With regard to nationality of the inhabitants of mandated territories, in general, the Council of the League of Nations adopted the following resolution on 23 April 1923:The Mandate was not a place. It was a temporarily assigned administration.They were changed from Ottoman subjects to Palestinians by treaties that released them from Ottoman rule.And before they were Palestinians, they were Ottomans...Indeed, but the Muslims, Christians, and even some of the Jews were Palestinians before they were incorporated into Israel against their will.
Then they were forced to Israeli rule at the point of a gun against their will.
Mandate for Palestine subjects as no nation of Palestine was even invented before 1988
Yes the British Mandate was just that, the Mandate for Palestine was much more. It gave Jordan to a minor Saudi princeling and made a new nation of Trans Jordan for arab muslims in Palestine. It also forced the British to take control of the people and make them BRITISH Palestinian citizens. Read what it says on the passports ?
“(1) The status of the native inhabitants of a Mandated territory is distinct from that of the nationals of the Mandatory Power....
(2) The native inhabitants of a Mandated territory are not invested with the nationality of the Mandatory Power by means of the protection extended to them…”92

If they target unarmed civlians mainly children they are terrorists, if they target only military then they are freedom fighters.

The main question was about the settlers: Are they civilians or not? According to the Geneva Accord they are not. Even according to the Israelis they are not.
In 2003 we went to Cairo. The Egyptians asked whether Hamas is ready to stop the martyrdom operations or not. We gave the Egyptians a better offer. We were ready to have an agreement to stop targeting civilians [on] both sides. The army is supposed to fight, but civilians should be out of it. The Egyptians agreed and passed it on to the Israelis.
Ariel Sharon sent Efraim Halevi, who was the head of Shin Bet at the time. The Egyptians, who were the mediators, negotiated with Halevi. When we reached the definition of civilians, we accepted the definition put forward by the Geneva Accord. The Israelis were surprised, as they did not expect that. We said that the settlers are not civilians and the answer was, yes, they are not.
Halevi went back to Israel, but Sharon rejected the proposal.

Good question. Palestinians are in the category of INCREDIBLY STUPID. Have you noticed how every time they kill Israel's, Israel retaliates killing far more Palestinians & then the Palestinians & their supporters bitch about how many more dead Palestinians there are than Israeli's. It's called Palestinian Mentality.

Israeli clearly doesn't target civilians, unlike regimes like Syria and terrorists like ISIS. Any claims to the contrary are anti-semitic.
"(Gaza) – Israeli forces in the southern Gaza town of Khuza’a fired on and killed civilians in apparent violation of the laws of war in several incidents between July 23 and 25, 2014. Deliberate attacks on civilians who are not participating in the fighting are war crimes...."

The French killed many more Algerians in retaliation. Made no difference, the Europeans were forced to leave eventually although they had lived in Algeria for generations. Colonizers are always better armed and better equipped than the colonized.

The Palestinians target Israeli children almost exclusively making them the worst of terrorists that should be executed on sight. When they stop firing illegal weapons trained on schools in Israel then they will be ready to join the human race. Until then they are barbaric blood thirsty psychopathic scumThe main question was about the settlers: Are they civilians or not? According to the Geneva Accord they are not. Even according to the Israelis they are not.
In 2003 we went to Cairo. The Egyptians asked whether Hamas is ready to stop the martyrdom operations or not. We gave the Egyptians a better offer. We were ready to have an agreement to stop targeting civilians [on] both sides. The army is supposed to fight, but civilians should be out of it. The Egyptians agreed and passed it on to the Israelis.
Ariel Sharon sent Efraim Halevi, who was the head of Shin Bet at the time. The Egyptians, who were the mediators, negotiated with Halevi. When we reached the definition of civilians, we accepted the definition put forward by the Geneva Accord. The Israelis were surprised, as they did not expect that. We said that the settlers are not civilians and the answer was, yes, they are not.
Halevi went back to Israel, but Sharon rejected the proposal.

And the source is an islamonazi terrorist who are known to lie through their teeth all the time. The people living in Israel are civilians according to the Geneva conventions irrespective of what hamas and fatah decide.
