What do you have for about 200 years before the British occupation?The Jews lived in Palestine without war for hundreds of years before Britain entered and started the war.P F Tinmore, et al:
Again, I think you are not telling the whole story here.
(COMMENT)
In 1939, the UK (as Mandatory) was subordinate to the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations ("The Geneva-based commission was established in 1919 under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations to supervise the administration under the mandate system of fifteen mandated territories including four in the Middle East—France's Lebanon and Syria and Britain's Palestine and Iraq." Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East and North Africa ). The Policy being set here was the voice of only one member; albeit an important Allied Power. As the 1939 White Paper stated:
This is very important: (The rest of the story!)
While there are excerpts in the White Paper of 1939, that sound very favorable to the cause P F Tinmore wants to champion, it is a double edged sword for the pro-Palestinian. The Permanent Mandates Commission ultimately rejected the Mandatory's interpretation between the policy outlined in the White Paper and the terms of the Palestine mandate.
Having said that, but in the interest of balance, there was a bit of conflict between the position taken by the Permanent Mandates Commission and that of the Anglo-American community of Inquiry. The twelve members of the Committee, signed an unanimous Report* at Lausanne on 20th April 1945.
The committee recommended that the constitutional future of Palestine should be based on three principles:-
I. That Jew shall not dominate Arab and Arab shall not dominate Jew in PalestineThe committee explicitly rejected partition and concluded that “now and for some time to come any attempt to establish either an independent Palestinian state or independent Palestinian States would result in civil strife such as might threaten the peace of the world”. They accordingly recommended that Palestine should continue to be administered under the Mandate pending the execution of a trusteeship agreement.
II. That Palestine shall be neither a Jewish state nor an Arab state.
III. That the form of government ultimately to be established, shall, under international guarantees, fully protect and preserve the interests in the Holy land of Christendom and of the Moslem and Jewish Faiths.
There was plenty of written and spoken communication and debate in "the language of political discourse." In the end, both the Mandatory and the Permanent Mandates Commission recognized that there was irreconcilable differences between the principles of the Jewish and Arab.
For many pro-Palestinians, these are the essential differences that remain today.
- For the Jews the essential point of principle is the creation of sovereign Jewish State.
- For the Arabs, the essential point of principle is to resist to the last the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine.
Most Respectfully,
RThere was plenty of written and spoken communication and debate in "the language of political discourse." In the end, both the Mandatory and the Permanent Mandates Commission recognized that there was irreconcilable differences between the principles of the Jewish and Arab.
Indeed, and this major British fuck up started a hundred year (and counting) war.
And Britain still supports the continuation of this war.
And it had nothing to do with irreconcilable difference between the principles of the Jews and Arabs going back to 632 C.E. did it. A 1300 year war that was started by a mentally deranged false prophet.
Not according the links I have supplied in recent days, they show that the muslims were mass murdering them all the time.
Massacre of Jews by arab muslims in Safed 1834
Massacre of Jews by arab muslims in Hebron 1518
Massacre of Jews by arab muslims in Bagdad 1828
and many others around the M.E and horn of Africa, a contemporary report at the time stated that Jews were often mistreated and abused and in some cases wiped out by the arab muslim rulers
