RE: The 100 Year War on Palestine
SUBTOPIC: Wild Exaggeration - or - What Is...
※→ et al,
(OPENING) The people engaged in this conversation and discussions must be able to extrapolate what was commonly understood as "Customary Law" then (late 19th Century - early 20th Century) - as it unfolds today in the 21st Century.
Humanitarian Occupation → Not a term of art in international law, humanitarian occupation, clearly an extrapolation from the so-called right of humanitarian intervention has been defined as ‘the assumption of governing authority over a state or portion thereof by an international actor for the express purpose of creating liberal, democratic order’: Fox, Humanitarian Occupation ( 2008 ), 4. Its salient elements are the cessation of human rights abuses and the establishment of a new and democratic government (hence ‘humanitarian’), and the administration of the territory by an (interim) governing authority akin to that of belligerent occupation (hence ‘occupation’): ibid ., 3–4.

We must also remember that the Hague Convention (1907) and the Geneva Convention Series are considered to be the definitive source of basic data when it comes to either bothInternational and Non-International Armed Conflicts (AICs and NIACs)... The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is the custodian of the Customary and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Database. When the Israelis say, ever so quietly, they are, in part (with reservations) exercising the Humanitarian Occupation. And that is an important statement in itself. Prior to the 1948 decision on Self-Determination (Israeli Independence), much of what we talk about today is new. The conditions are in a state of constant evolution.

.
This is but one example of the Arab Palestinian Drama Queen Stance. "Selfish" implies that the Israelis are principally concerned with issues central to revenue-generating prospects
(greater business connections, commercial lines of imports and exports, technology development) and the improvement in the quality of life for Israeli citizens.
You simply do not see that in the ways and means of the Arab Palestinian leaders.

(COMMENT)
Again, you are speaking out of context. The issue of Jerusalem is NOT a real estate determination. It is a matter of territorial sovereignty. The issue here is really a question of the Arab Palestinian decisions on destiny. Do the Arab Palestinians really want to lag further and further behind in human development - or - would the Arab Palestinians like to hitch their wagon to Israel? Remember, Israel ranks higher than any nation in the Middle East.
(COMMENT)
Our friend "Ria Longhorn" right on target. The Dan Stela fragment does mention the reality of that time (House of David). But I question the evaluation of the scientific methodology. Is the Stela fragment a "Biblical" (faith-based analysis) discovery - or - is it a true Archaeology (science-based evaluations) Discovery?
But all that aside, even if all the outrageous claims and demands being made by the Hostile Arab Palestinian component
(COMMENT)
In my opinion, you are using the term "evidence" quite out of context.
diaspora.
In the 700s BC the Assyrian Empire captured northern Israel. Early in the 500s BC, Babylonians conquered southern Israel, destroyed the Temple, and sent some of the Jews away into slavery. This event marked the beginning of the Diaspora, which means “scattering.” From then on, the Jewish people were no longer together in one place.

evidences of international law
An ambiguous term, ‘sometimes referring to the substantive rules set forth in treaties, judicial decisions and State papers, and sometimes being confined to “documentary sources” in which the substantive rules of international law find expression.
SOURCES: See Rousseau, I [Principes Généraux du Droit International Public] , 109 ff . In the first sense “evidences of international law” is identical with international law and in the second meaning it may be taken literally as indicating where documentary evidence of international law may be found’: Briggs, The Law of Nations, (2nd ed.), 44. Though the Committee on the Progressive Development of International Law and its Codification, which drew up the plans for the International Law Commission, employed the term (Report, U.N. Doc. A/AC. 10/51, para. 18), the Commission’s Statute speaks rather of ‘evidence’ of customary law in the context of making such more readily available (art. 24). See Parry, The Sources and Evidences of International Law ( 1965 ), passim; Briggs, The International Law Commission ( 1975 ), 203–204
.All the analysis is not yet complete. I'm waiting for the Scientific Methodology to make there position known.
