The Ottoman Empire conquered the territory before it was illegal. Then the territory was ceded to Palestine in the Treaty of Lausanne. Then Israel conquered the territory when conquest was illegal.According to your logic, back then ownership was of whatever empire to conquer the land.
When conquest is illegal and acquisition is not self-determination, then Israel couldn't
conquer Palestine, but only the territory of British and Arabian prince's colonies.
So how can Palestine ever have legitimate independence?
And was the conquest of Gaza by Hamas legal
because of an "attack by the opposition"?
That's just so incredibly ignorant.The Ottoman Empire conquered the territory before it was illegal. Then the territory was ceded to Palestine in the Treaty of Lausanne. Then Israel conquered the territory when conquest was illegal.

The CBC of course apologised becase Palestine is NOT a country. That’s an uncontroversial fact.You can’t even say the P-word without it causing problems: an anchor on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation once had to apologise for using the word Palestine (instead of “Palestinian territories”), for God’s sake.
This is a smear, plain an simple. Mahdawi doesn’t provide even one example of “pro-Israel” voices assusing Palestinians of antisemitism for asserting that they “exist”. A competent Guardian editor would have called her out on this baseless accusation – one she used in a previous column – which is consistent with the Corbynista narrative that accusations of antisemitism are cynically used by Jews and others in order to silence Palestinains.Being Palestinian means constantly being told you don’t exist or being accused by certain pro-Israel voices of being antisemitic simply because you assert that you do exist.
(COMMENT)Treaty of Lausanne doesn't even mention 'Palestine', can you find it?
Then what makes the Hamas conquest of Gaza legal again?
Did they acquire any territory from 'Palestine'?
It did not mention Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, or Tranjordan either.Treaty of Lausanne doesn't even mention 'Palestine', can you find it?
Hamas did not acquire anything. Gaza is still Palestine.Then what makes the Hamas conquest of Gaza legal again?

Indeed, you have been dancing around that question for years.the parties to the conflict will know their ground (sovereign territory).
Why do the Arabs occupying the place call it Gaza?Hamas did not acquire anything. Gaza is still Palestine.
The Treaty of Lausanne was never intended to invent Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, or Tranjordan. The Treaty never invented the "country of Pal'istan.It did not mention Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, or Tranjordan either.
Do you have a point?
Um, no. League of Nations transferred sovereignty over “Palestine” to Britain. British Mandate resulted in Israeli statehood, endorsed by the UN.The Ottoman Empire conquered the territory before it was illegal. Then the territory was ceded to Palestine in the Treaty of Lausanne. Then Israel conquered the territory when conquest was illegal.
In the Islamic terrorist free-for-all known as Welfare Fraud'istan, fortunes are being made by stealing money from charities.
''Hamas's meddling in Gaza charities is a massive moral failure''
Oh, yeah. Lets criticize the moral failure of Islamic terrorists. Maybe they'll all convert from Sunni to Shiite and mend their ways.

Hamas's meddling in Gaza charities is a massive moral failure | Al Bawaba
Hamas’s shenanigans have severely jeopardized the future of the very people it claims to serve.www.albawaba.com
Last week, allegations arose that Hamas, the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip, had diverted tens of millions of dollars from three major humanitarian organizations to support their own ends. For many this kind of behavior reminded them of Hamas’s rival Palestinian faction, Fatah, which was known for corruption, bribe-taking and nepotism.
On Aug. 4, the Gaza director of World Vision, one of the biggest NGOs in the world, was indicted for siphoning $7.2 million to Hamas annually over the course of five years. The World Vision official, named as Mohammad Al Halabi, allegedly funneled construction materials and food and medical aid packages to Hamas rather than to Gaza’s impoverished civilians.
Not true. Britain never annexed or otherwise claimed sovereignty over the territory.Um, no. League of Nations transferred sovereignty over “Palestine” to Britain. British Mandate resulted in Israeli statehood, endorsed by the UN.
How is that? You claim that the "country of Pal'istan'' was invented in 1924 by the Treaty of Lausanne.Not true. Britain never annexed or otherwise claimed sovereignty over the territory.
Interesting that when Britain left, they handed Palestine over to the UN not to Israel.
