RE: Boycott Israel
※→ P F Tinmore,,
et al,
This is an almost an invalid question.
Prior to the end of the Mandate, the Jewish Agency was one of a choir of Jewish representatives that coordinated with the United Nations Palestine Commission (which was a legal entity administered under United Nations Mandate) on the Jewish self-determination action to declare independence; to secure their blessing.
Where did it say that they were authorized to declare a Jewish state and who would give them the land for their state?
And where did it say that the Jewish Agency existed separate from the Mandate?
BTW, the Jewish Agency was an advisory body to the Mandate with no power of authority.

Q1: Where did it say that they were authorized to declare a Jewish state?
√
FUNCTIONS and POWERS - Chapter IV - UN Charter:
Article 10
The General Assembly may discuss any questions or any matters within the scope of the present Charter or relating to the powers and functions of any organs provided for in the present Charter, and, except as provided in Article 12, may make recommendations to the Members of the United Nations or to the Security Council or to both on any such questions or matters.
• The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) made the recommendation options. The UN General Assembly
selected A/RES/181(II) 29 November 1947 as the Resolution to adopt.
※ As originally stated, the announcement from the Provisional Government was was issued:
§ Pursuant to
Chapter I, UN Charter, Article 1(2) → principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples.
§ After completing the minimum "Steps Preparatory to Independence" - Part 1, Section "B" - A/RES/181(II).
§ Pursuant to the
Preamble and Article 2, Mandate for Palestine,
≜ Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,
≜ The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.
Q2: Who would give them the land for their state?
• Invalid Question. The Question makes an incorrect presumption that the land was gifted from some entity, to some entity. --- OR --- The question presuppose that the land must be granted from some entity to some entity. Neither postulate is correct. This is a question of sovereignty and not ownership. I own the land on which my house sits; but it is sovereign federal territory.
• The Israeli People, immigrated to the Territory under the Mandate, have the right to self-determination, that they freely determine their political status; and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
• The Allied Powers in 1920 and the Allied Powers in 1947 that it was necessary to recognize the collective rights of the immigrant turned indigenous which are indispensable for their existence, well-being and integral development as peoples.
