British Mandate for Palestine legal instrument - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The
British Mandate for Palestine, or simply the
Mandate for Palestine, was a
legal commission for the administration of the territory that had formerly constituted the
Ottoman Empire sanjaks of
Nablus,
Acre, the Southern portion of the
Beirut Vilayet, and the
Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, prior to the
Armistice of Mudros. The draft of the Mandate was formally confirmed by the Council of the
League of Nations on 24 July 1922, supplemented via the 16 September 1922
Transjordan memorandum[1][2] and then came into effect on 29 September 1923
[1] following the ratification of the
Treaty of Lausanne.
[3][4] The mandate ended at midnight on 14 May 1948.
The document was based on the principles contained in Article 22 of the draft
Covenant of the League of Nations and the
San Remo Resolution of 25 April 1920, by the principal
Allied and associated powers after the First World War.
[1]The mandate formalised
British rule in the southern part of
Ottoman Syria from 1923–1948.
The formal objective of the League of Nations Mandate system was to administer parts of the defunct
Ottoman Empire, which had been in control of the Middle East since the 16th century, "until such time as they are able to stand alone."
[5]
The mandate document formalised the Creation of Two British protectorates: Palestine, to include a National Home for the Jewish People, under direct British rule, and Transjordan, an Emirate governed semi-autonomously from Britain, under the rule of the Hashemite family.[1]

NO Arab immigrant Palestink.
YOU LOSE.
BTW, using a second post with NO Topical content is TROLLING.
Ironically, trumpeting what would turn out to be YOUR LOSS.
You can't debate me you Islamist Clown.

So, I post source documentation and you post wiki nonsense that can change tomorrow. You are all over the place posting propaganda which has non basis in fact and it shows.
But let's just look at one of your crazy assertions:
"The Jews only getting HALF of Palestine in which They were a Majority?"
Jews were less than half of the population of Palestine prior to partition and received more than 50% of the land. Why do you outright lie.
Prior to Partition (end of 1946) the population of Palestine was as follows per the:
UNITED
NATIONS A
General Assembly A/364
3 September 1947
OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE SECOND SESSION OF
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
SUPPLEMENT No. 11
UNITED NATIONS
SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON PALESTINE
REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

New York
1947
"Arabs, 1,203,000; Jews, 608,000; others, 35,000; Total, 1,846,000"
A 364 of 3 September 1947
Stop posting bullshit.
The partition was in 1948 not 1946 dummy, and as the link you provided shows the Jews were in the majority
Wrong, resolution 181 was issued on 29 November 1947. The General Assembly Report for used for Resolution 181 was issued on September 3, 1947.
The link shows that the Jews were less than 50% of the population of Palestine prior to the issuance of Resolution 181. Quit bullshitting.
But it did not become live until May 14 1948, so before that date there was no partition. And if you really want to split hairs the actually year of partition was not until 1988. Before that date only the Jews had acted to declare independence under the terms of the Mandate.
Not according to the the people in the know, who happen to be muslims.
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jerusalem (After 1291)
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA Jerusalem After 1291
"...Present condition of the City: (1907 edition)
Jerusalem (El Quds) is the capital of a sanjak and the seat of a mutasarrif directly dependent on the Sublime Porte. In the administration of the sanjak the mutasarrif is assisted by a council called majlis ida ra; the city has a municipal government (majlis baladiye) presided over by a mayor. The total population is estimated at 66,000.
The Turkish census of 1905, which counts only Ottoman subjects, gives these figures:
Jews, 45,000; Moslems, 8,000; Orthodox Christians, 6000; Latins, 2500; Armenians, 950; Protestants, 800; Melkites, 250; Copts, 150; Abyssinians, 100; Jacobites, 100; Catholic Syrians, 50. During the Nineteenth century large suburbs to the north and east have grown up, chiefly for the use of the Jewish colony. These suburbs contain nearly Half the present population...""
