You need to read the Mandate.RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
OH, I' m not confusing a damn thing.
◈ IF I say that Jordan had "effective control" (a necessary condition for an Occupation under the Hague Regulation) over the West Bank, THEN you've consistently called that the use of "Military Force" (your "under the Gun" by a foreign power analogy). And under "effective control" you contend that the Arab Palestinians (not party to the conflict) could not freely exercise their self-determination. And THEN you play the "I'm Confused Card."
You equate "effective control" as exclusive meaning "occupation." That would be incorrect. And you equate 'effective control" with military coersion. Your deduction is that the Arab Palestinian cannot execute "self-determination" if they are under "effective control."
◈ IF I say that Jordan established sovereignty over the West Bank, THEN you'll claim that the Arab Palestinians were coerced (until military governorship) into voting for the acceptance of Jordanian sovereignty. And that is not true "self-determination."
(COMMENT)You are still confusing military control with sovereignty.
We need to look at the consequences.
• You want the "occupation to end" and the "withdrawal of all foreign" military (IDF) → paramilitary (Police) and Secutiry Forces (Shin Bet, etc).
• That creates a vacuum both attracting both the politically and criminally corupt. This vacuum, among other things, pulls-in the Jihadists, Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Troublemakers, Adherents, Guerrillas and Asymmetric Fighter, as the new entity that establishes "effective control."
•This is essentially what happened in the Gaza Strip. The Israel Element withdrew and the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) took advantage ot the situation and, by force, took control. And HAMAS has allowed the associate groups (Palestine Islamic Jihad) as well as foreign military influences [Iranian Revolutionary Guards-Quds Force (IRCG-QF)].
There is no true government in the world that does not maintain some sort of apparatus to maintain "effective control" in the sovereignty. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Arab League. Effective control is the aspect of a government that protects the government and the people (sometimes).
Most Respectfully,

Military control of your own territory is sovereignty. Military control of territory that is no yours is occupation.You equate "effective control" as exclusive meaning "occupation." That would be incorrect. And you equate 'effective control" with military coersion.
There's no part of Palestine, that wasn't vested with the sovereignty of the Jewish nation by international law.
No Arab nation had ever any sovereignty in that territory, and all potential source of any other sovereignty in that territory is solely a function of an agreement from the Jewish nation.
