Natural citizens including Muslims, Christians, and Jews did not have to take the oath.The oath was only for immigrants.Britain was the trustee for Palestine. Trustees administer but do not own anything.Of a British Mandate...You seem to flipflop too much.
Arabs and Jews fought against the British govt in Palestine.
Q. How many people, do You assume, actually made that oath?
Good question. Many Jews never got citizenship and colonial settlers got theirs fraudulently.
Exactly my point, the number of passports issued was insignificant.
Nobody made that oath except for those, I assume, who had the motive to get a British travel passport. And the number of passports issued was insignificant.
I'll exaggerate to make a point - no Palestinian Arab or Palestinian Jew ever made that oath.
Both people fought the British govt in Palestine for their own reasons, after Ottoman capitulation both people saw it as irrelevant.
* Your fixation on Jews is showing.
I don't think so:
(1) Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine upon the 1st day of August 1924 shall
become Palestine citizens.
Q. How many Arabs and Jews received the Mandate passport or made the oath?
Maybe, where does it say so?
I don't get the point of discussing an imposed govt on people who both had their own conflicting views about the future in the land. Arabs wanted bigger Syria, Jews wanted a National Home.
