What ever happened to Kurdistan? Unlike “Palestinians,” the Kurds are a specific ethnic group with a long history.

[TheWriterTX #16] Britian controlled that land. It was theirs to do with as they pleased.

[TheWriterTX #20]

Interesting how you glossed over their willful involvement of Jewish genocide during WW2 and how they aligned with Nazis.

They are lucky the world allowed them to remain standing at all.

Sorry, losers in wars don’t get to dictate terms.

Tells me everything I need to know about you.

Your every statement is absolutely irrelevant to whether Britain controlled the land of Palestine and was free to do with it as they pleased, and you damn well know that.

As you were confronted with the documents which prove beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty that Britain never had the power to do as they pleased with the land of Palestine, and that Britain only acted as the administrator under an appointment by the League of Nations, and you try to B.S. and bluster your way through, that tells me everything I need to know about you. You have no clue what you are talking about, and do not care about facts.

Below is another linked and quoted recitation of the documentation provinjg you were full of crap.

1920-1948 Mandatory Palestine

Mandatory Palestine was a geopolitical entity established between 1920 and 1948 in the region of Palestine under the terms of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine.

League of Nations

Mandate for Palestine

And Memorandum by the British Government Relating to its Application to Transjordan, Approved by the Council of the League of Nations on September 16th, 1922.

Title Page plus six pages each English and French.

MANDATE FOR PALESTINE

Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and

Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country; and

Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstructing their national home in that country; and

Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have selected His Britannic Majesty as the Mandatory for Palestine; and

Whereas the mandate in respect of Palestine has been formulated in the following terms and submitted to the Council of the League for approval; and

Whereas by the afore-mentioned Article 22, (paragraph 8) it is provided that the degree of authority, control or administration to be exercised by the Mandatory, not having been previously agreed upon by the Members of the League, shall be explicitly defined by the Council of the League of Nations;

Confirming the said mandate, defines its terms as follows:

Article 1

The Mandatory shall have full powers of legislation, save as they may be limited by the terms of this mandate.

Article 2

The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as wll secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.

Article 3

The Mandatory shall, so far as circumstances permit, encourage local autonomy.
