The founding principles of Jewish Constitutional law were already incorporated in the 1920 San Remo agreement

The founding principles of Jewish Constitutional law were already incorporated in the 1920 San Remo agreement of the Allied Principal War Powers of WWI, in a trust agreement agreed to in that document entitled The Palestine Mandate. These principles are a part of International Law. This decision was approved in 1922 by some 52 states, including the United States. The law currently proposed would not change them. They recognized the collective political rights (national rights) to Palestine as belonging to the Jewish People who had the best claim to self-determination. They rejected the competing claim of the Arab People for these collective political or national rights made by the Arabs at the Paris Peace Talks of 1919. These are the rights to establish a government and administer it. However they gave individual political (civil rights) rights to all. That wouldn't change under the proposed new law. In 1920 the Jews did not have a population majority in Palestine. The Allies didn't want to place an antidemocratic government in power so they agreed to place the collective political rights in a trust in which Britain would be the trustee until such time as the Jews brought in a majority population from the Diaspora and they had the capability of exercising sovereignty. That happened in 1948 for a large part of Palestine. When they gained control over the remaining territory in 1967, legal dominion over the remainder of the political rights vested and the Jewish People became entitled to establish a government and administer it in all of the mandate. Until 1948 Jews had only the right to settle in all Palestine west of the Jordan River and were only beneficiaries of the collective political rights.
Some argue that it is unfair to give Arabs residing in Palestine only individual political rights while the Jews get both individual and also collective political rights. How can that be unfair? The Arabs have collective political rights in 22 states with almost 500 times the area of Israel and the Jews in only one. In most of those state women have no individual political rights and in many Jews have none whatsoever. In Israel each citizen is entitled to one vote. SSRN.com/abstract=2385304
The Inquiry Commission advisors to President Woodrow Wilson established by the President in order to draft a map of the world based on the Fourteen Points, affirmed the right of the Jewish people that Palestine should become a Jewish State clearly on the ground that the Jews deserved self-determination in Palestine. Palestine, the commission said, was "the cradle and home of their vital race", the basis of the Jewish spiritual contribution, and the Jews were "the only people whose only home was in Palestine"… That hasn't changed.

ALL cited groups throughout history faced a "you will make it here or nowhere" mostly global attitude.  The Palestinians have been facing the United Nations (where Iran has membership on the Women Rights Commission …do you need any more proof of the UN's "quality?").  It is THE WORLD that has been financing/encouraging the Palestinians.  I cries-crossed the West Bank with my Palestinian driver, and asked him can ANYONE in the refugee camp walk out and work?  He said "absolutely."  "Why not then?" -I asked.  "Because in the camp EVERYTHING is free, including a certain level of service on your mobile phone" he said.  Arab States' cynicism?  No.  It is their INTEREST.  Once they had a "state" there is governmental RESPONSIBILITY.  While you are an "oppressed refugee", all you need to do is stretch your hands out, and someone will fill it with money, food, support and liberal sympathy.  No, the Palestinians DO NOT WANT a state.  Never did.

There is no such a thing as a "Palestinian land".  It might impress you, that the Dome of the Rock (which -along with Jerusalem- has not once mentioned in the Quran) is ON TOP of the Jewish Temple.  Think of pure architecture. In a 3/31/1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw, Zahir Muhsein the PLO Executive Committee member made the following statement:  "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.  In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese.  Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism…."

look up the 1858 Ottoman Land Code, and what happened after that.  This was BEFORE WWI.  Also: you -for whatever reason- conveniently jumped from "Byzantine" to "Islamic".  First, there was NO Islamic.  Not EVER.  Second, you left the Ottoman Empire out, which was "the" major power there until 1918.

These "self-made refugees" (and I am NOT being funny here), are "the" ones who love to be refugee.  I was there (three times) I saw it, I spoke with them.  There is not a single reason why a "refugee camp" should exist for 60 years.  By the way (that no one mentioned here yet) the reason why ALL (I mean A-L-L) refuge camp resident arrived to where they are now was this reason: in 1948, the Jerusalem Mufti (through radio and written leaflets) advised all Arabs to get out of Israel, because the Arab forces are coming, they will kill all the Jews, and the Arab forces do not want Arabs get in a way.  They were also advised that as soon as the job is done, they can come back and claim Jewish properties.  

In my previous two writings here, explained: there is no such a thing as "Palestinian Land".  I did research back 4,000 years.  But more recently: Israel was established by the UN (about the last useful thing the UN did). So, now, they had a "country". Which was attacked three major times (there were many smaller wars/incidents too).  Three times this country WON THE WAR and took the attackers' territory.  Then they gave most of it back THREE TIMES (Sinai? Rings the bell??).  Can you list me 1 country on the planet, throughout history that did this?  Gave territory back?  And this all in a settings, that everything on the West side of the Jordan river (West Bank, Gaza and all) has been the Jews' homeland for more than 3,000 years in the first place.

The other thing to consider is that the UN did not create Israel. It partitioned Palestine between the Jews and the Arabs, both of which were given states. The partition was based on the relative numbers of Jews and Arabs in the territory. It was quite similar to the British partition of India and Pakistan as the article mentioned. The difference is that the Jews accepted the partition arrangement but the Arabs didn't and started a genocidal war instead. They lost in 1948, and the land was thereby re-partitioned forcibly in a manner more favorable to the Jews than the original partition (which broke the Jewish area into three parts and made Jerusalem an international city). Arabs controlled the areas of the West Bank and Gaza and could easily have declared a Palestinian state at that time, but the other Arab states had no interest in helping the Palestinians when it meant giving up territory they controlled (Gaza by Egypt, West Bank by Jordan, Golan by Syria).

According to the United Nations weird standards, any person that spent TWO YEARS (!!!) in "Palestine" before 1948, with or without proof, is a "Palestinian", as well as all the descendants of that person. Indeed, the PLO leaders eagerly demand the "right" of all Palestinians to come back to the land that they occupied before June 1967 c.e., but utterly reject to return back to the land where they lived only 50 years before, namely, in 1917 c.e. Why? Because if they agree to do so, they have to settle back in Iraq, Syria, Arabia, Libya, Egypt... and only a handful Arabs would remain in Israel (by Israel is intended the whole Land between the Yarden River and the Mediterranean Sea, plus the Golan region). It is thoroughly documented that the first inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael after some centuries were the Jewish pioneers, and not the Arabs so-called Palestinians.

Excellent point.  Without United Nations funding, initially a short term effort to provide the Palestinians with a bridge to a productive future, now an enabling mechanism for continued propaganda, hateful and destructive brainwashing of future generations, and conflict.

Being sustained and supported by funding from the remainder of the world, including the US, the Palestinians are not forced to accept and accommodate their situation or perish, the choice which forced other groups to adapt.  Discontinuation of such funding would probably make a major contribution to peace in the Middle East.

The only group in history to have its own definition of "refugee" is the Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians". The only group in history to have its own dedicated  permanent UN agency is the Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians" . The only group in history to be able to hand down "refugee" status to their descendants  is the Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians", Why do you suppose that is? 

Also for the first time in history the only group that is allowed to have citizenship in one country but still be considered refugees (40% of "Palestinian refugees" are citizens of Jordan) is the Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians"
