Jewish Mandate for Palestine
I have discovered Mandatory Law and Supreme Judges explanations of that law (see them below).
All the legal documents clearly prove that Mandate for Palestine is Jewish, not British.
Below please learn Jewish Mandate for Palestine and essential for this case Mandatory Law. And please ask all Jewish paid professionals about their killing Israel ignorance. Here is the fact: For almost 90 years they try to use the Mandate, but not a single one of them knows Mandatory Law and other essential documents! It;s unbelievable but the truth...
These terribly illiterate paid professionals occupy all the positions and suppress real specialists. Such illiteracy of all Jewish paid professionals is the primary cause of all the strategic losses of Israel.
They know only killing Israel disinformation, prepared by British Intelligence Services. So the only thing Israeli paid professionals can do is to screw up Israel. Piece by piece they screw up and give up Jewish land. And "leftists" have nothing to do with these losses - the facts are very clear: only right-wing Israeli leaders give up
That's why all right-wing Jewish governments give up Jewish land despite of the heroism of Jewish nation. Yes,
Having no brain to create the real solutions lose all intellectual battles and even from Jerusalem - www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ifj6_Vbkd9E .
Such functionaries use all bureaucratic resources to kill the real specialists !
Because of their unbelievable nescience, all Jewish paid professionals keep planting all the killing Israel disinformation, prepared by British Intelligence Services. !
In other works I will have to give you more and more examples of how horrible is the illiteracy of all Jewish leaders and paid professionals. Otherwise it is absolutely impossible to have the epicrisis of the patient - the adequate picture of what's really going on with Israel. It's the only way to gain the true understanding of the facts: all right-wing Israeli governments constantly give up Jewish land. Yes, the facts are very clear: only "rightists" surrender Jewish land.
Without understanding of how deep is the illiteracy of all Jewish paid professionals and leaders, it is impossible to understand why Jews keep losing all strategic battles for the legality and legitimacy of Israel. and .
Because of that unbelievable illiteracy of all Jewish paid professionals, Israel keep losing strategic battles for. Because of the ignorance of all Jewish leaders and officials, the Jews keep losing Jewish Land since 1922 (even earlier). Despite of the heroism of Jewish people. Unfortunately it's a fact, and That's why Israeli government has to expulsion Jews even from Jerusalem:www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ifj6_Vbkd9E .
They refuse to learn the essential documents, instead they inculcate killing Israel British disinformation and use all bureaucratic forces for suppressing the real specialist and for cutting our very successful New York Middle East Institute off all financial resources.
inculcate killing Israel disinformation prepared by British Intelligence Services. Jewish Mossad, Shabak and other Israeli Intelligence Services never had brain to cheated by the British...
Here is another terrible fact: all paid professionals
In result vendible paid professionals completely destroy legitimacy and legality of Israel, and British Intelligence Services disinformation about These fundamental discoveries finally establish the true legality and legitimacy of Jewish State on all Palestine.
Our fundamental discovery has undoubtedly proved the following:
1) The Jews are the lawful owners of all Palestine, according to the International Law.
2) Mandate for Palestine is Jewish.
3) Jews have lost over 80% of Jewish land because all Jewish lawyers and officials inculcate people with British Intelligence Services disinformation that Mandate for Palestine is British (and therefore Britain and UN can give this land to anybody).
Even Israeli Ministry of Justice and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs kill Jewish rights for Jewish land via their statements thatthe Mandate for Palestine is British, not Jewish. This killing Israel actions, performed by all Jewish paid professionals, destroy the legitimacy and the legality of Israel.
That's why Israel has lost the rights to defend the land, so Israeli Army can not defend even the tombs of Jewish ancestors...
That's why Israeli Army is completely paralyzed with international criminal court persecutions...

True Jewish Legal Rights for The Land
and
Israel's True Legal Foundation
under International Law
(fundamental breakthrough discovery)
Traitorous Israeli officials teach us – in one way or another – that Britain owned Mandate for Palestine. Therefore they call the Mandate "British". That is 100% false. We have discovered British and International Mandatory Law. Both specifically explained that the "Mandatory" by no means could imply being an owner.
It is also important to notice that all the legal definitions describe "Mandatory" (or "Mandatary" in American spelling) via requirements and obligations, not via rights and permissions.
"His Britannic Majesty" is clearly designated in the Mandate as a "Mandatory". According to the Mandatory Law, that explicitly means that Britain is NOT the owner of the Mandate, and the Mandate is NOT British.
Being the Mandatory for Jewish Mandate for Palestine, Britain signed to have all the legal responsibilities and punishments for breaking the Mandate. So Britain should be kept accountable. This breakthrough legal discovery creates perfect legal basis to protect Israeli Army from all international court persecutions. Together with the Arab-Jewish Treaty on Jewish Homeland in Palestine this fundamental discovery allows to crash the entire backbone of terrorism. Please learn particular details in our concise http://summary.NYMEI.org
IN THE BRITISH LAW we can refer to the "Story on Bailm. Sec. 138; 1 Brown, Civ. Law, 382; Halif. Anal. Civ. Law, 70", to the "Mr. Justice Story", to the explanations of Sir William Jones.
IN THE U.S. LAW we can refer to the explanations of Mr. Chancellor Kent, as well as to many other basic laws and precedents.
All these sources explicitly describe "Mandatory" not as the owner, but the one who "engages to do some act without reward" and "to be when one undertakes, without recompense, to do some act for the other in respect to the thing bailed".
Thus the lawful owners of all Palestine and the lawful owners of Mandate for Palestine are the Jewish people. Jewish ownership of Palestine is based NOT on some "Great Powers" imperialistic decision (as traitorous Israeli officials teach us), but on Arab-Jewish Treaty on Jewish Homeland in Palestine.
Jewish Mandate for Palestine is one of the essential international ratifications of this ownership. The ratificationswas done by the official Arab delegation and by all the nations of the world including Turkey (former sovereign of this territory). Official Arab delegation ratified Arab-Jewish Treaty during Paris Peace Conference. Turkey ratifiedArab-Jewish Treaty together with Jewish Mandate for Palestine via the Treaty of Lausanne.
We have everything to The only problem is traitorous Jewish leaders and Israeli officials who support and even celebrate UN's decision to steal Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria from the Jews - http://MFA.nymei.org , who spread everywhere killing Israel disinformation and who prevent us from using Jewish rights for Jewish land.
Traitorous Jewish leaders and Israeli officials not only celebrate UN's decision to steal Jerusalem from the Jews,evicting Jews from Jerusalem (only 3 miles of it) and aggressively cut the real specialists off all the financial and other resources.
First time in the history our fundamental researches discovered TRUE Jewish Legal Rights for Jewish Land under International Law.

It may also, on the advice of the Mandatory, conclude a special customs agreement with any State the territory of which in 1914 was wholly included in Asiatic Turkey or Arabia.
Article 19
The Mandatory shall adhere on behalf of the Administration of Palestine to any general international conventions already existing, or which may be concluded hereafter with the approval of the League of Nations, respecting the slave traffic, the traffic in arms and ammunition, or the traffic in drugs, or relating to commercial equality, freedom of transit and navigation, aerial navigation and postal, telegraphic and wireless communication or literary, artistic or industrial property.
Article 20
The Mandatory shall co-operate on behalf of the Administration of Palestine, so far as religious, social and other conditions may permit, in the execution of any common policy adopted by the League of nations for preventing and combating disease, including diseases of plants and animals.
Article 21
The Mandatory shall secure the enactment within twelve months from this date, and shall ensure the execution of a Law of Antiquities based on the following rules. This law shall ensure equality of treatment in the matter of excavations and archaeological research to the nationals of all States Members of the League of Nations.
(1)
"Antiquity" means any construction or any product of human activity earlier than the year 1700 A.D.
(2)
The law for the protection of antiquities shall proceed by encouragement rather than by threat.
Any person who, having discovered an antiquity without being furnished with the authorisation referred to in paragraph 5, reports the same to an official of the competent Department, shall be rewarded according to the value of the discovery.
(3)
No antiquity may be disposed of except to the competent Department, unless this Department renounces the acquisition of any such antiquity.
No antiquity may leave the country without an export licence from the said Department.
(4)
Any person who maliciously or negligently destroys or damages an antiquity shall be liable to a penalty to be fixed.
(5)
No clearing of ground or digging with the object of finding antiquities shall be permitted, under penalty of fine, except to persons authorised by the competent Department.
(6)
Equitable terms shall be fixed for expropriation, temporary or permanent, of lands which might be of historical or archaeological interest.
(7)
Authorisation to excavate shall only be granted to persons who show sufficient guarantees of archaeological experience. The Administration of Palestine shall not, in granting these authorisations, act in such a way as to exclude scholars of any nation without good grounds.
(8)
The proceeds of excavations may be divided between the excavator and the competent Department in a proportion fixed by that Department. If division seems impossible for scientific reasons, the excavator shall receive a fair indemnity in lieu of a part of the find.
Article 22
English, Arabic and Hebrew shall be the official languages of Palestine. Any statement or inscription in Arabic on stamps or money in Palestine shall be repeated in Hebrew and any statement or inscription in Hebrew shall be repeated in Arabic.
Article 23
The Administration of Palestine shall recognise the holy days of the respective communities in Palestine as legal days of rest for the members of such communities.
Article 24
The Mandatory shall make to the Council of the League of Nations an annual report to the satisfaction of the Council as to the measures taken during the year to carry out the provisions of the mandate. Copies of all laws and regulations promulgated or issued during the year shall be communicated with the report.
Article 25
In the territories lying between the Jordan and the eastern boundary of Palestine as ultimately determined, the Mandatory shall be entitled, with the consent of the Council of the League of Nations, to postpone or withhold application of such provisions of this mandate as he may consider inapplicable to the existing local conditions, and to make such provision for the administration of the territories as he may consider suitable to those conditions, provided that no action shall be taken which is inconsistent with the provisions of Articles 15, 16 and 18.
Article 26
The Mandatory agrees that, if any dispute whatever should arise between e Mandatory and another Member of the League of Nations relating to the interpretation or the application of the provisions of the mandate, such dispute, if it cannot be settled by negotiation, shall be submitted to the Permanent Court of International Justice provided for by Article 14 of the Covenant of the League of Nations.
Article 27
The consent of the Council of the League of Nations is required for any modification of the terms of this mandate.
Article 28
In the event of the termination of the mandate hereby conferred upon the Mandatory, the Council of the League of Nations shall make such arrangements as may be deemed necessary for safeguarding in perpetuity, under guarantee of the League, the rights secured by Articles 13 and 14, and shall use its influence for securing, under the guarantee of the League, that the Government of Palestine will fully honour the financial obligations legitimately incurred by the Administration of Palestine during the period of the mandate, including the rights of public servants to pensions or gratuities.
