So explain then madam why the document would refer to relocating "Palestinian peasantry" in order to create space for immigrating Jews? try actually reading it, if you want to see it just ask.The British Mandate was known as “Palestine, which was a geo-political term for the region. Therefore Jews living there were known as > Palestinians.
You can't, your claim is bogus, typical pro-Zionist abuse of the facts.
The British had no business creating states out of the territory of (British Mandated) Palestine. They had already agreed (in 1915) with the leading Arabs at the time (the vast majority of the population was Arab) (see the McMahon-Hussein correspondence) to support them in establishing self rule after the Ottomans were expelled.As for the land, 70% of the land designated for the Jews by the British was given to the Hashemites, in order to appease the Arabs.
The Arabs duly assisted in that, and fought bravely with the British and expelled the Turkish invaders who had ruled there for over 400 years.
This is the map that show what the British agreed would become a self governing Arab state after WW1.
That was what was agreed in 1915. The British around the same time however secretly agreed with the French etc (see Sykes-Picot agreement) to carve up the mandated regions differently (creating states Iraq, Syria, Lebanon etc) effectively stealing territory for their own political ambitions and reneging on a treaty.
Its as if the French in aiding the Americans to expel the British during the war of independence, decided after doing that, that they would carve up America and create distinct self governing countries designed to suit French aspirations.
To add insult to injury the British then decided to deal with Zionist agitators (in return for Jewish money during WW1) to carve out an area of Palestine specifically for Jews to colonize and establish a Jewish governed state.
So that's what happened, the British lied and betrayed a people who had bravely supported them in ejecting the Turkish invaders.
That is the seed that has grown into today's mess and unjustly the Arabs are portrayed as evil, antisemitic and so on, all of which is lies, Jews had lived and were living peacefully next door to Arabs and Christians and there was no trace of Jewish nationalism - Zionism.
Zionism grew as an idea in Europe where nationalism and fascism were also growing, it has much in common with fascist ideology because it did not emerge from Judaism but from European nationalist ideas.
Today the descendants of those Arabs that fought with the British, fought to liberate the region from Turkish rule, are being starved, shot, bombed, butchered and demonized as evil incarnate, bye racial supremacist Jews - is it any wonder that that has led to hatred?
You're welcome.
