No.And finally, to the consumers of the Israeli propaganda that attempts to delegitimize Palestinians by claiming that they are a recent invention by Arafat, source documentation from the UN Archives, check out the date of the meeting:
PALESTINE. CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE PALESTINE ARAB DELEGATION AND THE ZIONIST ORGANISATION. Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty. JUNE, 1922. LONDON: -
See more at: UK correspondence with Palestine Arab Delegation and Zionist Organization/British policy in Palestine: "Churchill White Paper" - UK documentation Cmd. 1700/Non-UN document (excerpts) (1 July 1922)
They were under the control of the British and they were never a State.
"A state" is a propaganda term. The legal rights of a people precede statehood. Statehood is the product of exercising rights not a prerequisite.
A State is a chartered, incorporated polity, collectively representing a group of people, and, as a corporation, having its own rights at-law, held in trust for its people.
The legal rights of a people can, indeed, precede Statehood, when there exists a coherent and recognizable people to begin with, prior to Statehood.
That also assumes that those same people have the common sense to set up as a State in a timely manner to their own best advantage, and that those same people have the political and military power to enforce their will and to sustain a coherent identity and territory.
Given that the Palestinians did not even have the common sense that God gave an ant, to declare Statehood and Independence at the split-second that the Mandate terminated...
Given that the Palestinians allowed their Muslim neighbors to talk them into abandoning much of their land and to Skeddadle to refugee camps...
Given that the Palestinians allowed their Muslim neighbors to conduct their affairs on their behalf - largely due to incompetency and foolhardiness and primitivism...
Given that the Palestinians have never been able to "hold their own" - even with the massive help of a half-dozen or more Arab neighbor countries simultaneously, as well as second-hand assistance from the Soviet bloc and Iraq in the 1970s and 1980s...
Given that the Palestinians have phukked-up and pissed-away more chances to come to a middle-ground settlement that you can shake a stick at...
The Palestinians simply don't pass the Sniff Test, as a rational, sustainable, recognizable or coherent 'people'...
Never mind a State, which is no more than a joke, by any sane, rational standards used to gauge history, status and prospects...
The steamroller of history has already flattened the Palestinians...
Time to scrape 'em off the pavement and peel 'em apart into diverse segments and then disperse them into the surrounding region, and make an end to this...
Old legalities leaned-on so heavily by the Palestinians, and present-day Realities (to be reinforced and sustained in future) are entirely different animals...
