For John Quigley, Palestine's existence as a state predates the 1988 declaration. Tracing Palestine's status as an international entity back to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, he recalls that the Palestine Mandate (1918–1948), an arrangement made under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, held as its "ultimate objective", the "self-determination and independence of the people concerned." He says that in explicitly referring to the Covenant, the 1988 declaration was reaffirming an existing Palestinian statehood.[137] Noting that Palestine under the Mandate entered into bilateral treaties, including one with Great Britain, the Mandatory power, he cites this as an example of its "sovereignty" at that time. He also notes the corollary of the Stimson Doctrine and the customary prohibition on the use of force contained in the Restatement of Foreign Relations Law of the United States, "[a]n entity does not necessarily cease to be a state even if all of its territory has been occupied by a foreign power".[81]RE: All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss

(SHORT NOTE)
Again, The First Intifada (1987) was overtaken by events. Many things changed since then.
While the Hostile Arab Palestinians could have made a Statehood Proposal in 1987 three decades ago, they did not make such a proposal for Statehood for another two decades. In fact, I could have put in the 1988 PLO Declaration of Independence but I'm not sure, other than for Historical purposes, what relevance it has.

This is an abbreviated Timeline>. Many Important things happened since then. But since I
already mentioned the international borders agreements, I eliminated the clutter.
This history is about the self-determination of the Arab Palestinians.

Has Quigly confirmed that the "country of Pal'istan" was invented in 1924 by the Treaty of Lausanne?
