application and intent. There is no mention of the Palestinians in the Covenant. However, under the authority of the Covenant (1919), the Mandate (1922) was written with more specific guidance; and the Citizenship Order (1925) was written under the same authority; but even more specific.
The Mandate specifies the basic objectives. The Citizenship Order applies to all inhabitants of the region; but only in regards to authorizing the granting of Palestine Mandate Citizenship. None of these directives have been countermanded by the later documents that were all subordinate to the Covenant.
Article 22 of the Covenant, does not specifically address any special the Arab Palestinian. And it does not conflict with the League direction and authority issued to the Mandatory.
You are trying to make the Covenant grant something special to Palestine; when in fact it talks in generalities. Only the Orders in Council, the Mandate, and Citizenship Order are directive in nature specific to any one people.
Most Respectfully,
RYou are trying to make the Covenant grant something special to Palestine;
No, you are. Where does it say that everybody has rights except the Palestinians?
I don't try to deprive the Arab Palestinians of any particular right. But I understand that all the rights that the Arab Palestinian claims, are rights that the Jewish People have. And that the intent of the Allied Powers was to establish a Jewish National Home, in whatever form that ultimately would take. And that they put that intent in writing, several times. And that the Hostile Arab Palestinians and the Arab League cannot use force that denies the Jewish People the right to self-determination that was attempting to follow the Steps Preparatory to Independence, recommended by the General Assembly, and reject by the Hostile Arab Palestinians.
Most Respectfully,
RWhat I have stated (several times) is that the Arab Palestinians did not have an exclusive right to anything.
Do you mean like the French do not have exclusive rights to France or the Italians do not have exclusive rights to Italy?
No like the French don't have exclusive rights to Italy, the Syrians have no rights to Palestine. But the Jew do under international law of 1923 that granted them sovereignty over 22% of Palestine, something you don't seem to have yet taken in and studied.
