Subject: RE: BS: Palestine
You might, BB, try reading and thinking about what I have said, rather than going of on some rant of your own.

By the dates you give, the "Ottoman Empire" did not exist. There was no effective government in its former possessions. Thus no treaty in its name or under its alleged title could create countries. Nor was there any way for the League of Nations or UN to derive a valid power to do so.

I am not addressing any other of the effects, actual or purported, of the papers you cite.

MtheGM - accordingly nothing validly created the right for Israel to exist within any borders.
