@jdwstangs3 @RobertGSilvermn The goal of the mandate was the formation of a Jewish home in Palestine, without defining its borders. This has been created, so the mandate is obsolete. The legal borders (subject to negotiated change as they may be) are the lines of 1949, under which Israel became UN member.

@jdwstangs3 @RobertGSilvermn Too bad it WAS the Security Council: https://t.co/VasaRrqgcj
"It underlined that it would not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem." So those lines are de facto the recognized borders, in the absence of any others.

@ViktorHardarson When their own country (of mostly recent immigrants) denies the actually indigenous Palestinians their country, they forfeit such right. Defending Zionism is regressive.

@MoiraRogow @RobertGSilvermn Your reply shows what you really are, a Zionist out of arguments.

@jdwstangs3 @RobertGSilvermn Obviously once Israel was established this couldn't apply beyond its borders.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@jdwstangs3 @RobertGSilvermn Cite it. The UN didn't even name an aggressor in the war. The mandate was obsolete once Israel was established. International community de facto recognized 1949 armistice borders. Later UN rulings made clear land doesn't belong to Israel, hence, settlements illegal.

@sliv_the_eli @nytimes Israel is challenged precisely and only as an ethnosupremacist state, like South Africa was. If it gave equality to all Palestinians under its control, no one would mind if the state was still called Israel.

@MarDBallJr @EugeniaIliopou1 @vividchi1 @RobertGSilvermn The inclusion of real place names or the occasional real event does not give the slightest credence to a mythical fairy tale filled with direct contradictions and physical absurdities.

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody Not the sharpest bulb in the drawer are we? 100% of all Jews in Palestine + 30% of all Arabs in Palestine.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody Your memory doesn't serve.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody Their share according to a division the Arabs had no reason or obligation to agree to.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody Blatant lying doesn't help you. The words "The General Assembly... RECOMMENDS... the adoption..." are right there at the top of the text.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody And the Arabs didn't, so the whole thing was null and void. I can't write up a contract with you, and if you don't agree to its terms, say "well I adhere to it" and therefore demand you do too.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody Their portion had 100% of the Jews + 30% of the Arabs? Why should the Arabs have accepted that?

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody They didn't have to accept the plan and they didn't just proclaim a state according to their own plan either. But Israel unilaterally went ahead and thereby started the war.

[Ben @ttrwttr]

@arsenelup1n @mrpeabody No it wasn't. It was explicitly a recommendation.
