RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ et al,
In the Timeline and Chronology of what is relevant and important over the establishment of the Jewish State, too many panelist and discussions get bogged-down in historical complications that had a philosophical impact on why the leaders at the San Remo Convention thought the way they did ⟴ and why the post-World War II leaders thought the way they did. These were •
The Causal Effects • of discrete and indivisible manifestation of political and impartial adjudications of long-overdue wrongs the Jewish People faced over an extended period of history. And in the aftermath of The Great War (1914-18) and World War II (1939-45) leaders of great renown emerged and made such decisions that reshaped parts of the world and corrected injustices they recognized from the past as they saw it. One such issue addressed by these leaders was the issue of the Jews. It was recognized by both the post-War leaders of the two World Wars. And these leaders made decisions of such political and diplomatic momentum that we still grapple with them today.
No nation is perfect and no system of government is perfect. These are two assumptions that we have to keep in mind.

While interesting, and somewhat explanatory, historical facts are not really once a decision has been actually implemented. I know we read where people have argued that A/RES/181 (II) was never implemented. That is a philosophical expression and interpretation of fancy. It is NOT relevant to reality. Why?
(RHETORICAL) Because an actual physical examination on the ground discloses that a real country exists. It has people who control the area bounded by actual physical boundary markers. The reality of it cannot be denied.
Another very odd feature observable in the discussion is the forced imposition of views. Relative to this discussion, we find that one side makes the claim: "The Balfour Declaration, the Palestine Mandate, and everything that has been based on them, are deemed null and void." And while today, The Balfour Declaration, the Palestine Mandate may be considered historical documents, "everything that has been based on them" is as real as ever; not "null and void." It is an invalid and unsound claim → valid IF and ONLY IF all the premises are true; assuming that we are all in the same reality.
One other flight of fantasy needs to be brushed up against reality. In the argument of the "Right of Return" how many actual Arab Palestinians today once lived in Israel to claim a "Right to Return?" Given that life expectancy before 1970 was less than 70 years old, how many Arab Palestinians are still alive, assuming such a "Right" actually exist?
(THE POINT)
As the San Remo Convention remarked about the historical connection, the reality is, that over 8 Million People are living in Israel. Israel has a permanent population; a defined territory; government; and a demonstrated capacity to enter into relations with the other states. That is the "physical" reality. You can go there, count the people, walk the perimeter of the nation, and reflect on all the foreign agreements Israel has signed. Anyone can readily observe that the territory formerly administered under the Mandate of Palestine is NOT an indivisible territorial unit, as some Arab Palestinians would claim.
Finally, to claim that "Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine;" or that "there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad" is simply NOT a part of reality.
IF one would wish to remain both sound and valid in the contributions towards peace,
THEN one would have to avoid unrealistic ideas or fantastic notions, a pipe dreams such as these.

Most Respectfully,
