Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
SUBTOPIC: HISTORICAL CONCEPT
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
PREFACE: As it is in reality, trying to put meaning to terms used a Century ago by the Allied Supreme Council is hard to do. This is especially true when changes by member political heads alter the agreements made. In terms of the post-War Middle East, almost as soon as the Treaty of Sevres was overtaken by events. It did not actually alter the reality on the ground. It was barely four years later that the new and improved Treaty was agreed upon and signed. While the diplomatic effort had some serious kinks in it, it did not have much of an actual impact on the Mandate for Palestine in its application to the territory.
(COMMENT)
.
The framework and intent of the 1920 San Remo Conference of the Allied Supreme Council authorized the very first key documents that set the tone, parameters, practical application, and the intent the Principal Allied Powers have agreed on; the Mandate for Palestine. The first key mandate set by the Allied Powers was outlined:
Few people understand the "Civil and Religious Rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine." What were these "Rights" the Ottoman Empire bestowed upon the anti-Israeli and pro-Hostile Arab Palestinian." Remembering that the Ottoman Empire had been the sovereign power for hundreds of years. The Allied Powers also expressed three key applications pertaining to: The Jewish National Home, Jewish Immigration, citizenship:
◈. political, administrative, and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home
◈. shall facilitate Jewish immigration
◈. shall be included in this law provisions framed so as to facilitate the acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by Jews who take up their permanent residence in Palestine.
.
I say all this because there was no such thing as a settler-colonial project or "process started before 1948." Whatever you saw, or think you saw or ever heard of, at the end of the day, the multinational Allied Powers decided it shall be done. Now if the anti-Israeli and pro-Hostile Arab Palestinian intentionally create such trouble as to cripple the environment and alter the arena such that it becomes smaller and smaller, trouble enriched, and a choking atmosphere for the anti-Israeli and pro-Hostile Arab Palestinian, then that explains the problem.
You need to read the very first intent (
◈ supra) of the Allied Powers.
Most Respectfully,
