The uninformed people about Israel
Many uninformed
people seem to think that Israel was a pity gift, given by Europe to the Jews because of the Holocaust.
The new and additional influx of Jewish people to Palestine started in the mid to early 1800 after
the Ottoman Rulers modified its existing laws to stimulate the development of Palestine . The Ottoman Empire owned over 90% of the land in Palestine . Some of the land was leased to the
Arabs as sharecroppers.
This is simply
not true. Israel traces it’s legal start to many years
before Nazism. It is my belief that very few Zionists know the whole story.
The country of Israel was actually created peacefully long
before 1947, and long before the Holocaust. The land was not stolen by Jews, or
conquered with blood by Jews. The land in question was part of the Ottoman Empire and was lost by the Ottoman Empire in WW 1 (transferred Palestine to Allied control under the Sevres and Lausanne Treaties)
The Allied
Powers at the San Remo conference in 1920 which incorporated the 1917 Balfour
Declaration. The Treaty in essence returned the land to it rightful Nation, the
Jewish People. This was voted on at the San Remo conference by Britain (David Lloyd George), France (Alexandre
Millerand) and Italy (Francesco Nitti) and by Japan ’s Ambassador K. Matsui and this was
confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres and Lausanne . The rest of the world voted for this
at the Anglo-American Convention (1924) and all the world powers at the League of Nations . The United Nations accepted this in
full when they opened their door and replaced the League of Nations .
The League of Nations passed numerous resolutions (but none
of the resolutions can abrogate or modify international treaties). So you might
hear about secret meetings between countries and all kinds of conspiracies.
However none of those meetings had the right, or the status to make resolutions
that were binding in international law. The League of Nations was the predecessor of the UN Security
Council.
It was
recognized in 1922 that the Jews were the indigenous people of the land. There
was a legal binding international commitment to the Jewish people, based on the
‘historical connection of the Jewish people to Palestine and the grounds for reconstituting
their national home there,’ a commitment which has never been revoked. There
has been a continuous Jewish presence in that land for more than 3500 years.
Over a million Jewish families who lived in Arab countries for over 2500 years
were expelled from the Arab countries, their assets, businesses, homes and land
was confiscated, majority of those expelled families from Arab countries resettled
in Israel, today they consist over half the population in the State of Israel.
The British as
trustee for the Jewish people under the Mandate for Palestine violated many of the terms and that is
why we are in the mess and conflict of today.
