The decision that Tory laws criminalising refugee dinghy arrivals are contrary to international law. got a link? It was well publicised, Doc. A UN official representing the UN Secretary General (?) gave evidence at the High Court that the legislation contravened the Refugee Convention. You won't have any problems finding your own links. |

The UK - we were in charge. That's nonsense. No land was given to the Arabs, they continued to live where they had lived for centuries. There were very few Jews in Ottoman Palestine - around 83,000 at the start of the mandate. This figure would grow six-fold to 490,000 before immigration was halted in 1939.
In 1922 89% of the population was Arab.

See my earlier response to Pacifico who claimed the same thing.

Are you seriously saying you don't recall the UN representative's objections to the legislation? Really, Doc? |

See my earlier response to Pacifico who claimed the same thing. On grounds of fairness you might have a point or you might not. If you intend to partition an area to protect a minority, you obviously can't use the fact that they are minority to say all of it goes to the majority. |

The British never had any intention to partition Palestine.

Disperse all the people, Nuke both Palestine and Israel, and make them barren uninhabitable for the next 1000 years, because it's NEVER going to end EVER. Sorry to say it's the only solution, let them get on with their lives elsewhere, and hope their legacy never lives on.
Or better still ...
Chernobyl will be habitable again in about 20,000 years due to the long-lasting effects of ground absorption of radiation. Visiting Chernobyl is now considered safe, but there are still risks associated with touring due to the structural instability of the ruins.
20,000 sounds better.

But surely if the Arabs objected to Jewish immigration they were being racially selective and as such the left should have had no truck with them. Another example of leftist hypocrisy. |

The British never had any intention to partition Palestine. I thought they gave quite a bit to Jordan. |

I think racially selective may be putting it too politely - there has been ethnic cleansing going on in the middle east for centuries.
