irosie91, et al,
Well, actually, our friend "PF Tinmore" is correct here. The Treaty of Sèvres is void. It was with the Ottoman Empire which disolved. It was not implemented at the time of the collapse. Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) took power and disowned the treaty. It might as well had never been written.

Whatever the decision of the General Assembly regarding the admission of Israel, it would not change the verdict of history. The record would always reveal the true facts. The League of Nations and later the United Nations had sanctioned the invasion of Palestine by immigrants who had set up gangs to terrorize the legitimate inhabitants. They had sanctioned aggression against an innocent people, disappointed their natural aspirations and violated their inherent rights. The United Nations, by admitting Israel, would be offering shelter to a group which had not only imposed its rule by force on the people Palestine, but which had also driven from their homes almost a million of those people. A recent report in the New York Times had revealed that many of those who had attempted to return had been fired at. Finally, the Zionists had not respected the resolutions of the General Assembly and had given no definite assurances that they would do so in the future. They felt that they were absolved of such assurances because under the shield of power politics they would always find excuses and apologies. They had planned to realize their aggressive designs by invoking three pretexts: the establishment of a national home, the solution of the problem of the European displaced persons and the final fait accompli. In view of the historical precedents, tile United Nations must realize that the recognition of accomplished facts meant the sanctioning of aggression and injustice.
Thanks for the link.
Tinnie, I like your moral posts...I too believe that history will record what you say because its true...the Palestinians got screwed because they were defenseless...It is also true that the Jews got screwed by the Romans, and many others that followed...the Diaspora produced a disenfranchised people much like the Palestinians...Many Jews were also disenfranchised of their property and wealth in Islamic countries...History will also not forget these facts...The solution is what was offered 65 years ago by the UN: A two state solution and an internationalized Jerusalem in some kind of UN mandate and that would be Historic Justice.
Maybe, I'm off my rocker, but without a deal like that those two peoples will destroy each other eventually.
