Do you mean the colonial project that Britain and the Zionists talked openly about in their own documentation.And you don't know either. However, the Zionist settler colonial project is a violation of international law. Local laws? They were not even mentioned in the article.He may have a point.["International Law" according to a Palestinian ]
Ma'an publishes, with a straight face, an article by a self-described international law expert named Samir Dweikat describing exactly why Jews have no right to buy land in British Mandate Palestine under international law.
The "logic" is fairly bizarre, but the argument seems to go like this: After the Ottoman Empire dissolved, the Palestinian Arabs gained legal ownership of everything from the river to the sea (even though these boundaries were created by the British and French.)
The laws that governed the area of what became British Mandate Palestine were -Palestinian Arab laws!

Palestinian lawyer says all Jewish land purchases, ever, violate international law ~ Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News
That is true. Drawing up the framework of nationality, Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne stated:After the Ottoman Empire dissolved, the Palestinian Arabs gained legal ownership of everything from the river to the sea (even though these boundaries were created by the British and French.)
“Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty is detached from Turkey will become ipso facto, in the conditions laid down by the local law, nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred.”
Those are the rules of state succession laid down in international law. The land was ceded to Palestine and the Palestinians became the citizens of that successor state. The Palestinians are the sovereigns of that territory.
As far as laws go, I am not too sure. Again, the rules of state succession say that the laws of the predecessor state rule until the people of the successor state change them. I don't know what the Turkish laws were in regard to immigration and land purchase. However, I do know that Turkey was opposed to the Zionist colonial project so there may be something there.
The British never would allow the Palestinians to pass their own laws so whatever Turkey had would be the laws he may be referring to.
"As far as laws go, I am not too sure."
Obviously. That's why it's always worth a chuckle when you issue your legal briefs. They're briefly amusing.
Your typical cut and paste slogans are a hoot.
Lecture us further with your in depth knowledge of International Law. Or, thrill us with more cliche's and slogans such as your Pom Pom flailing Zionist settler colonial project ™
Now the lying sacks of shit in Israel try to rewrite their own history.
