montelatici, jillian, elektra, P F Tinmore, et al,
This is a cool fallacy. They make it appear that they addressed the debate, when in reality they did not.
I have two questions, maybe somebody can answer, about Samaria and Judea.
How did the Palestinians acquire those territories, and when did that happen?
In 1924 the Palestinians became the legal citizens of Palestine. This was according the rule of state succession (international law) and reiterated by the Treaty of Lausanne. This was followed up by the Palestinian Citizenship Order of 1925.
that would be false.
but thanks for playing.
study history, jew-hater
You are writing faslehoods. But thanks for providing proof of your ignorance.
Do some research before writing nonsense, Christian-hater.

3. Q. What measures have been taken to bring the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will safeguard the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion? What are the effects of these measures?
A. The Palestinian Citizenship Order in Council which was made in August, 1925, provides for the acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by persons habitually resident in the country who were Ottoman subjects, and persons who were foreign subjects and take up permanent residence.
Mandate for Palestine - Report of the Mandatory to the League of Nations (31 December 1925)
(COMMENT)
Becoming a citizen of the Government of Palestine (the territory to which the Mandate applied) has nothing whatsoever to do with state succession. The Treaty of Lausanne records the renouncement of Title and Rights to the Allied Powers. It provided for the elimination of "stateless people."
The International Law of Succession deals with topicwithin three main headings, as follows:
(a) Succession in respect of treaties;
(b) Succession in respect of rights and duties resulting from sources other than treaties;
(c) Succession in respect of membership of international organizations.
It should be understood that the expression or phrase "succession of States" should denote simply the fact of the replacement of one State by another, thus excluding all questions of rights and obligations as a legal incident of that change the reality. There is a relationship between the "succession" in respect to treaties and the general law of treaties. While it may not sit right with the Arab Palestinian that denounces any interpretative fact --- the reality is "the Vienna Convention should be taken as an essential framework of the law relating to succession of States in respect of treaties." You will find this quote on page 6,
Yearbook of the International Law Commission, 1974, vol. n, Part .One Subsection C - Paragraph 19 Concept of Succession of States.
Of course, much of what we are discussing here happened before this line of wisdom, so it is important to know that the about the time of the 1967 Six Day War, the discussion was along these lines:
International Law Commission on the work of its nineteenth session, 8 May -14 July 1967, Page 368, Chapter III, Section A. ORGANIZATION OF FUTURE WORK. Paragraph 1, Succession of States and Governments.
It has been my experience that Arab Palestinians pay little attention to laws and conventions that do not support their position. You will notice that the Permanent Court of Justice stays will away from this issue, and the Judicial System is now in a quandary.
Most Respectfully,
