Abstract | ||||
This study aimed to read, analyze, and present documents, arguments, and research works that explored the legal and ethical issues raised by the "Balfour Declaration" and the mandate system in Palestine. It contends that the establishment of a Jewish state violates international rules, deeming the idea unjust and asserting that attempts to resolve the issue are based on flawed foundations, starting with accepting the current situation and ignoring the Palestinian reality. The study showcases examples of individuals who played roles in this context: Emil Ghouri, Tawfiq Canaan, Wadih al-Bustani, Antoine Sliem Canaan, Sami Haddawi, George Antonius, and Henry Cattan. They represented the legal-political thought in Palestine and its national role, addressing the glaring conflict between the sanctity with which the English view their private commitments and the levity with which the English nation deals with its commitments to others | ||||
