The ancient Jewish communities of Gaza and of Shchem
were abandoned in 1919 and 1929
when the British decided they were too difficult to defend.
The ancient Jewish community of Hebron
was destroyed in the pogrom of 1929.
The Jewish communities of Gush Etzion
and of the Old City (E. Jerusalem)
were 'relocated' in 1948.
Who stole the above from whom?
Are their former residents refugees?
Do they have the same rights as the Palestinians?
Could it be that the ill treatment they received,
coupled with threats of "idbach al yahud",
influenced Jewish thinking later on?
Every war for 'Lebenstraum' tends to be vicious
because the stakes are so high.
Given the train of atrocities leading up to
the Israeli 'War of Independance',
Arab slogans of 'itbach al yahud',
war aims of 'driving the Jews into the sea',
did it make sense to depend on Jewish inhibitions
to prevent them from doing
everything in their power to win?
Did it make sense for Arab leaders
to choose so risky a course after
the UN had handed them so much,
on a silver platter?

Doesn't make a difference.
My question is:
Did England, the League of Nations, and "The San Remo Conference",
have the authority to make and agree upon this do***ent?
