RE: Palestine Today
※→ P F Tinmore,
et al,
Yes, you are correct. They had effective control of a civil administration through a Mandate after the parties to a Treaty of Peace
(AKA The Allied Powers) came into possession of the Rights and Title to the territory
(one of many territories) renounced by the Turkish Republic. (Article 16)
Those people had no sovereignty over that territory.
(COMMENT)
Your argument all along has been that the Allied Powers did NOT have the authority over the territory. → AND → You have consistently argued that Article 30 (Nationality) is overriding Article 16 (Territory). → AND → Your position is that the people formerly under the effective control of the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA)
(emphasis on the word "Enemy") somehow came into a superior authority, after hostilities ended, in comparison to that of the victors over the Ottoman Empire/Turkish Republics.
My argumentative is in direct opposition. I take the position: In that historical time period, the Allied Powers won the war and became the decision making power and authority.
No matter how many witnesses you bring forth that sheds alligator tears frequently or readily over the history of the Arab Palestinians in the last century, the facts are, that what happened to support the idea that the Allied Powers had every intent and every authority to do what they did; and as authors of both the intent and authority, they had the right to the meaning of the international agreements.
Most Respectfully,
