RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
In some cases, as it appears in this case, you are asking for me to describe the reasoning for an alternative set of events. You know that the Arab Palestinians
(COMMENT)You are ducking my question.
I did not "duck" any valid question. None at all.
And by the way, I cannot speak for every single event (those which happened and those which were prevented from happening) which each of the entities could have been involving.
And I don't speak for the State of Israel.
(COMMENT)Here is another question for you to duck.
Resolution 181 states that all Palestinians who normally live in the territory that becomes the Jewish state will become citizens of that state.
This is one of those alternative questions.
In February of 1948, the UN Palestine Commission began its work. The Arab Palestinians decided NOT to participate in the actualization of self-governing institutions AND rejected the notion of a partition AND refused to participate in establishing the shape of the new governments.
(COMMENT)When did that happen?
The order of operations in the establishment of the Jewish State, the Arab State and the City State, was altered when the Arab Palestinians refused to cooperate. THUS, the Israelis were not enjoined to render assistance to the Arab Palestinians. No obligation was incurred by the Israelis and no binding promises were made to the Arab Palestinians (because they rejected the process from start to finish).
(HOWEVER)
In September 1949, the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine estimated 711,000 Palestinian refugees existed outside Israel, with about one-quarter of the estimated 160,000 Palestinian Arabs remaining in Israel as "internal refugees."
That suggests a portion of the Arab Palestinian people remained inside the territorial boundary; ultimately becoming citizens.
It is not likely that there is going to be a massive influx of Arab Palestinians; as a threat to the Israelis in the next three generations of Israelis.
Most Respectfully,
R
You could have fooled me.And I don't speak for the State of Israel.
