San Remo Mandate

Here is something that I have been repeating for many years. The only entity that was established in Palestine under international law under the San Remo Treaty of 1920 that ended WWI was a homeland for the Jewish people. The Mandate for Palestine was granted to Great Britain by the League of Nations in 1922 under the provisions of the Treaty in order to establish this homeland. But the Treaty/Mandate said nothing about the establishment of a homeland for the Arab people in Palestine. At that time there was no "Palestinian people," the concept was invented later after the Arabs were repeatedly defeated by the Jews in defending their rights in Palestine as the State of Israel. No later resolutions of the UN or any other body could preclude that exclusive Jewish right under the Treaty of San Remo. However, this did not stop the British under Winston Churchill from unilaterally dividing the Mandatory territory and establishing the Arab State of Transjordan (later Jordan) on the East Bank of the Jordan River.

However, there has never been any Arab sovereignty recognized under international law on the West Bank of the River (once occupied by Jordan). The Jewish people have the exclusive right under international law to "settle" in that territory. Whether or not this is a good thing, it is a fact! Of course, Israel could choose to give up that right in negotiations with a Palestinian entity in order to obtain peace.

On a more personal note:

The day after our car had been stolen (correction, in my previous e-mail I meant September and not August!), the Insurance company office in Netanya called me in the morning and told me that I would get a rental car that morning for 25 days. The agent needed a copy of the police report, that I e-mailed to her, but it was all arranged, all she had to do was call the local Avis in Netanya that had been contacted by their head office in Tel Aviv. I went over to the insurance company office and signed some forms and then went to the Avis office nearby, and they had the car waiting for me, in 5 mins I had a big dark blue Ford Focus. It could not have been more efficient (unless they delivered it to my door). She told me that they usually pay for the stolen car in 2-3 weeks, unless the car is found within that time. So being mobile we took my sister and her husband for a drive to the nice park in Ra'anana.

With the electric cart BArbara is able to drive into the center of Netanya, so we have done that three times and this morning we went for a long walk along the tayelet, with Barbara driving her cart. It was great to be able to be mobile in both respects. And now we know how to charge it it's easy and takes only a few minutes to set it up. Not so bad after all.
