1917 to 1920: Britain put Palestine under Military rule
1920 to 1948: Britain ruled Palestine under the mandate awarded to them at the end of World War I. The government was called "government of Palestine." The mandate government was under the British crown. On November 2, 1917, the British foreign minister Arthur Belfour with the consent of the British crown promised the Jews to give them the land of the Palestinians as a Jewish national homeland. This promise became known as the "Belfour declaration." France & Italy accepted the declaration in 1918, America in 1919, Japan in 1920. The Belfour declaration was a clear violation of the Palestinian people's right to their land and government.
Why aren't Americans called terrorist for fighting the English before independence? Palestinians are fighting for their land, their right. Why is the world silent? Why are they ignoring the historical truths? Is the west so brainwashed by their biased media to point of stupidity and ignorance?
