P F Tinmore, et al,
In any century long dispute, small or large, there are going to be mistakes on both sides of the argument
(whatever it may be).
You did not mention the UNPC that was supposed to take over the Mandate in 1948 but failed to protect the people and land under its trust.
You did not mention the UNCCP that was charged to solve the Palestinian problem but failed to do its job.
(COMMENT)
As far as the UNPC is concernment, the Arab League invaded the territory outside their jurisdiction and venue. That necessitated a change in the organizational structure and the mission/mandate. The
United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP) assumed the functions given to the United Nations Mediator on Palestine by the resolution of the General Assembly of 14 May 1948. The Arab Invasion began the following day in violation of the Charter [Chapter 1, Article 2(4) --- refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state].
The Decolonization by the UN does not cover Palestine even though the colonizing of Palestine was mentioned in other UN resolutions.
(COMMENT)
Without regard to what you think the Decolonization means
(using your layman's definition and the interpretation of what YOU think the other non-binding resolutions contribute) in actual fact nowhere near Israel or in the adjacent or immediate vicinity, is there a colonial power at work for the purpose of acquiring territory.
There is a pile of other UN resolutions that address the Palestine problem sitting on the shelf collecting dust with no action taken.
(COMMENT)
Yes, that may be what you see. That does not mean that these dust collectors have not been overtaken by events or superseded in some other fashion.
Just because the UN consistently fails the Palestinians does not change the facts on the ground. Israel is the colonization of Palestine.
(COMMENT)
This appears to be a poor interpretation of what is going on as well.
The establishment of the Jewish State of Israel is not the result of a colonization process. No matter what you want to call the Immigration procedures to encourage and facilitate the close settlement by all Jews on the land --- who are willing to assist in the establishment and reconstitution of their Jewish national home.
Without regard to what the Hostile Arab Palestinians may think today, it was always the case that the Allied Powers having acquired the title and all rights to the territory in question, have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917.
It was not the case that the territory in question --- which was placed under the Enemy Occupied Territory Administration --- was in any fashion --- Arab Palestinian Territory. In the time of the Armistice of Mudros (1918), and the Treaty of Sevres (1920) to the Treaty of Lausanne (1924), The entire case for the hostility generated by the Arab Community and the Palestinians in particular, collapses when it is examined that all the outside territorial frontiers was renounces in favor of the Principal Allied Powers along with all rights and title which she could claim on any ground over or concerning any territories. There is no question here. It is what it is. And all apportionments that the Allied Powers offered to the Arab Palestinians from a time before the last Treaty, to the present day, were rejected by the Arab Palestinians in lieu of "nothing."
Most Respectfully,
R
