Occupations do not negate the right to sovereignty.RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Surely you jest.
(COMMENT)How can liberated Palestine not be an independent state?
Independence implies two things:
◈ No latent government or government in exile takes immediate control and begins exercising sovereignty.
◈ No other real authority exercises the control over the territory maintains the real control.
In the case of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, there was no (working) Palestinian government waiting and no territory to which the Arab Palestinian exercised sovereign governmental powers. In other words, there had to be a Palestinian Government that was displaced and in exile or a (which there was not) or upon liberation, there was no other government already in control.
Most Respectfully,
