What the hell are you talking about?
(COMMENT)Good post.Don't be ridiculous. Of course politics can change borders. Its called a treaty.
What treaty did Israel have with Palestine to change borders?
Link?
Up until 1988, there was no assemblance of any state entity known to represent the Arab Palestinian. The term "treaty" applies to an international agreement between States.
It was only in December 1988 that the UN acknowledged the proclamation of the State of Palestine by the Palestine National Council on 15 November 1988. Only "States" possess the capacity to be a party to treaties. In the acknowledgement, the UN decided to replace the name Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) with the name "Palestine" in the UN system.
On 6 January 2016, the UN reaffirmed, the State of Palestine [(resolutions 3237 (XXIX), 22 November 1974; 43/177, 15 December 1988; 52/250, 7 July 1998; and 67/19, 29 November 2012)] would be listed as a non-member and an entity having received a standing invitation to participate as an observer in the sessions and the work of the General Assembly.
The initiation of a treaty can be started by any power. But most often by the Major Powers of the World; which have often initiated treaties and armistice arrangements. In the case of the Arab Palestinians, the PLO have been the only good faith representative that has extended themselves successfully in the last two decades.
In August 1988, the Jordanians abandon the West Bank and withdrew its sovereignty leaving it in the hands of the effective control of Israel. While the Israelis did not stand in the way of the PLO Declaration of Independence; which stipulated that the "territory covered was:
For which the General Assemble replied:
• Pursuant to the resolutions of the Arab Summit Conferences and on the basis of the international legitimacy embodied in the resolutions of the United Nations since 1947, and
• Through the exercise by the Palestinian Arab people of its right to self-determination, political independence and sovereignty over its territory:
• Affirms the need to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their sovereignty over their territory occupied since 1967;
(THE LONG and the SHORT OF IT)
In the "Question of Palestine" it takes two to tango. And the Hostile Arab Palestinians, the leadership behind them, which actively work the incite, encourage, and further Jihadist, the Fedayeen, the Insurgents, the Radical Islamist, the Resistance Activist, and Asymmetric Extremist that pursue a course of action specifically targeting civilians and with the intent to harm the Occupation Force in violation of Article 68 GCIV.

"Palestine has been a state since 1924".....because I say so!
I believe this fantastical invention of your mythical "country of Pal'istan has become an OCD-like psychosomatic disorder.
The U.S. State Department Digest of International Law says that the terms of the Treaty of Lausanne provided for the application of the principles of state succession to the "A" Mandates. The Treaty of Versailles (1920) provisionally recognized the former Ottoman communities as independent nations. It also required Germany to recognize the disposition of the former Ottoman territories and to recognize the new states laid down within their boundaries. The Treaty of Lausanne required the newly created states that acquired the territory to pay annuities on the Ottoman public debt, and to assume responsibility for the administration of concessions that had been granted by the Ottomans. A dispute regarding the status of the territories was settled by an Arbitrator appointed by the Council of the League of Nations. It was decided that Palestine and Transjordan were newly created states according to the terms of the applicable post-war treaties. In its Judgment No. 5, The Mavrommatis Palestine Concessions, the Permanent Court of International Justice also decided that Palestine was responsible as the successor state for concessions granted by Ottoman authorities. The Courts of Palestine and Great Britain decided that title to the properties shown on the Ottoman Civil list had been ceded to the government of Palestine as an allied successor state.[25]

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot,. have you and feet left after this faux pas.
By the way it was never an "A" manfate was it, and the treaty you cite deals only with who was responcible for any debts ran up by the inhabitants under the trusteeship of Britain and mandatory.
The treaty of Versailles does not mention palestine at all, and not as a state.
Your trickery failed again tinny and you have egg all over your face
