RE: Israel's Independence Day!

et al,
Well, the term "FACT" means something different t you than it does many others.
I was merely stating fact. You can read into it what you want.
(COMMENT)
What you often present as "FACT" is nothing more than your interpretation of what the Allied Powers considered at the time.
I think you often forget that all these various documents were essentially written by the same group; the Allied Powers. They wrote and did what they saw as best at the time. Essentially, the Allied Powers were the backbone of the Customary and International Humanitarian Laws.
Don't get confused in reading your wishes into the that which was written by the Allied Powers. They
(not the Arab Palestinians) wrote Article 16 of the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), of which the Arab Palestinians were not a party. Remember, when the Treaty was written, Turkey renounced all rights and title → and placed "the future of these territories and islands being settled or to be settled by the parties concerned." By the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the concerned parties were France and Britain. And as it happens, that is the way the history
(the last 95 years) played-out. Remember. that even before the Treaty of Lausanne went into force (1924), three attempts were "made to establish an institution through which the Arab population of Palestine could be brought into cooperation with the government."
Even today, the Arab Palestinians have an opportunity to "live at peace with their neighbors." They still operated with the first choice being violence.
Most Respectfully,
