RE: All The News Anti-Israel Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: There are times when an intelligence reader must be able to connect the dots.
The Americans were defending US Sovereign Territory. The Arab Palestinians are NOT defending Arab Palestinian Sovereignty.
There you go back to the Palestinians not having any rights.
Who told you that Palestine was not sovereign Palestinian territory?

Pages 563-564 • Parry & Grant Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law said:
sovereignty ‘Sovereignty as a principle of international law must be sharply distinguished
from other related uses of the term: sovereignty in its internal aspects and political sovereignty.
Sovereignty in its internal aspects is concerned with the identity of the bearer of
supreme authority within a State. This may be an individual or a collective unit. . . . In international
relations, the scope of political sovereignty is still less limited [than that within a
State]. Political sovereignty is the necessary concomitant of the lack of an effective international
order and the constitutional weaknesses of the international superstructures which
have so far been grafted on the law of unorganized international society. . . . [D]octrinal
attempts at spiriting away sovereignty must remain meaningless. Actually, such efforts
appear to minimize unduly the fundamental character of the principle of legal sovereignty
within the realm of international law. The rules underlying this principle derive their importance
from the basic fact that “almost all international relations are bound up” with the
independence of States. Thus, the principle of sovereignty in general, and that of territorial
sovereignty in particular, remains of necessity the “point of departure in settling most questions
that concern international relations”

sovereignty In political theory, the ultimate authority in the decisionmaking process of the state and in the maintenance of order. In 16thcentury France JEAN BODIN used the concept of sovereignty to bolster the power of the king over his feudal lords, heralding the transition from FEUDALISM to NATIONALISM. By the end of the 18th century, the concept of the SOCIAL CONTRACT led to the idea of popular sovereignty, or sovereignty of the people, through an organized government. The HAGUE CONVENTIONS, the GENEVA CONVENTIONS, and the UNITED NATIONS all have restricted the actions of sovereign countries in the international arena, as has INTERNATIONAL LAW.
There are only two places within the territory formerly under the Mandate of Palestine and west of the Jordan River, that can claim to have been "sovereign" to the Arab Palestinian in the last eight (8) centuries: The Gaza Strip and Area "A" of the West Bank.
I keep saying it over and over again, the Hostile Arab Palestinians have the exact same civil and political rights as the Israeli.
So they can return to their homeland?

Page 1602 • © 2006 Encyclopædia Britannica said:
[A refugee is a] Person involuntarily displaced from his or her homeland. Until the late 19th century and the emergence of fixed and closed national boundaries, refugees were always absorbed by neighbouring countries. Later, immigration restrictions and increasing numbers of refugees necessitated special action to aid them. In 1921 FRIDTJOF NANSEN created a League of Nations Passport to allow refugees to move freely across national boundaries. Refugee status at that time was accorded only if the migrant’s departure was involuntary and asylum was sought in another country. In 1938 the definition of refugee was expanded to include persons with a well-founded fear of persecution because of ethnicity, religion, nationality, group membership, or political opinion. Later the definition was expanded again to include persons who have fled from their homes to other places in their own countries. Refugee status ceases to apply when the migrant either is resettled or returns home. At the beginning of the 21st century there were some 16 million refugees, including nearly 4 million Palestinians; much of the rest of the world’s refugees were in Asia (particularly Afghanistan) and Africa, though conflict in the former Yugoslavia and elsewhere in post-Cold War Europe significantly increased the number of refugees in those regions.

REFUGEE ORGANIZATION; Office of the UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES; UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND REHABILITATION ADMINISTRATION.
There are several impediments pertaining to the unrestricted "Right of Return" by the Arab Palestinian.
FIRST:
◈ Article 12(1)
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states: "Everyone lawfully within the territory of a State shall, within that territory, have the right to liberty of movement and freedom to choose his residence."
✦ The determination of what constitutes the status of being "lawfully within the territory of" is a matter of domestic law.
Article 2(7) in the UN Charter specifically PROHIBITS UN Members from intervening "in matters which are essentially
within the domestic jurisdiction of any state."
◈ Article 12(2)
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states: "Everyone shall be free to leave any country, including his own."
✦ No contest.
◈ Article 12(3)
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states: "The above-mentioned rights shall not be subject to any restrictions except those which are provided by law, are necessary to protect national security, public order, public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, and are consistent with the other rights recognized in the present Covenant."
✦ There is absolutely no question that the Arab Palestinian people are national security threat to the State of Israel, as well as, they present a deadly disturbance to the public order of the state.
◈ Article 12(4)
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states: "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country."
✦ There is nothing arbitrary in the restrictions governing entry into the State of Israel. That is both a domestic issue, outside the jurisdiction of the international community, as well as, a matter of protecting the citizens of the State of Israel from a people who want to decimate the Jewish National Home; which has been stated or documented publicly many times.
SECOND:
◈ There is a conflict in the demand made by the Arab Palestinian that want the application of the "Right of Return" to apply to:
✦ All persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, who were displaced and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict. To be eligible, each claimant must be at least 72 years old.
........................................................................AND
✦ Self-proclaimed Arab Palestinian Refugees, and descendants of Palestine refugees, including legally adopted children, are eligible to register for United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East services. Currently, more than 5 million Palestinians are registered with UNRWA as refugees; nearly 95% of which have never had a permanent residence in the State of Israel.
✧ In the case of the Arab Palestinians of the West Bank and Jerusalem, those persons acquired a new nationality and enjoyed the protection from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, with the new nationality. This nationality existed from 1950 until 1988 when the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan abandon those people; becoming refugees from Jordan and NOT Arab Palestinian refugees.
✧ The State of Israel has no requirement to extend immigration and naturalization to any person that:
• Has committed a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against humanity, as defined in the international instruments drawn up to make provision in respect of such crimes;
• Has committed "criminal acts" intended or calculated to create "terror" in the minds of the citizenry and general public in the State of Israel;
• Has committed a serious non-political crime outside Israel;
• Has been committed acts in direct support for Jihadism, Fedayeen Activism, Hostile Insurgency Operations, Radicalized Islamic Behaviors, and Asymmetric Violence.
THIRD:
◈ There is a dispute over the demand:
✦ On demand limits the demand to the land based on pre-June 4th 1967 border with East Jerusalem as its Capital.
........................................................................AND
✦ One demand extends the claim to the entirety of the territory Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.
........................................................................AND
✦ Palestine from the river to the sea, and from north to south, is a land of the Palestinian people and its homeland and its legitimate right, we may not a waiver an inch or any part thereof, no matter what the reasons and circumstances and pressures.
✧ The 4 June borders were adopted based on the 1949 Armistice Line. The Armistice Demarcation Lines were agreed upon by the Parties without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or to claims of either Party (Israel, Jordan, Egypt) relating thereto. The Armistice lines were only to shall remain in force until a peaceful settlement between the Parties is achieved.
• The Jordan-Israeli Peace Treaty (1994)
• Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty (26 March 1979)
These are just a few issues that the status of negotiations between whatever faction in the broken and unsuccessful establishment of a government finally begins the process of building a nation for the Palestinians.
Most Respectfully,
