Finally.........A Palestinian Contribution To Mankind

[P F Tinmore]

P F Tinmore, et al,

Through the entire Mandate Period, the Arab Higher Committee (AHC) or some variation on the theme (the Arab Delegation) represented theArab Palestinian interests. It is only after the bid to destroy the Jewish National Home in May 1948, that the some various failed factions of the Arab Palestinians jump-up and claim misrepresentation.

This is merely just another way for the Arab Palestinian to adorn themselves with the perpetual victim mask, and blame someone else; even themselves disguised as someone else, for their continuous failures.

The importance here is that immediately prior to the outbreak of hostilities, the principle players were the Palestine Commission, the Mandatory Power, the Jewish Agency and the Arab Higher Committee. The All-Palestine Government was not established by the Arab League until on 22 September 1948.

So what happened to the only Palestinian representation?

When the Committee was outlawed in September 1937, six of its members were deported, its president Amin al-Husayni managed to escape arrest and went into exile in Beirut. Jamal al-Husayni escaped to Syria. Three other members were deported to the Seychelles, and other members moved into voluntary exile in neighbouring countries. Al-Hadi, who was out of the country at the time, was not allowed to return.

And your response will be a bunch of crap that foreigners did.

(COMMENT)

This idea of "foreigners" was nothing new. This Xenophobic idea, and the Palestine Arab Congress (PAC), dates back a time when the area was under the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA). It should also be pointed out that even though you complain about the "bunch of crap that foreigners did," you turn around and cite the Third PAC and the call "for Palestine to be part of the independent Arab state promised in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence." (Notice that both British High Commissioner and the Sharif of Mecca are "foreigners.") And the independent Arab State promised to was to become known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and ruled by Crown Prince Abdullah. However a totally separate agreement between two of the Principle Allied Powers, known as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, specified that most of Palestine was to be entrusted to an international administration. The agreement clearly contradicted the promises made to Sharif Hussein of Mecca. But again, none of this revolves around some specific population known as the Arabs of Palestine.

While Jamal al-Husayn was eventually arrested by the British in 1941 and exiled to Southern Rhodesia (AKA Zimbabwe), he did return to become the Foreign Minister of the Egyptian created All-Palestine Government (APG). You also mention "Amin al-Husayni [more commonly known as Mohammed Amin al-Husseini (one-time Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and once a WWI enemy Ottoman Army Artillery Officer; and WWII NAZI Collaborator)] who became the 'Chairman of the Arab Higher Executive' (AHE) and the Egyptian installed President of the APG, was a prominently associated antisemitic Riots from 1928 on and various hostile Palestinian nationalist groups.

There is little question that we could argue the merits of foreign connections the various Arabs of Palestine had with the "Allied Powers" (foreigners as you would have it). But just remember, it was the "foreigners" (the Allied Powers) that were the recipients of all title and rights to the territory that was to come under the Mandate for Palestine.

(SIDEBAR)

Yes the original AHC was outlawed in 1937. But the Arab League reconstituted it immediately after the end of WWII. It was the AHC of 1945 that rejected the UN Partition Plan in 1948, that reaffirmed the Arabs of Palestine could not recognize the Balfour Declaration, the Mandate of Palestine or any situation arising or derived therefrom, and declared the creation of any Jewish state in an Arab territory is more than invasion or aggression; and made the solemn declaration before the United Nations, before God and history, that they will never submit or yield to any power going to Palestine to enforce partition.

The Palestinians have the right to defend their country.

So why aren't they in their country defending it then, as they never had ownership or sovereignty of palestine in living memory

More Israeli say so.

Palestinians all over the world are still defending their country.

One can hardly define attacks aimed at Isreal from islamic terrorist controlled areas such as Gaza as defending anything, certainly not some mythical Pal'istan you believe exists.

So can I defend mine by killing muslims outside of the nation my country is at war with. Firing illegal weapons at Israel civilians is not defense it is out and out terrorism. Planting bombs in shops frequented by Israeli children is not defense it is out and out racism. You defend against attack, which is what Israel does, you dont instigate the violence and then claim it is self defrnse.like the arab muslims calling themselves palestinians do.
