RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: This is wrong: "The Order in Council was when Palestine was still an enemy occupied territory."
(COMMENT)
The Interim Report on
the Civil Administration began on 1 JULY 1920; three months after the decisions of the Allied Powers at San Remo.
The Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA) ended on 1 JULY 1920 with the beginning of the Civil Administration.
The Palestine Order in Council was issued two years afterwords on: 10 August 1922. Palestine did not become a state
[a) a permanent population; b) a defined territory; c) government; and d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states]. In fact, there are still arguments as to whether the Arabs of Palestine were ever able to establish a functional government over a defined territory.

In fact, there are still arguments as to whether the Arabs of Palestine were ever able to establish a functional government over a defined territory.
Being occupied doesn't help.
Being helpless and ineffective is not much of an excuse. I have a sense that your one-liners are merely attempts to sidestep accepting responsibly.
The inability of the Arabs-Moslems to participate in any steps toward establishing a functioning government and establishing sovereign control of territory falls to a failure of the Arabs-Moslems. There have been nothing but excuses for decades.
That is ridiculous.
Palestine has always had a functioning government.
Even when it was occupied by the Ottoman Empire, the entirely local government structure was manned by Palestinians.
During the British Mandate occupation, it again was almost entirely Palestinians who ran the country, dealt with sanitation and water, etc.
The ONLY thing the Palestinians were lacking was defense, and that was a deliberate fault caused by the British.
And it is obvious the Palestinians currently supply a perfectly adequate government in Gaza and the West Bank, where they are allowed to by the illegally occupying Israelis.
The country that has yet failed to provide for a government capable of not constantly committing war crimes, is Israel.
Never has a country been so in violation of international law.
If there is any country that should be labeled rogue and taken over by the UN, it is Israel.
Going back to 1949, immediately Israel committed war crimes by not allowing refugees who fled the violence, to return to their homes and properties. That is criminal by any definition.
