RE: Hamas Leader Killed
SUBTOPIC: The Final Resolution of Territories

There is a concept and a doctrine pertaining to judgments and judicial precedents that essentially follows the path that says: "Let the decision stand."
The establishment of the Jewish National Home (the state now called Israel) was made by the Allied Powers after the conclusion of the Great War (WW I). It was a
decision made by the Victorious Powers at the Castle Devachan in San Remo over a century ago. The protocols for the decisions were not unlike those made at the conclusions of conflicts in the century prior and those made for the century afterward.
It's not the mandate system that makes Israel illegitimate, it's the apartheid government and Jew supremacist ideology.
Interesting. Because you definitely implied that the illegitimacy arose during the creation of Israel from a lack of democratic process and the imposition of foreign powers.

Correct
!
The decisions made and the tools that were developed by the Victorious were not made by means of a "Democratic Process." The decisions were made by the leadership of the principal Democratic Nations that were responsible for the defeat of the Axis Powers and the responsibility over the administration of the Occupied Enemy Territories (all of which were former territories of the Ottoman Turkish Empire which collapsed under Allied Military pressure). With the exception of the Arab military administration over the Levant (mostly Heshimite) that was operating within the British Sector, the decisions on the land disposition pertaining to the territory west of (what is now) Iraq were made without consultation with the (what is now).
The true reality [which the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) do not deny] is recorded:
History of British Administration said:
22. Later in 1923, a third attempt was made to establish an institution through which the Arab population of Palestine could be brought into cooperation with the government. The mandatory Power now proposed “the establishment of an Arab Agency in Palestine which will occupy a position exactly analogous to that accorded to the Jewish Agency”. The Arab Agency would have the right to be consulted on all matters relating to immigration, on which it was recognised that “the views of the Arab community were entitled to special consideration”. The Arab leaders declined that this offer on the ground that it would not satisfy the aspirations of the Arab people. They added that, never having recognised the status of the Jewish Agency, they had no desire for the establishment of an Arab Agency on the same basis.
“The British Government desired to establish a self-government in Palestine, but to proceed in this direction by stages…. It had been announced that the nominated Advisory Council was to be the first stage. The second stage would have been a Legislative Council without an Arab majority. If this worked satisfactorily, the third stage, after a lapse of perhaps same years, would have been a constitution on more democratic lines.”
The HoAP had multiple occasions to participate in the framework for a self-governing territory that would probably look very much different than what the levant looks like today. But they declined. They simply did not want to cooperate.
Yes, as far as I'm concerned the state of Israel was not the outcome of a democratic process involving all of the region's inhabitants. It was imposed by foreign powers and for that reason has no legitimacy - in my view.
So, this feels like a walk-back. Whatever.
- If it is only the government which is illegitimate, there wouldn't be a need to destroy Israel, simply to replace its government.
- there is no evidence of apartheid in Israel.
- You have been unable to adequately define "Jewish supremacy" as it is differentiated from "Jewish self-determination".

Our friend "Shusha" is 100% on the money here.
If there is a question of "Israeli Supremecy" then how does that differ from the regional, political, or economic influence - or any other hegemony attempts?
We should remember that the Principal Allied Powers made mention in the San Remo Conference to the Council of the League of Nations that:
"and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,"
Keep in mind that the HoAP campaign to take by force the territory as stated in the
Document of General Principles & Policies is in direct conflict with the idea of a "Jewish National Home."
The Land of Palestine:
- Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras Al-Naqurah in the north to Umm Al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. The expulsion and banishment of the Palestinian people from their land and the establishment of the Zionist entity therein do not annul the right of the Palestinian people to their entire land and do not entrench any rights therein for the usurping Zionist entity.
- Palestine is an Arab Islamic land. It is a blessed sacred land that has a special place in the heart of every Arab and every Muslim.
Most Respectfully,
