P F Tinmore, et al,
Now that is actually kind-of funny.
(COMMENT)And who would that be?
The question, in response to the reply, becomes an issue.
In asking the question: "And who would that be?" --- one has to ponder who is "who."
Or is it a question of competency? A country, to be a country has to have the capacity to enter into political relations.
- Do we not know who the Palestinian Authority (PA) is?
- Do we not know who HAMAS is?
Or is something less difficult?
- Are we asking if the PA is competent to stand the test as a viable government?
- Are we asking if HAMAS can to stand the test as a viable and competent government?
What does the question --- question?
- Are we challenging the successor government to the 1988 Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) having the right to represent the Palestinian?
- Are we challenging the PLO right to declare independence in the name of the Palestinian People?
Most Respectfully,

Is this the post you are resopnding to?
Then why do you deny the Jews their rights to a NATIONAL HOME, FREE DETERMINATION, INDEPENDENCE, SOVEREINGTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY by claiming the Jews are invaders and land thieves. The land was destined for the NATIONAL HOME of the Jews by the legal owners at the time.
If you thought the Jews had the same rights then you would be demanding sanctions against the P.A. and hamas for their CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
The question was about the highlighted sentence.
Once again it was the LoN who signed the treaty with the Ottomans to transfer sovereignty of the land in accordance with International Law at the time.
League of Nations mandate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All of the territories subject to League of Nations mandates were previously controlled by states defeated in World War I, principally Imperial Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The mandates were fundamentally different from the protectorates in that the Mandatory power undertook obligations to the inhabitants of the territory and to the League of Nations.
The process of establishing the mandates consisted of two phases:
1.the formal removal of sovereignty of the state previously controlling the territory
2.the transfer of mandatory powers to individual states among the Allied Powers
Puts it very clearly the land changed ownership from Ottoman to LoN
