RE: The Official Discussion Thread for who is considered indiginous to Palestine?
※→ P F Tinmore,
et al,
Let's see if we can find, find anything at all, that is actually "TRUE."
ψ The unity of the Palestinian land: The West Bank (including Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip and the occupied land of 1948, one land with all its geography, it is one unit, not part separated from the other, which is a whole nation of the Palestinian people.
That is true. That is Palestinian land as defined by international borders.
(COMMENT)
First: The boundary, like many boundaries throughout the world, changes over time to accommodate new conditions. What you are calling an international border is not now, nor has it ever been, an international border. It is a series of segments that today consist of the Borders of Egypt and Jordan (by treaty), the enforced border of the Golan Heights annexation and the Blue Line segment under the 2000 letter with Lebanon.
Second: The territory the Hostile Arab Palestinians, and yourself, call the international border "which is a whole nation of the Palestinian" IS NOT the "nation of Palestine." It was the territory formerly under the Mandate of Palestine, and considered the Government of Palestine as administered solely by British Serving Officers and Foreign Service Officers, as lead by the High Commissioner. That government was a legal entity that dissolved on the termination of the Mandate and was succeeded by the UN Palestine Commission, the successor government. The State of Israel was declared and recognized and altered the boundaries yet again. The 1948 War initiated by the Arab League, washed-out the opening boundaries of Israel and substituted the demarcations of the four Armistice Agreements, with Israel and the four principle conflict parties. The Armistice Lines with Egypt were dissolved in 1979 and replaced by the new Treaty negotiated International Boundary with Egypt. The Armistice Lines with Jordan were dissolved in 1994 and replaced by the new Treaty negotiated International Boundary with Jordan. the formed Armistice Line with Syria was dissolved under the Annexation Law. The Armistice Line or border with Lebanon is currently under the demarcation agreed upon in the Letter dated 12 June 2000 from the Permanent Representative of Lebanon.
Third: The so-called "State of Palestine," does not have any actual sovereign borders it controls. The Term Palestine, since 2012, can only now → generally recognized as the Government of Palestine.
The Palestinians are citizens of their territory by treaty, by international and domestic law. With this comes the universal, inherent, inalienable rights.
(COMMENT)
None of this gets them citizenship. The Article 30, Treaty of Lausanne, only formalizes the citizenship already in force by the High Commissioner.
- The right to self determination without external interference.
- The right to independence and sovereignty.
- The right to territorial integrity.
(COMMENT)
These three "Rights" that the Arab Palestinians claim are just as applicable to the → (wait for it) → the Israelis. The difference is that the Jewish people participated in the program if establishing self-governing institutions → and the Steps Preparatory to Independence. → That culminated in the creation of a nation in 1948. The Arab Palestinians rejected each invitation to join the process and instead decided to issue threats and embark on a path of violence.
has the right to violate the rights of others. So, when the Palestinians make this claim it is in compliance with international law.
(COMMENT)
These three RIGHTS of the Palestinians do not establish an obligation for any nation → least of all the State of Israel.
AND
I think that the currents events of the day show that the Hostile Arab Palestinian puppets of HAMAS do not have the slightest respect for those very same rights when dealing with Israel; which built a nation that is higher on the Human Development Index than any other nation in the Middle East
(including oil-rich nations).
The Palestinians are not asking for anything special. They merely ask that their inalienable rights be respected.
(COMMENT)
"RESPECT" is earned. And what have the Arab Palestinians done that the Israels, or anyone else, should give them respect?
Most Respectfully,
