When you don't have anything to say, because you can't deny fact, you post animations, thinking that somehow they can cloud the truth. Doesn't work, son.
Jordan did not exist until 1922 when the LoN created it, and before that it was part of Palestine.
It was never part of Palestine as the record shows. The first report by the Mandatory sets a separate section in the report for the territory of Trans-Jordan that was included in the Mandate, but was a separate territory and had been under a completely different administration. As you see Phoney, I have access to all the facts. How can you possibly think that your bullshit propaganda won't be found out? You really should give it up, you continually make a fool of yourself.

X.--TRANS-JORDANIA.
Included in the area of the Palestine Mandate is the territory of Trans-Jordania. It is bounded on the north by the frontier of Syria, placed under the mandate of France; on the south by the kingdom of the Hejaz; and on the west by the line of the Jordan and the Dead Sea; while on the east it stretches into the desert and ends--the boundary is not yet defined--where Mesopotamia begins. Trans-Jordania has a population of probably 350,000 people. It contains a few small towns and large areas of fertile land, producing excellent wheat and barley. The people are partly settled townsmen and agriculturists, partly wandering Bedouin; the latter, however, cultivate areas, more or less fixed, during certain seasons of the year.
When Palestine west of the Jordan was occupied by the British Army and placed under a British military administration, over Trans-Jordania and a large part of Syria there was established an Arab administration, with its capital at Damascus. The ruler was His Highness the Emir Feisal, the third son of H.M. King Hussein, the King of the Hejaz. When Damascus was occupied by French troops in July, 1920, and the Emir Feisal withdrew, it was necessary to adopt fresh measures in Trans-Jordania. I proceeded to the central town of Salt on August 20th, and, at an assembly of notables and sheikhs of the district, announced that His Majesty's Government favoured the establishment of a system of local self- government, assisted by a small number of British officers as advisers...."

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, did you read the very first sentence that very clearly states " Included in the area of the Palestine Mandate is the territory of Trans-Jordania ". The official maps of the time show that Palestine included what is now Jordan
By the way, the area of Palestine was defined in the Mandate precisely and repeated in every report of the mandatory:
Just wondering how Trans-Jordan could have been in Palestine while it is defined as bordered by Trans-Jordan?
"Palestine lies on the western edge of the continent of Asia between latitude 30° N. and 33° N., Longitude 34° 30 E. and 35° 30' E.
On the south it is bounded by Egyptian and Saudi Arabian territory, on the east by Trans-Jordan, on the north by the French Mandated Territories of Syria and the Lebanon, and on the west by the Mediterranean.
The boundaries are described as follows:--
South.--From a point west of Rafa on the Mediterranean to a point two miles west of Aqaba in the Gulf of Aqaba.
East.--From a point two miles west of Aqaba in the Gulf of Aqaba up the centre of the Wadi Araba, the Dead Sea, and the River Jordan, to the junction of the latter with the River Yarmuk, thence up the centre of the River Yarmuk to the Syrian frontier.
North.--The northern boundary was laid down by the Anglo-French Convention of the 23rd December, 1920, and its delimitation was ratified in 1923. Stated briefly, the boundary runs from Ras el Naqura on the Mediterranean eastwards to Metulla and across the upper Jordan valley to Banias, thence to Jisr Banat Yaqub, thence along the Jordan to the Lake of Tiberias on to El Hamme station on the Samakh-Deraa railway line.
West.--The Mediterranean Sea.
