P F Tinmore, et al,
OK, one more time.
The
State of Palestine is defined as:
(COMMENT)
In the context
(the proper context in which this statement was made) the inference being made by the Palestinians is that the "Palestine" as surrendered by the Ottoman Empire to the Allied Powers --- a lesser included, arbitrary geographic area, as determined by the Allied Powers, was somehow:
1. Palestine from the river to the sea, and from north to south, is a land of the Palestinian people and its homeland and its legitimate right, we may not a waiver an inch or any part thereof, no matter what the reasons and circumstances and pressures.
2. Palestine - all of Palestine - is a land of Islamic and Arab affiliation, a blessed sacred land, that has a major portion in the heart of every Arab and Muslim
3. No recognition of the legitimacy of the occupation whatever; this is a principled position, political and moral, and therefore do not recognize the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and recognition of "Israel" and the legitimacy of its presence on any part of Palestine no matter how long; and it will not be long, God willing.
There is no formal agreement, convention, resolution or treaty that stipulates or substantiates these claims made by the former enemy aligned Arab elements of WWI
(Central Powers), WWII
(Axis Powers), or the regional security threat by the Hostile Arab Palestinians
(HoAP) aligned with the
Palestinian Arab I
rregular Force
(PAIF) (Holy War Army or the Arab Liberation Army) that allocates sovereignty to the HoAP/PAIF of any surrendered territory.
There is a bit of an absurdity here in the HoAP claim.
The outcome was the Partition Plan. The General Assembly adopted a Plan in 1947 which culminated in the Civil War between the
Palestinian Arab I
rregular Force (PAIF) and Jewish Community Forces/Israel Defense Forces (IDF):
- PAIF: in the 1947-48 led by Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni [killed in operations (April '48) before Israeli Independence] and Hasan Salama. Salama a former member of the Waffen SS and leader in WWII Operations jointly operated by Sicherheitsdienst (SS/SD) and Grand Mufti al-Husseini. It should be noted here that a VERY IMPORTANT aspect of the conflict was encapsulated in the fact that was already known to the Security Forces of the Mandatory and the Jewish Haganah. In addition to his WWII duties for the SS [establishing and supporting the communication and intelligence facilities for the Abwehr (German military intelligence), recruiting and arming anti-British Palestinians] Hasan Salama was tasked with general harassment of the British Mandatory.
- SIDE NOTES:
- In June 1948 in the early stages of the War for Independence, Hasan Salama was killed after a disastrous engagement with the Haganah in the Battle for Ras el-Ein.
- Hasan Salama was the father to Ali Hasan Salama, principle planner for the 1972 Olympic Massacre by Black September.
When looking at this from a very practical standpoint, the Allied Powers do not normally bow to the demands made by non-aligned forces that fought on the side of enemy; especially the Axis Powers. Palestine, from the time the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA - 1918) was established --- until --- the termination of the British Mandate (1948), was defined under the
Palestine Order in Council as those "territories to which the Mandate for Palestine applies, hereinafter described as Palestine."
The HoAP/PAIF have nothing comparable to this documentary evidence. And in practice, the HoAP/PAIF have no historical past, for more than a thousand years, that they had sovereign control over any of the territory they claim.
Most Respectfully,
