RE: The NEWER Official Discussion Thread for the creation of Israel, the UN and the British Mandate
⁜→ P F Tinmore, Shusha, et al,
It might help if you just took a moment to evaluate what our friend "Shusha" is saying; before dismissing it out of hand. As said many times bef0ore, the right of self-determination is what it is. And it is the same for everyone.
So,when did the Zionists change from colonialism to self determination?
(COMMENT)
The Zionist were never the "colonialist"
(of a political nature) as your questions suggest. Nor were they invaders having been invited "all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish national home."
Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples said:
The Special Committee annually reviews the list of Territories to which the Declaration is applicable and makes recommendations as to its implementation. It also hears statements from NSGTs
(Non-Self-Governing Territories) representatives, dispatches visiting missions, and organizes seminars on the political, social and economic situation in the Territories. Further, the Special Committee annually makes recommendations concerning the dissemination of information to mobilize public opinion in support of the decolonization process, and observes the Week of Solidarity with the Peoples of Non-Self-Governing Territories.

Whether you look at it as a matter of the "Zionist", if you look at it as a matter of the Jewish People, or if you look at it as a matter of the Allied Powers exercising their authority, obligation and control over the areas that were Occupied as Enemy Territory at the conclusion of The Great War, this nonsense about the foreign invaders is simply a childish view of the The Great War (
WWI). The rights and title over the Occupied Enemy Territory that was renounced by the Ottoman Empire/Turkish Republic at the conclusion of the War were NOT placed in the hands of the inhabitants. The "future of these territories" were placed in the hands of the Allied Powers
by Treaty (Article 16). No matter what the Arab Palestinians
(of today - or by any name you wish to assign them) may think, the rights and title are not negated in favor of the inhabitants of the Occupied Enemy Territory based on what they think is their rights or claims to the sovereignty of the territories.
You should take note, as I'm sure many already have, that the UN Special Committee does NOT consider the territories, often referred to as the Occupied Territories, as falling under the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples
[General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960)].
Most Respectfully,
