The Palestinians wanted all of Palestine?They can't just because they don't have a country to rule!
Maybe Israelis and Palestinians should split in two Palestine then they could have two indipendent countries (a jewish one for Israelis and a muslim one for Palestinians)
That was done in 1923 and the arab muslims wanted it all, so that is why we have the problems we do in the M.E.
That was not Palestine. That was just Jerusalem.Indeed, the Muslims/Christians were about 93% of the population at the turn of the century. With their mass immigration their numbers zoomed up to 65% by 1947.Israel did not acquire land. At no time has Israel acquired any territory. Step by step.
The Ottoman Empire was dissolved.
The Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) ceded all claims to territory, of which, "Palestine" was part.
The territory was ceded to the control of the Allied Powers for the purpose of self-determination and self-government of various groups as they became capable of said government.
One of those groups was the Jewish People and the territory ceded for their self-determination and self-government was what was left of "Palestine" after Jordan's people were given its own self-determination.
The Jewish People, having completed the necessary steps, having established a government, DECLARED its independence (from the Mandate of the Allied Powers) just as Jordan and Syria and Iraq declared their independence. It is the declaration of independence and the recognition of independence which brings a State into being. Done and done. Israel is a State on all of the territory.
Jordan and Egypt sign peace treaties with Israel delineating the borders between their respective nations and Israel.
Much later, 1988, Palestine declared its own independence (from Israel). Israel essentially accepted this in principle. A negotiated peace treaty between Israel and the government of Palestine permitted Palestine temporary government over Gaza and Area A and temporary limited government over Area B. Israel maintains complete control over Area C (they maintain control -- they already had it both legally and effectively). ALL final dispositions were left to negotiation and treaty.
So, P F Tinmore , where do you think I have this wrong and why?The territory was ceded to the control of the Allied Powers for the purpose of self-determination and self-government of various groups as they became capable of said government.
No they didn't. Read Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne.
Where does it say what you claim in article 30 then
SECTION II .
NATIONALITY.
ARTICLE 30.
Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty is detached from Turkey will become ipsofacto, in the conditions laid down by the local law, nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred.
This means that the arab muslims that arrived after JULY 24, 1923 are not covered by this treaty. You cant make a treaty apply to an aspect it was never meant to cover, and as we all know the arab muslim illegally migrated to palestine to swell their numbers
Were they, then why does the Ottoman census show the Jews to be the majority. Do explain why you mix data from separate era's to arrive at a figure that meets with your POV . Did you forget that in 1931 the first official census or head count included trans Jordan. The census or head count in 1947 did not include Jordan so is out by at least 30%.

"...Present condition of the City: (1907 edition)
Jerusalem (El Quds) is the capital of a sanjak and the seat of a mutasarrif directly dependent on the Sublime Porte.

The Palestinians wanted all of Palestine? How dare they.That was done in 1923 and the arab muslims wanted it all, so that is why we have the problems we do in the M.E.They can't just because they don't have a country to rule! Maybe Israelis and Palestinians should split in two Palestine then they could have two independent countries (a jewish one for Israelis and a muslim one for Palestinians)

The real Palestinians - both Jew and Arab - created a state in '48 and are now called "Israelis." The mostly itinerant Arabs - an amalgam of Arabs from the region attracted to the new and growing economic hub and its jobs - didn't become "Palestinians" until after the Six Day War.
According to UN standards, any person (and their descendants) who spent two years in “Palestine" prior to 1948 - with or without proof - is now considered a "Palestinian" and was immediately eligible for "3 hots & a cot." But for its political importance in the war against the Jew, the term has no significance.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is home to the largest group of "Palestinians" (now Jordanians) and indeed was once part of the Palestine Mandate.
Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist:
“Why is it that on June 4, 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a ‘Palestinian’?”
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem (1967). Then all of a sudden we were ‘Palestinians'. We removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a ‘Palestinian’ flag”.
“When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out.”
QUOTES BY WALID SHOEBAT | A-Z Quotes
P F Tinmore, et al,
I think you misread the tense. This statement was made in connection with the post-Agreement phase. Relative to the comment made by MJB12741: "The worst punishment Israel could inflict on the Palestinians would be self government,with self determination without having Israel to suck off of to support them any longer."
This is all about what happens after (if ever) the Israelis and the Palestinians agree and begin a withdrawal from the West Bank.UNRWA said:The United States government has announced a new contribution of nearly US$ 68 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), including more than US$ 3.8 million for the construction of a multipurpose school building in Zohour to replace the current rented facilities and more than $1.3 million for the extension of Jordan Field operations support office (OSO). The majority of the nearly $68 million contribution will go to the Agency's Programme Budget to support more than 170 UNRWA schools in Jordan; as well as its health clinics and social services programmes, which help Palestine refugees’ efforts to stay healthy and secure.

(COMMENT)Not true. The money the US gives to the "Palestinians" is to protect Israel.Where as, the US donor contribution to the Palestinians would probably go down; because they have virtually no expected return on any US investment.
First, the return on US Dollar Investment given to the Palestinians is not now, nor expected to be in the future, about the protection of Israel; not even the US Security Assistance funding for PA Security Forces. It is about setting the conditions to meet Article 43 HR (law and order) prior to an agreed upon withdrawal from the West Bank.
The effectiveness of U.S. assistance to the Palestinians in furthering U.S. policy objectives might be defined by answers to the following questions:
( Quote From U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians CRS RS22967 18 MAR 16)
How does it affect U.S. influence with Palestinians in working toward regional policy objectives?
How does it address short-term (i.e., humanitarian) needs?
How does it address longer-term development, governance, and reform efforts?
Again, you misunderstand the various purposes for the various kinds of funding, and how the change in conditions changes the direction and focus of funding.
If the Palestinians were to come forth with acceptable conditions that actually (not theoretically) lead to a withdrawal, the US will in all probability, cut a substantial portion of funding to the PA (or successor government); simply because the US would not want that funding to be used in hostile activities against Israel. Likewise, the US would increase funding to Israel's defensive capabilities to offset the potential for staging Arab Forces (Hostile Arab Palestinians) within 9 miles of Netanya, 10 miles from Beersheba, and 11 miles from Tel Aviv.
Currently, the US is getting virtually no return on its investment from the US Dollars and equipment provided to the PA, relative to Israeli Security. In fact, one only needs to read this Discussion Group and watch as violent events occur and the low and order declines relative to the safety and security of Israeli Citizens. Incident levels are increasing --- not decreasing.

You don't give military aid to a place that has no generally agreed upon govt. And is split between rival factions that want to kill each other. . Are you nutz? That shouldn't even BE on the table until the proper leadership and authorities are in place.
The security forces in the illegal "PA" in the West Bank is armed, paid, and trained by the US to take out Hamas and other resistance factions. The so called unity government wants to put those forces in Gaza. Of course Hamas is opposed to that. Hamas ran those US supported forces out of Gaza in 2007.
That is a British Mandate map published by the UN.Indeed, but that was out the window after the Treaty of Lausanne.Actually it was palestine as that is what the Ottomans refered to palestine as, the sanjak of Jerusalem
Was it, or is this yet another deflection because you have been shown to be truly ignorant of the truth
Is that the best you have an islamonazi propaganda map that proves nothing other than you can find what you want on the net

The territory was ceded to the control of the Allied Powers for the purpose of self-determination and self-government of various groups as they became capable of said government.
No they didn't. Read Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne.
What treaty mention a "Jewish Palestine?"
Now I know you are confused.The territory was ceded to the control of the Allied Powers for the purpose of self-determination and self-government of various groups as they became capable of said government.
No they didn't. Read Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne.
You make no sense. The intent of the Mandate trusteeship was to provide tutelage by advanced nations until such time as the provisionally recognized governments were able to stand alone. THAT is from Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which I am fairly certain you are fond of quoting. That was the INTENT of the Mandate system. You can't possibly be arguing that this was NOT the intent of the Mandate.
What has Article 30 got to do with the intent of the Mandate system?
Are you meaning to say that Article 30 creates some sort of sovereignty or State? Are you saying that the boundaries of various territories under the Mandate can NEVER be changed because Article 30 "fixes" them permanently? How, exactly, does saying that all peoples who normally reside in a particular territory should become nationals of whatever new State is created there in any way affect boundaries or sovereignty?

Besides -- you're so deep into denying the Pali failings in this crisis to realize that the BIGGER threat are murders and public street executions that Hamas conducts in Gaza. There is no continued "purge" in the West Bank -- but it's a feature of life in Gaza.
