From your explanation, the Palestinians were a hodge podge of feudal tribes, much like the Afghanis. Except the Afghanis didn't demand and expect a wetnurse to raise them.RoccoR said:As far back as the Mandate, the Arab-Palestine was recognized as not having demonstrated that it was a people who could stand alone. In many respect, nearly 9 decades later, they still have not demonstrated that they can stand on their own.
"Certain communities formerly belonging to the Turkish Empire have reached a stage of development where their existence as independent nations can be provisionally recognized subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance by a Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory."
Of course that is not true.
Palestine already had a functioning society with many different religious and charitable institutions.
They already had functioning local governments.
They already had a functioning economy that included international trade.
What they lacked most were national institutions like executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The mandate was supposed to assist the Palestinians in developing these institutions. After 25 years of mandate, Britain made no effort to create independent Palestinian institutions. Not only that, Britain trampled every effort by the Palestinians to do so themselves.
