For a dry legal view I refer to http://pnews.org/art/4art/LANDquestion.shtml
Secondly you seem to believe that by holding a mere mandate, the British in fact had justified control over the destination of the included territory. Sure, I know that they acted as if they did, but in fact they had no such rights whatsoever. The British miserably abused their responsibilities by promising the same land to two different peoples during World War 1. One of those peoples had not controlled that land neither by occupation, nor by "country rights", nor by usage, for 2000 years. And I don't mean what are now called the Palestinians.
But such is the nature of Myths. You shoot them down in flames and they rise again, like Peter Sellers in the movie The Party. This "land ownership" is one of the most famous of the many Zionist Myths that was blown clear out of the water on this very forum about a year ago. |
YOU were the one who wre arguing "Bought" and owned.. thus my "2/3 was state land".

A very similar Myth also debated on this forum and was also shredded. The fact that there never was a Palestinian state is irrelevant when one refers to rights derived from another age and socio-political system. When Abraham arrived in Canaan - there were people living there. And they are still there. And they are not Hebrews. And they did not have a country or state. But those olive plantations where Jaffa oranges now grow had been tended by them since time immemorial.

Is there a point in there?
Dioes it rebut mine that there hasn't been any self-governing 'palestine' (nor national Identity for that matter).. since it was called Israel
This is not a Myth.. this is fact.
Like everything I post and you try and obfuscate.
Lastly, I saw your 'myth' strings and there's nothing in them but your CLAIM they are myths.
Mere one or two sentence suppositions with No meat whatsoever.
I don't believe I've ever seen such empty posting on this board or any other.
