P F Tinmore, et al,
There is nothing in the Treaty that says anything about Palestine, or the Palestinians.
You quoted nothing form the Treaty that cites the borders of Palestine or the independent nationality of the Palestinians.
You cite a a research paper that reinterprets Part - Article 30 - SECTION II - NATIONALITY (Lausanne Treaty) which says "nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred." The territory of Palestine (not mentioned specifically in the treaty) was transferred to Allied control through the League of Nations Mandate System; NOT another "state." Under the Mandate of Palestine, the UK administered the immigration and naturalization laws.
Your pro-Palestinian source, Bulletin du Centre de recherche français à Jérusalem, research paper is attempting to manipulate the history and application of the facts. The Treaty is worded that way because it not only deals with three different Mandatories (UK, FR, RU), but several other countries and territories that were incorporated to other states. What was (at that time) considered the Mandate of Palestine had Orders in Council and the Mandate directive that specifically addressed the nationality issues.
When you ask, "What do you have to prove that these documents are incorrect?" What are you asking?
You said: "I quoted treaties and laws that stated these points." You quoted a research paper that tries to re-interpret Article 30 which states:
What became know as Palestine, was placed in Mandate, and had already been in Mandate since 1920, and remained so well after the Treaty was signed and went into force. The interpretation that Palestinian Citizenship was conferred by treaty is 100% wrong. The same Allied Powers that established the League of Nations that wrote the Mandate and controlled the territory they named as Palestine, ALSO wrote the Treaty of Lausanne. They all match. The origins and Genesis of Citizenship in Palestine stem from the original authorities long before the Treaty. The Genesis of Citizenship in Israel Israel stem from its Declaration of Independence long after the Treaty.
There is nothing wrong with the Treaty, it is just fine. It is your interpretation of the Treaty I fine in error. You subscribe things to the Treaty that just are not there; in some desperate attempt to substantiate a "state" that never was until 1988.
Most Respectfully,

There is nothing in the Treaty that says anything about Palestine, or the Palestinians.
(COMMENT)RoccoR said:Remember, what the Allied Powers provisionally recognised as independent was "within such boundaries as may be fixed by the Allied Powers."
And the were. Palestine's international borders were defined.
The Palestinians were a distinct nationality.
The Palestinians were citizens of Palestine.
The Treaty of Lausanne was when these de facto characteristics became de jure.
I quoted treaties and laws that stated these points.
Then you said:
RoccoR said:You attempt to imply that "Palestine" was set free by the Treaty of Lausanne, and that a new nation was established with a nationality and citizenship known as "Palestinians." Nothing can be further from the truth.
What do you have to prove that these documents are incorrect?

When you ask, "What do you have to prove that these documents are incorrect?" What are you asking?
- There is nothing in the Treaty that corroborates that "Palestine's international borders were defined."
- I challenge you to find one word concerning Palestine in the Treaty.
- I challenge you to find one word from the Border Commission concerning Palestine.
- There is nothing in the Treaty that corroborates that "Palestinians were a distinct nationality."
- I challenge you to point out the State to which the Territory under Mandate is transferred to make Article 30 applicable.
- There is nothing in the Treaty that corroborates "Palestinians were citizens of Palestine."
- The indigenous population assumed the citizenship as directed by the criteria laid down by the respective mandatories. Nothing in the Treaty alters that.
You said: "I quoted treaties and laws that stated these points." You quoted a research paper that tries to re-interpret Article 30 which states:
Article 30 said:Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty is detached from Turkey will become ipsofacto, in the conditions laid down by the local law, nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred.
