The immigrants will be welcomed, if they integrate and swear
allegiance to their Palestinian hosts, a bit like immigrants to the US
That is the "Jewish National Home" planned by the Mandate.
Comments and questions:
1. If you two would like to "welcome" the immigrants, stop calling them colonists and their immigration the colonialist project. Stop disparaging them for being immigrants and start acknowledging their Jewish National Home.
2. What does it mean to "integrate" and to "swear allegiance" to their "Palestinian hosts"? Be specific. What would that actually look like? How would you know that has been accomplished?
3. So, we can have a Jewish National Home -- as long as its not "Jewish" nor a "Nation". As long as our rights (inalienable and inherent) to self-determination and self-government are denied. As long as we never actualize independence as the Jewish people. As long as we consider ourselves "Palestinian" and never Israel.
Don't blame me. That is what the Mandate said.
No it didnt, it said that the groups should learn to live in peace, and the arab muslims refused .
Of course that is not true, but keep spewing Israeli bullshit.
Problems understanding written English again as the mandate did say what I claimed and not what you claimed

English, Arabic and Hebrew shall be the official languages of Palestine. Any statement or inscription in Arabic on stamps or money in Palestine shall be repeated in Hebrew and any statement or inscription in Hebrew shall be repeated in Arabic.
See how I am right and you are wrong because I have learnt how to read treaties, while you go on what some islamonazi LIAR says is written
