As a trustee, Britain had a fiduciary duty to act in good faith in carrying out the duties imposed by the Mandate.<br /> <br />Furthermore, as the San Remo resolution has never been abrogated, it was and continues to be legally binding between the several parties who signed it.<br /> <br />It is therefore obvious that the legitimacy of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and the Jewish state all derive from the same international agreement at San Remo.Nadene Goldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654020384945801380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141940009976831016.post-53679424328427149692014-02-22T19:25:02.646-08:002014-02-22T19:25:02.646-08:00Notice that the original a little over 1 million A...Notice that the original a little over 1 million Arabs has turned into 8 million who have remained in refugee camps since 1948 rather than relocating. From Daily Alert:Khaled Abu Toameh<br />PA President Mahmoud Abbas is facing criticism from Palestinian refugees for saying that he does not want to "flood" Israel with millions of refugees. Dr. Esam Udwan, an expert on refugee affairs, said, "Who said that there are only five million refugees? The real number is eight million. Abbas mentioned the five million who are registered with UNRWA and benefit from its services. But there are millions of others who do not receive services from UNRWA and are not registered with it. This does not mean that they should be denied the right of return." This is their demand-to flood Israel with Arabs in order to destroy it as the Jewish Homeland. <br />Nadene Goldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654020384945801380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141940009976831016.post-63514930051302705322014-02-22T13:59:15.837-08:002014-02-22T13:59:15.837-08:00The Hauran area is south of Damascus.

Bosra, with its ruins that stretch back to Nabatean times and its massive Roman theatre, is an obvious highlight, but among the other small towns there are more historical gems to be found. Shahba (ancient Philippopolis) was the birthplace of Philip the Arab, the local boy who rose to Roman emperor. Suweida has a small but stunning mosaic museum and Ezraa's church lays claim to be the resting place of St George. Most of the Hauran is within easy reach of Damascus, making exploring the sights here perfect for day trips from the city. Evidently this must be where the Hauranis (Syrians) came from that Tewfik Bey El-Hurani was governor.

The thirty to forty thousand Hauranis now working in Palestine have sent home to their distressed families sums aggregating £100,000, it is estimated in economic circles in Syria.<br />The thoughts of local peasantry are turning more and more to Palestine, what with the economic stress, the widespread agricultural slump, and the plan of French authorities to settle Assyrian refugees from Irad here. This latter move has aroused great indignation locally, and there have been protest meetings and protest memoranda sumbitted. At Aleppo and other places parties of Assyrian refugees have been attacked.<br /><br />Read more: http://www.jta.org/1934/10/02/archive/10000-hauranis-going-to-palestine#ixzz2u5e2D89gNadene Goldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654020384945801380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141940009976831016.post-16067763199501876382014-02-22T13:47:45.290-08:002014-02-22T13:47:45.290-08:00JERUSALEM (Dec. 17)1936

The action is believed to have been taken in accordance with desires of the Palestine Government, which reportedly has instructed its police to detain all vagrant Hauranis and hold them for trial as illegal immigrants unless they returned voluntarily to their country.<br /><br />Read more: http://www.jta.org/1936/12/18/archive/transjordan-closes-doors-to-hauranis#ixzz2u5dVC6NsNadene Goldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654020384945801380noreply@blogger.com
