Subject: RE: BS: Palestine
Richard,

Please learn to read. YOU have just stated again that the treaties that ended WW1 and established a number of nations are invalid.


If YOU only apply this to Israel, and not to Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan et al, YOU are a obviously anti-semetic bigot.

In addition, your statements are incorrect.

1. There was no Ottoman Empire by then

Just as there was no Third Reich at the end of WW 2- but there were still valid surrender documents.

2. Turkey had no domain in the relevant areas

MOST of the property that became Mandate Palestine was owned by individuals in Turkey- the people who lived there in general rented property from those owners.

3. Britain had no valid domain in the relevant areas.

Wrong again. By BOTH treaties, Britain was the Mandate Power.
