This year marks 100 years since the
Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917 which endorsed “
the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish People.” The declaration became the basis for the League of Nations (precursor to the United Nations) to endorse the
Palestine Mandate which clearly articulated the history and rights of Jews to a reconstituted national homeland in the area now commonly thought of as Gaza, Israel, the West Bank and Jordan.
Article 25 of the Mandate allowed the administrator (Britain) to change the contours of the reestablished Jewish homeland.
------
The League of Nations considered at the outset of its endorsement of a Jewish national home in 1920 and 1922 that perhaps the contours of such homeland should exclude the land east of the Jordan River. But international law has – and continues to fail – in two major respects:
- In JORDAN: The provision (Article 25) to cut the eastern part of the Mandate (and ONLY the eastern part) from the Jewish homeland specifically did not allow the discrimination against Jews from buying land or obtaining citizenship there;
- In the WEST BANK: All of the land west of the Jordan River was allocated for a Jewish homeland, and obviously with full legal authorization for Jews to purchase homes and obtain citizenship, despite calls by the current Palestinian Authority leadership to have a Jew-free country

Oh....you don't want to be found out? OK.
I never get "found out" I present the facts. It is you people that have never bothered to do any research and only spout Hasbara propaganda that get found out.
"Unauthorized statements have been made to the effect that the purpose in view is to create a wholly Jewish Palestine. Phrases have been used such as that Palestine is to become "as Jewish as England is English." HMG regard any such expectation as impracticable and have no such aim in view. Nor have they at any time contemplated, as appears to be feared by the Arab Delegation, the disappearance or the subordination of the Arabic population, language or culture in Palestine. They would draw attention to the fact that the terms of the Declaration referred to do not contemplate that Palestine as a whole should be converted into a Jewish National Home, but that such a Home should be founded in Palestine."
"Churchill White Paper" - UK Secretary of State for the Colonies (3 June 1922)
Is this paper for real? As posted by UNISPAL?
Lets see what it says:
"the disappearance or the subordination of the Arabic population, language or culture in Palestine."
What subordination of the Arabic population?
What different language than the usual Arabic the Arabs of Arabia have always spoken? What Palestine or Palestinian culture did they have which was different from the language, culture, etc from the Arabs in Egypt, North Africa, what became Syria, Lebanon or Iraq?
Why is it that the Arab League worries only about the endless numbers or Arab invaders, and does not care one iota for the rights of any and all the indigenous people of all the lands they invaded, conquered, and then were turned to them, the Arabs post WWI, and not to the other indigenous people like the Kurds, the Assyrians, the Yazidis and all other indigenous people who have managed to survive endless attacks by the Arab Muslims with the idea of keeping those lands in Arab Muslim hands?
There were 4 Mandates. 3 were given to the Arabs, and not to the legitimate indigenous people of those lands.
The fourth one, Palestine Mandate, was split unequally.
77% to the just kicked out of Arabia, Hashemite clan, instead of TranJordan being given, as promised and as or right, to the Jewish People the Mandate was created for.
The Arabs have continued to subordinate the Kurds, Assyrians, Yazidis and all others to their Conquerors' rules.
You know very well that there was not going to be ANY subjugation of the Arab, Druze, Bahai, and other groups living in the Mandate for Palestine by the Jewish indigenous people.
Any more than there is now in the State of Israel.
You want Arabs to be "subordinate" to the Jews?
Go and tell them to be so and stop fighting and just give in.
Hamas and Abbas and all others can just give in to the Jews and live under "Jewish Domination" just as 20 % of Arabs who now live in Israel are doing. And most of those 20% are enjoying the Israeli/Jewish treatment very much. Thank you !!!
So much so that they do not want to be part of any "Palestine State".
Just go ask them yourself. They have told on video how much they do not mind that Israel is a Jewish State, as it should be, as it has always been the ancestral land of the Jews, and not of the Arabs.
