Jordan did not annex the West Bank. It is illegal to annex occupied territory.I suppose that you are really talking about the Sovereign Jordanian Territory annexed in 1950 and the Egyptian Military Governate (the Gazza Strip).
Jordan wanted to annex it. No one would allow them.Jordan did not annex the West Bank. It is illegal to annex occupied territory.
The US recognized Palestine with its trade agreement in1932 and court rulings. Is that recognition irrevocable?Oddly enough, the Palestiniians sent a letter of recognition to Israel in 1993. That recognition is irrevocable.
Only if you duck my question.No matter what YOU think was mishandled in 1948, 1949, 1950, 1988, 1972, and 1993, the fact of the matter is that Israel is entitled to have its existence recognized.
When you are out of bullets, play the antisemite card.Branding BDS campaigners a “minority of an extreme and well organised clique” he said: “You don’t have to look very hard to find a pattern of antisemitic behaviour in connection with campaigns promoting a boycott of Israel.
Jordan did not annex the West Bank. It is illegal to annex occupied territory.
Amid protests from some Labour MPs, an amendment tabled by former Communities Minister Rob Jenrick has been passed with the government support to stop local authority pension funds from backing BDS sanctions against UK companies connected with Israel.
The move comes on the day Hertfordshire County Council rejected a bid to divest millions from companies linked to Israel and in advance of a BDS vote by Wirral council promoted by expelled Labour councillor Jo Bird.
Changes to the Pensions Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Bill will give the Local Government Secretary new powers to direct Local Government Pension Funds not to make decisions that conflict with government foreign and defence policy.
It comes after the Supreme Court, in May, 2020, overruled a previous attempt by the government to curb BDS in Britain at the end of a four-year legal battle bought by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
At the time, the government said it was committed to stopping “local boycotts” from being introduced.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Jenrick said public sector pensions, paid for by the taxpayer and underwritten by the government, were “quite clearly the preserve of the state” and it was “perfectly legitimate” for the government to have a say in how they were regulated.
He added: “For too long we have seen public pension schemes pursue pseudo foreign policies and all too often the foreign policy of these public pension schemes is I’m afraid, exclusively focused on re-writing the UK’s relationship with the world’s only Jewish state, Israel.
“The latest example of the politicisation of public pension schemes is by Wirral Council who are currently considering releasing almost £5m within investments in seven companies. This pet project of a small minority who seek to hijack the money of hard working taxpayers for their own political ends is of no interest to the public pension holders of the Wirral…”
Branding BDS campaigners a “minority of an extreme and well organised clique” he said: “You don’t have to look very hard to find a pattern of antisemitic behaviour in connection with campaigns promoting a boycott of Israel. Successive studies have shown the single best statistical predictor of anti-Jewish hostility is the amount of BDS activity…”

Jordanian annexation of the West Bank - Wikipedia

The West Bank was formally annexed on 24 April 1950, but the annexation was widely considered as illegal and void by most of the international community.[6] A month afterwards, the Arab League declared that they viewed the area "annexed by Jordan as a trust in its hands until the Palestine case is fully solved in the interests of its inhabitants."
1948. UN Charter.You have to be just a little closer to the mark here. You have to tell me what territory and what citation you are using.
That was on 1922. Palestine did not become a state until 1924.In 1925 the Hashemites took 78% of the Mandate for the Jewish homeland.
Delusional.That was on 1922. Palestine did not become a state until 1924.
A territory defined by internationalist borders and whose residents have citizenship is not terra nullius.You could make an argument that srael took the West Bank by Force, but even that became a moot point when the Jordanians cut all ties with their former territorial holdings in 1988. You could make an argument that this action effectively shifted the territory to a Terra Nullius status.
Link?Palestine was not to become a State for anybody.
