(BT:)....." targeting Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Where do I sign up?
The UN and others trying to stop the Jews from reclaiming sovereignty in their biblical heartland after 3000 years is unconscionable.
Article 95 provided that Palestine - within such boundaries as might be determined by the Principal Allied Powers – be administered by a Mandatory to be selected by them. The Mandatory was to be responsible for putting into effect the Balfour Declaration made on November 2, 1917 by the British Government - and adopted by the Allied Powers -..... in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people -..... it being clearly understood that nothing would 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.
Judea and Samaria was reserved however for the Jews under the Mandate – that right being preserved under article 80 of the 1945 United Nations Charter notwithstanding the demise of the League of Nations in 1946.
After Britain handed its Mandate back to the United Nations in 1948 - every Jew living in Judea and Samaria was driven out by the invading army of Transjordan which itself comprised 77% of the Mandate territory and had achieved independence in 1946.
Judea and Samaria was illegally unified with Transjordan to become “The West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” from 1950 to 1967 - recognized only by Great Britain, Iraq and Pakistan. Jordanian citizenship was extended to all its Arab citizens from 1954 to 1988.
Jordan’s loss of Judea and Samaria to Israel in the 1967 Six Day War saw some 450000 Jews returning to reclaim their patrimony over the next 53 years – but the international community’s seal of approval soon changed to outright condemnation.
