Jews can move to Palestine and receive citizenship. They would be able to live anywhere in Palestine. The Mandate was to set up Palestine as the homeland for the Jews to live among the normal inhabitants with equal rights. The Mandate specified that it was not to create a Jewish state.
Israel is a foreign power as it was declared by a small group of foreigners in opposition to the majority of the population and imposed by military force.
Wrong, dummy.
The Palestine Mandate, adopted unanimously by the full international body of the League of Nations, establishes Israeli statehood in Palestine.
Arabs received separate mandates for states in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and, eventually, Jordan.
Furthermore, Arabs have nearly 30 countries in what had previously been the Ottoman Empire, the largest state in the world, encompassing over 8 million square miles.
Israel is just 8 thousand square miles, 0.1 percent of the landmass.
Let the Jews have their little state, psycho.
The Mandate never mentioned Israel but did specified the they were not to create an exclusive Jewish state. If you want me to cite a quote, I will.
The rest of your statement is irrelevant.
I don't think Marc's last point is irrelevent. Like my best friend said, "Let us suppose a Martian were to come down to Earth, and be given a map of the world. He would be shown the approximately 22 Arab countries and 57 Muslim countries, and then shown Israel, which a finger can't even fully cover, and then told, 'Look how selfish the Jews are--they want the whole land of Israel for themselves'. Don't you think he would probably look at you like you're crazy?" This is besides the facts that the Jews have been subjected to pogroms, blood-libels, expulsions, inquisitions, and holocausts in their previous host countries; as well as their historical and Biblical connections to the country in question.
