The drive of political zionism to establish a settler State in Palestine was met by violent resistance from the Palestinians, and this situation simmered until it boiled over in 1936.RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
We are talking about a time period just over a century-long; if you start the clock with the Balfour Declaration. And in that 100 year period, there were all kinds of exchange in views → as to the various perspectives.
BUT, in the framework of the Mandate that was agreed upon by the Allied Powers, the Jewish Agency (a World Zionist Executive) was formally recognized as a "public body." And it was through the interpretation of this language that the Jewish Agency derived international legitimacy and diplomatic representation before the League of Nations. And it was precisely the lack of embrionic‐state and progress towards self-governing institutions, that the Palestinians become at a disadvantage in the ability to effectively influence public opinion anywhere in the world. This was compounded, in 1923, by the fact that the Arab Higher Committee (AHC) rejected, for a third time, the proposed creation of an Arab Agency to bring the AHC up to the same functional level similar → to the Zionist Executive (the Jewish Agency). Of course, by rejecting the offer made by the first High Commissioner of Palestine (Herbert Samuel), the AHC irreparably crippled the Palestinian interest.
(COMMENT)There was not going to be any self-governance in a settler colonial setting. The plan was (and still is) to move the Palestinians out and the settlers in.constant bickering with the Jewish Community, their inability to work cooperatively with the High Commissioner on the establishing self-governing institutions
Your interpretation is entirely wrong, as wrong as the decisions that continued to compound self-inflicted political wounds that retarded the establishment of quasi-self-governing institutions to balance the equations with the Jewish Agency.
The idea that displacement of Arab Palestinians is a condition set upon themselves. The Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) made it imperative for the Israelis to institute rear area security measures in order to protect themselves from an internal security problems well behind the FEBA.
The more the HoAP crippled themselves, the more they tried to blame their weaknesses and failures on the Israelis. With them, the Arab Palestinians always blame someone else.

The King-Crane Commission had reported that Jewish colonists were planning a radical transformation of Palestine:
Similarly, a number of Jewish organizations such as the Colonisation Department of the Zionist Organization, financed by the Keren ha-Yesod, were actively engaged in acquisition of land both for individual immigrant families as well as for the Yishuv or Jewish settlements. Several of these organizations had been operating since the nineteenth century, notably the Palestine Jewish Colonisation Association (PICA)*.
"The fact came out repeatedly in the Commission's conference with Jewish representatives, that the Zionists looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the present non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine, by various forms of purchase". 67/

"(e) The Agency shall promote agricultural colonization based on Jewish labour ... it shall be deemed to be a matter of principle that Jewish labour shall be employed ..."

The report noted in the strongest terms the effect on indigenous Palestinians of Zionist policies.
The Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem Part I: 1917-1947 - Study (30 June 1978)
"The effect of the Zionist colonization policy on the Arab. Actually the result of the purchase of land in Palestine by the Jewish National Fund has been that land has been extraterritorialized. It ceases to be land from which the Arab can gain any advantage either now or at any time in the future. Not only can he never hope to lease or to cultivate it, but, by the stringent provisions of the lease of the Jewish National Fund, he is deprived for ever from employment on that land.
And you keep saying that it is not a settler colonial project. One that continues today.
The protests reject that policy.
That long cut and paste demonstrates the rage that grips you at the existence of Israel and your insensate Jew hatreds.
You demonstrate a real pathology.
If he could just be honest, and say he has a 'thing' for Jews.
