Palestine still suffers under colonialism.The point might be.....RE: The Official Discussion Thread for who is considered indiginous to Palestine?
⁜→ Hollie, et al,
It was understood at the time, that these were considered part of the self-governing institutions.
(OBSERVATIONS)When were the British ever tasked with establishing a post office, monetary system, etc.?
In 1948, there was no internet. In many countries, the Post Office ran all types of communication. For a start-up government (TurnKey Operation), the Mandatory Power had to help Israel to have a seamless transition between what the British were running and its handover to the Israelis.
There were actions, behind the scenes, that introduced Israel to these critical function. The Arab Palestinians declined to participate.
- An internationally recognized bank had to be put in place to that there would be an Israeli currency on day one, with an umbilical to the international level exchange.
- The utilities and transportation system, heretofore paid by the British, had to be reckoned with, so that trains, water, electricity, and shipping could be maintained.
The military construction engineers, among many other things, built the Allenby Bridge and many Trestles.
The Military, protected many of the assets that were used to establish powerlines and water systems, that would have been stolen if left to the Arabs.
Then, there were organizations like the Black Hand that needed to be dealt with in a more permanent way.
See: United Nations Palestine Commission during its deliberations from 9 January to 17 May 1948. It will give you a better insight into the meaning of "establishing self-governing institutions."

Informative as usual, Rocco.
Ultimately, I was attempting to suggest to PF Tinmore that the attitude of the Arabs-Moslems is that everyone else is tasked with providing for them, catering to their every wish and then, when the Arabs-Moslems fail to take steps to improve their situation, it’s always someone else’s fault.
It’s really quite a contrast to see what others in Vietnam, Korea, Hong Kong and India have accomplished despite their histories. Why is it that so many societies have risen above difficult circumstances and taken control of their destinies as opposed to the perpetual whining of Arabs-Moslems who demand others take responsibility for their continually poor decision making.None of them are occupied.It’s really quite a contrast to see what others in Vietnam, Korea, Hong Kong and India have accomplished despite their histories.
I was in Vietnam when it was occupied. It was wall to wall poverty. Cooking rice over an open fire in three walls and a roof shacks.
They all went through wars, even colonialism for some, and they have all not held on to feeling sorry for themselves and moved on, and made something out of their countries. South Korea is doing just fine, North Korea .....not so well.
North Korea .....not so well.
The non existent country of Palestine suffered from colonialism for over 400 years of Ottoman conquest. Not one riot against them.
They really enjoyed being under the Turks.
Right now, the Arabs are under their own leaders "colonization ", one which demands that each non leader sacrifice their own lives to free the territory they want so that THEY can colonize it, instead of letting the indigenous Jews have a free sovereign country.
So, they continue to not have a choice, because their leaders will never allow them to have their own State, because since 1920 and since 1937, their leaders have been very clear about it.
The Arabs also have no issues with the Hashemites colonizing TranJordan, where that tribe only stepped on around WWI and then went to attack and totally expel it indigenous Jewish Population.
So, your fantasy land/country of Palestine, which never existed, is going to remain only that. A fantasy. While the rest of the world moves on, as they always did, before the Arabs invented the THREE NOs against any Jewish State ever existing on Jewish Ancient Homeland.
Say NO, and deal with the consequences.
