The Palestine entity, formally established and defined by Britain, was formally abolished in 1948 with the termination of the [British] Mandate.
Israel has no defined territory or borders.
Israel has a government but no constitution.
Wrong, as usual.
Palestine ceased to exist in 1948 with Israeli statehood.
Historian Bernard Lewis...
The Palestine entity, formally established and defined by Britain, was formally abolished in 1948 with the termination of the [British] Mandate.
Israel has no defined territory or borders.
Wrong, again
The League of Nations established borders for Israel, from the Jordan river to the Med. Sea, from Galilee to the Negev.
Israel has a government but no constitution.
Wrong, yet, again.
The United Kingdom has no constitution.
Israel has had a constitution since the mid-1990s.
You have a perfect record: You're 100% wrong.
Palestine has a popularly elected government consisting of independent executive, legislative, and and judicial branches. It has a constitution that guarantees equal rights for all.
For Arabs, the term Palestine was unacceptable...For Muslims it was alien and irrelevant but not abhorrent in the same way as it was to Jews. The main objection for them was that it seemed to assert a separate entity which politically conscious Arabs in Palestine and elsewhere denied. For them there was no such thing as a country called Palestine. The region which the British called Palestine was merely a separated part of a larger whole [Syria]. For a long time organized and articulate Arab political opinion was virtually unanimous on this point.

The Emperor Hadrian made a determined attempt to stamp out the embers not only of the revolt but of Jewish nationhood and statehood.
It would seem that the name Judaea was abolished at the same time as Jerusalem and the country renamed Palestina or Syria-Palestina with the same intention to obliterate its historic Jewish identity.
Palestine was sometimes extended to include territories further east but was not usually applied to Judaea [Israel, today] , which in Roman times was still officially and commonly known by that name.[Judea]

Human Development is a development paradigm that is about much more than the rise or fall of national incomes. It is about creating an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests. People are the real wealth of nations. Development is thus about expanding the choices people have to lead lives that they value. And it is thus about much more than economic growth, which is only a means if a very important one of enlarging peoples choices.
Fundamental to enlarging these choices is building human capabilities the range of things that people can do or be in life. The most basic capabilities for human development are to lead long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, to have access to the resources needed for a decent standard of living and to be able to participate in the life of the community. Without these, many choices are simply not available, and many opportunities in life remain inaccessible.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWhpWHeI6-U[/ame]All of my life, Israel has been a symbol of the triumph of hope and faith. After 1945, our battered world desperately needed to be lifted out of post-war darkness and despair. After so much pain and suffering, humanity needed comfort and optimism. After so much death and destruction, we needed renewal. The renewal of the dream of a better and more civilized world. We needed to be inspired and it was the Jewish people who suffered most who provided that inspiration.
By their example, they led the world back to the light. From shattered Europe and other countries, near and far, the descendants of Abrhahan, Isaac and Jacob made their way home. Their pilgramage was the culmination of a 2000 year dream it is a tribute to the unquenchable human aspiration for freedom and a testament to the indominable spirit of the Jewish People.
In the 60 years that followed, Israel blossomed into one of the most successful countries on Earth. A land of ingenuity and enterprise, an oasis of agricultural genius, a wellspring of fine art and high culture, a model of democracy, Israel is truly the miracle in the desert.
But, the source of Israel's strength and success is its commitment to the universal values of all civilized people, freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Soon, I hope to have the opportunity to travel to Israel to see the miracle with my own eyes. To see how millions of people from all over the Earth with their countless different languages and traditions came together to build a modern, prosperous, vibrant democratic country.
I want to see first hand what the survivors of the Holocaust and their descendants have accomplished for theirs is truly an achievement of resilience and renewal unsurpassed in the annals of human history. Considering how far Israel has come in so short a time, in the face of such seemingly insurmountable odds, I can foresee no dark force, no matter how strong, that could succeed in dimming the light of freedom and democracy that shines from within Israel.
But, if there were really apartheid in Israel, there would be no Palestinian Members of the Knesset.

QFT!
Stephen Harper understands. Canada understands. This is why Canada was instrumental in holding back the already growing Muslim UN block in '48. He fought them and was instrumental in the creation of the partition plan that dissolved the Palestinian Territorial Mandate.
A done deal.
"Far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied until their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population."(a) Palestine has a permanent population of people who have lived there for hundreds even thousands of years.
Borders of the british mandate palestine, of course, since palestine has never existed as an autonomous entity. There's no "palestinian" language and no distinct "palestinian" culture, cult of martyrdom and death excluding. There has never been a land, known as palestine, ruled by "palestinians". Palistanians are pure and unadulterated arabs, like any from the hood.(b) Palestine has had defined borders since 1922.
Sounds bombastic, but the reality pictures a so-called palestinian autonomy government, and an illegal one too, with general elections having been postponed twice. Pathetic.(c) Palestine has a popularly elected government consisting of independent executive, legislative, and and judicial branches. It has a constitution that guarantees equal rights for all.
Who cares. They can have it with polar bears too.(d) Palestine has relations with about 130 countries.
"One always finds in Palestine Arabs who have been in the country only a few weeks or a few months. Since they are themselves strangers in a strange land, they are the loudest to cry: "Out with the Jews!". Amongst them are to be found representatives of every Arab country: Arabs from Transjordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, the Sudan and Iraq." L. Farago, Palestine at the Crossroads, 1937.(a) Israel's population was recent immigrants.
There goes madrasa geography classes, they must be using the islamic khalifat maps for everything.(b) Israel has no defined territory or borders.
So does Britain. Madrasa never learns, of course(c) Israel has a government but no constitution.
Who cares.(d) Israel has relations with about 90 countries.

The Arab population in Palestine [SIZE=""]decreased[/SIZE][/] from about 93% to about 65% between the turn of the century to 1947.
But let us not let the facts get in the way of the propaganda.
The Arab population shows a remarkable increase since 1920, and it has had some share in the increased prosperity of Palestine. Many Arab landowners have benefited from the sale of land [to Jews] and the profitable investment of the purchase money. The fellaheen are better off on the whole than they were in 1920. This Arab progress has been partly due to the import of Jewish capital into Palestine and other factors associated with the growth of the National Home. In particular, the Arabs have benefited from social services which could not have been provided on the existing scale without the revenue obtained from the Jews.
The shortage of land is due less to purchase by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population. The Arab claims that the Jews have obtained too large a proportion of good land cannot be maintained. Much of the land now carrying orange groves was sand dunes or swamps and uncultivated when it was bought.
