You have a problem with the word 'Mandate' don't you.
The Mandate for Palestine did end, but the San Remo Conference's Mandate hasn't ended, and the Jewish people's rights to Israel including the area known as the West Bank is protected in Law in Article 80 of the San Remo Mandate....
what evidence do you have that the San Remo Conference didn't end?
...Didn't it? Show me where it never said all of Palestine would be a Jewish state....
No where in the San Remo Conference does it state that all of Palestine shall be used as a Jewish homeland. Such a claim is mere fantasy.
...Israeli Arabs/Christians/Catholics/Mormons/Treehuggers etc are given full respect and their religious and civil rights are protected. It is those in Palestinian Authority controlled areas and of course Gaza that are at risk of their civil and religious rights being violated.
Israel has been confiscating Arab private land in the West Bank to be used for Israeli settlements from 1967 to 1979. This is illegal and violates the 4th GC. According to the 4th GC, private land can only be confiscated to be used for military purposes. The Israeli Supreme Court in 1979 decided that it is illegal for Israel to confiscate private land for military purposes and then turn it into civilian settlements.
Since then Israel has been confiscating Arab private land and converting it into State land, but according to the 4th GC state land in Occupied Territory can only be used by the Occupier for the good of all peoples in the territory, and Israel has been using this land just for Israeli settlements, roads for the settlements, and other settlement infrastructure.
All of these policies that discriminate against Arabs in favor of the Israelis, clearly violate the San Remo Conference's condition that non-Jewish civil rights in Palestine must be protected.
The Conference ended but the San Remo Mandate didn't, (I am sure English is a second language of yours).
The San Remo Mandate specified in its final resolution " it should continue to administer the territories under the Mandate for the wellbeing and development of the peoples concerned in accordance with the obligations contained in the respective mandates." For Palestine that meant the Jewish People.
The Jewish people's rights were preserved in Article 80 of the San Remo Mandate. (Please stop your confusion with the words conference and Palestinian Mandate as we are specifically talking about the San Remo Mandate here.
Land is used for settlements but of course it is done legally unless it is deemed by Courts to be illegal.
When the hostile arab population become peaceful then perhaps there can be give and take on both sides. However I don't see that happening.
