Palestine was so sparsely populated that there is no much point to talk about majority.
not entirely true. The population density exceeds a lot of the world's nations, and hence your statement is void, besides, we are still discussing that 6% out of a 100% is not much, meaning if I have a cake, and you only have a small slice, how on earth can you claim the entire cake?
I am talking about facts, most of the lands were government lands.
Useless, to argue with you. I repeat, the mandate didn't give ownership to Britain of the land, only political control, why is it hard to understand.
One of the main reasons why League of Nations gave mandate to Britain is to establish Jewish national home there.
Nope, the stated aim, if you bothered to read the formulation, was to create a state for the indigenous people according to their wishes.
On the other hand, Britain had already promised to create a jewish nation there through the declaration made by Lord Balfour,not the british people, inspite the promise to arabs about independence. Last time I checked Balfour didn't own Palestine, nor did the British, and hence in my oppinion the mandate and partition are void since they are established on a corrupt base. And hence, everybody is in their right to change this situation through all means.
As for "historic Palestine" - there is not such thing. Palestine ius nothing but product of Sices Picot agreements + Jewish influence. If not the Jews, Galilee would go to Lebanon.
I am sorry, but academics tend to disagree. And how is it that the Galilee would go to lebanon? for me rather it goes to lebanon than russians and poles who have nothing to do there in the first place.
Thats what I am talking, Jewish settlement did not happen at expence of Arab population, on contrary, since Jews settled there Arabs rapidly grew.
Sir, please concentrate, we where just talking about how jews multiplied hundreds of times compared to the 12x growth in arab population, and control the entire land. Where is the logic in what you say? and why are there more than half a million settlers in WB expanding on a daily basis?
You talked first about land ownership and later switched to political control.
yes, landownership=palestinians, political control=british mandate want me to spell it out more?
Hebrew Bible if first source where root PLST came out. And Hebrew is only language where word PLST has meaning.
Nope ancient egyptian texts predate the bible. Besides I don't care if it was called Mars, the land is the same and people the same. Italy is not called Rome anymore. Names change.
99,9% dont migrate just suddenly. They were pesrecuted and left leafing most of their property, iften all property.
Some were persecuted because of zionist occupation of Palestine, most left voluntarily. That's in the words of your own politicians like former Knesset speaker Yisrael Yeshayahu, former government minister Shlomo Hillel, and politician Ran Cohen who state that they left their country of origin for Israel to pursue Zionist aspirations and not as refugees fleeing Arab persecution
I never seen any Israeli ARab who would like to live in Palestinian state or in Syria or Egypt or Jordan over Israel.
Again the lesser of the evils. I would bet anything, if you ask them whether they would like to live under israeli control or see Israel gone, they would chose the latter. Israel for them was not a blessing.
Is WB they have wide authonomy. Once they recognize Israel they wil get a state
They only control 60% of the 11% remaining, and are rounded up by the apartheid wall and 500,000 settlers, have no control on the ground, resources, airspace or borders. WB is dissected with over 700 check points, and no one can get in our out without the approval of the IDF. So what BS autonomy are you talking about. Besides Israel was recognized in 1988 so what in the world are you talking about? Israel is yet to recognize the palestinians
