Why, Tinnie, no more You Tubes? Just the same old "The Zionist Project" that you have posted many times before. You can, of course, bring it up as many times as you like to, but I am for taking the word of Winston Churchill who said that the Arabs arrived in droves from their impoverished countries when the Jews had jobs for them. Do you really see any difference from what we are seeing today with the poor Hispanics coming north for jobs in American and the poor Arabs and others from Muslim countries going to Europe for jobs? Surely, Tinnie, wherever you happen to live now once you emigrated here from Gaza, you must have seen some population changes in your own town.As Palestinian resistance to the expansion of the Yishuv was growing, so was the Zionist determination to implement the doctrine of separation between the Jewish community and the Palestinian population in preparation for the eventual establishment of a Jewish state.
Yishuv leaders such as David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), born in Poland as David Gruen and who arrived in Palestine in 1906 at the age of 20 and later became the first prime minister of Israel, strongly advanced the idea of transfer and saw the link between the separation of the Palestinians and of the Jews and the plan for the eventual transfer of the Palestinians out of Palestine.
When the Palestinian Revolt took place (1936-39), the Zionists saw a chance and a reason for the strengthening of their underground forces and the expansion of their military infrastructure. It was becoming clear to the Yishuv that the solution to the Palestinian demographic problem can only be achieved through military threats.
The Zionist Project - 1948
Zionism emerged as a national movement in Eastern Europe in the 1880s. Its founder, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a Hungarian Jew, dreamt of establishing a Jewish State in the land of Palestine, a dream which was to be realised through colonisation and land acquisition. According to Zionist archives, the leadership of early Zionism believed that the native population of Palestine, as a result of this colonisation, would simply fold their tents and slip away or, if they resisted, they would be spirited across the borders.

OPh its way more complex than that.
The original Zionists were mostly socialists.
The original Zionists didn't expect to found their own nation.
The original Zionists worked in collaboration with the Palestinians and BOUGHT the land they lived on.
Things truly started to go downhill much thanks to the BALFOUR Declaration that was signed druing WWI.
(COMMENT)That is true. There was little animosity between the different religions until it became apparent that there was a sinister motive behind the immigration of the Jews into Palestine.
ZIONISM is as old as is judaism The comment that the "original zionists" were "socialists" really has
no meaning although there were MANY MANY zionists
who were attracted to the concepts of SOCIALISM.
P F Tinmore, et al,
I wonder about this "sinister" motive (threatening or suggesting malevolence, menace, or harm). One needs only look at the developments in their society and compare it to the infrastructure, the parliamentary democracy, the education system, internal research and development, industry and commerce, of the non-Israeli countries and areas around it. All this could have been shared with the Palestinians had they not turned violent.
(COMMENT)That is true. There was little animosity between the different religions until it became apparent that there was a sinister motive behind the immigration of the Jews into Palestine.
There was no question, between Article 22 of the Covenant, the Treaty of Sevre, the Balfour Declaration, and the Mandate what the Allied intentions were behind the immigration: "by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." (Article 95, Treaty of Peace between the Allied Powers and Turkey) It is where the land came from, it was the original intention behind the treaty for that land, and it was the transfer of sovereignty for the purposes intended.
There was no "sinister motive." It was done by the light of day by the powers that had control over the entire territory and region. The land was Ottoman/Turkey - and they decided to accept any decisions the Allied Powers made in relation to the Syria, Mesopotamia (Iraq), and whatever they chose to call Palestine (the remainder).

The problem with all that is that what was said in the LoN Covenant and what happened on the ground were different. If Britain had not violated the covenant there would not have been war for a hundred years.

I don't understand this insistance that the UK "violated the covenant."

First off, the UK didn't make the "offer" in the Mandate, the Allied Powers did, IAW the Covenant and the Treaty. Over three-quarters (75%) of the Mandate, known as Palestine, went to the Arabs/Palestinians. And only a Little more than half of the remainder went to the Israelis; and that was by GA offer in Resolution 181, not by the UK.
Since the Arabs/Palestinians opted to resolve their differences though violence, they will get even less than was originally allocated, because they lost the armed conflicts. While they West Bank and Gaza may, eventually, get statehood, there was other territory that they could have had, but have since lost.
This is by no means, the fault of the UK. This was purely poor brinksmanship on the part of the Palestinian/Arab.
There is the possibility of compensation, restitution, and even reparations. But every day the Palestinians pursue violence as a means of settlement, reduces the probability of equity.
No matter how you shape it, the LoN, the Allied Powers, the Treaty, the Declaration, the Mandate, and Resolution, Independence, the War, and War --- international terrorism, and more War, more insurgency and terrorism, ----> all played a part in the outcome. And the Palestinians/Arabs and the alliance they made with all the various Arab nations that supported the continuation of insurgency and terrorism ---> played a major role outcomes (as unfavorable they are to the Palestinian people). And the Palestinian People, themselves, who gave both real and political support to the furtherance of war, insurgency, and terrorism, must take a certain amount of responsibility for their actions; individually and governmentally.
They ----> and only they ----> chose to ignore the basic principles of settling their international disputes by peaceful means in accordance with the Charter. And when their alternative ---> "violence" and non-peaceful means failed (to achieve their desired results), they start crying that everyone violated the covenant. (History is very clear on this point.) If the Arabs in collusion with the Palestinians, had not kicked off the 1973 Yom Kipper War, the Israelis would still be at the 1967 lines; they would be no need for a withdraw to the '67 borders. But the Arab/Palestinian and associated Arab League Nations, were greedy. And yet, the Arab/Palestinian still denies any responsibility for that war.
And again I say, the Palestinian People, themselves, who gave both real and political support to the furtherance of war, insurgency, and terrorism, must take a certain amount of responsibility for their actions; individually and governmentally.
It takes two to tango in war. And the Arab/Palestinian, in each and every case, set the conditions for war.
I assure you that if the 5 Arab Armies had in the past, or does at any point in the future, ----> win, they would not be a benevolent government acting in the best interest of the people. If they win in the future, they will not be a productive member of the international community. The Palestinians will be a Proxy nation of Iran, which I am sure they rest of the CCASG (Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf) will fully appreciate. They will be a major headache in assisting with Iran's clear interference in the domestic affairs of Arab countries, and destabilization efforts in the security of GCC members. It will not be long before the GCC will covertly start assisting Israel as a means of reducing the influence of Iran and the Shi'ite power base.
The achievement of a Palestinian success is now more dangerous to the GCC than the continuation of the Israeli state.

If the UK did not have anything to do with the "offer" and "acceptance" by Jewish; and the "offer" and "declination" by the Palestinians, exactly what are they accused of?

If the outcome of the founding of Israel is a violation of the Covenant, then the Covenant is at fault, because the GA is the body of the Covenant; not the UK.
So, exactly what is the key to the violation (probable cause to support) the charge you make against the UK?
Be specific. Remember, the right to self-determination was presented by the body of the Covenant. You may not agree, but an "offer" (by the General Assembly, the body of the Covenant) was made to - and the Palestinian, exercising its right of self-determination, declined (rejected, not accepted, however you want to phrase it) the offer.
