RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
SUBTOPIC: The Plan
⁜→ Rigby5, et al,
Elections are possible in Gaza, but that would not prove much, since the majority of Palestinians live in land occupied by Israel.
(COMMENT)
I don't understand your comment here. I thought that Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005. Help me out and walk me through this...
Look at the 1948 UN partition.
Jerusalem is no where near Israel.
The legal capital of Israel is Tel Aviv.
(COMMENT)
No political plan survives intact after the first conflict engagement. The UN Partition Plan • Recommendation • A/RES/181 (II) is no different. In fact, the implementation of A/RES/181 (II) Recommendation fell apart in the first 24 hours after the Mandate terminated when the Arab League jumped across the borders and began their military campaigns.
◈ Jerusalem was not supposed to be part of the Arab State either. Part III of the Recommendation
◈ The Part II Boundaries for the Arab State and the Jewish State fell by the wayside and the Arab League occupied the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
◈ There is no such thing as a "LEGAL" or "ILLEGAL" Capital except as may be stipulated under domestic law. External Powers do not determine where the Capitol City is for another indepedent sovereignty (otherwise it would not be an idependent sovereignty).
◈ The seat of government for Israel is determined by Israel, just in the same way as it is in America. And it is the functional characteristics that determine of that location that practically stipulates where the seat of government is located.
• About 2km due West (270º) of the Jewish Quarter is the Government Campus. In the Government Campus of Jerusalem you will find:
✧ The Prime Minister Office
✧ The Knesset
✧ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
✧ The Supreme Court
✧ The Ministry of Finance
Most Respectfully,
