EDITOR'S NOTE: The term MANDATE used by The League of Nations needs an explanation. When the First World War was ended many people & countries found themselves no longer dominated by the Ottoman Empire, especially throughout The Middle East. Rather than let these newly freed people fend for themselves and try to establish their own governments, the League members determined which countries would need supervision and guidance. Those People or Regions would be under the control of one of the ALLIED POWERS, for such time as was required to establish peace and setup a workable civil government, Those regions were, therefore subject to a written document called a MANDATE, with one of the Allied Powers, designated as a kind of mentor and/or custodian.

Since Great Britain had made favorable comment in The Balfour Letter, regarding "a Jewish national home", high level Zionist Jews from the USA and Great Britain -- many were present at all League activities -- forced the establishment of a PALESTINE MANDATE, over the objections of the Palestinian leaders who said they were perfectly able to govern themselves. British troops occupied The Holy Land until 1948 and a Zionist Commission moved into the area to essentially "occupy" the area and eventually take over the Holy Shrines and best land for their own. To the consternation of the Palestinians, Great Britain appointed a Jew, Lord Samuels as the High Commissioner in the region! The Palestinians who objected to the occupation were driven out into the desert (into Gaza Strip and the West Bank areas).

The document below spells out the written orders by which Britain would enforce The Palestine MANDATE. The Zionists, however, had other ideas as to how the region should be organized! However, in 1922, they did not yet have enough Jews in the area. By using illegal immigration, the Zionists increased their population over the next twenty years. Note in the below document how the Zionists (who wrote most of these instructions) incorporated the Balfour Letter into the MANDATE giving it permanence and greater apparent legality! An objective reading of the Balfour Letter does NOT give the Jews absolute permission to move into the region and occupy it! Yet, the Zionist Jews insisted it did grant them permission and NOT ONE WORLD LEADER EXCEPT U.S. PRESIDENT WILSON tried to stop the unconscionable occupation and theft of that Land by the Zionists!

The Palestine Mandate  July, 1922

    The Council of the League of Nations:

         Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the
    purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the
    Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory
    selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of
    Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within
    such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and

         Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the
    Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the
    declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the
    Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said
    Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home
    for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing
    should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of
    existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and
    political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country; and

         Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical
    connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds
    for reconstituting their national home in that country; and

         Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have selected His Britannic
    Majesty as the Mandatory for Palestine; and

         Whereas the mandate in respect of Palestine has been
    formulated in the following terms and submitted to the Council of
    the League for approval; and

         Whereas His Britannic Majesty has accepted the mandate in
    respect of Palestine and undertaken to exercise it on behalf of the
    League of Nations in conformity with the following provisions; and

         Whereas by the afore-mentioned Article 22 (paragraph 8), it is
    provided that the degree of authority, control or administration to
    be exercised by the Mandatory, not having been previously agreed
    upon by the Members of the League, shall be explicitly defined by
    the Council of the League Of Nations;

         confirming the said Mandate, defines its terms as follows:

         The Mandatory shall have full powers of legislation and of
    administration, save as they may be limited by the terms of this
    mandate.

    ART. 2.

         The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country
    under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will
    secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down

    and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the
    inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.

    ART. 3.

    home and the interests of the Jewish population in Palestine, and,
    subject always to the control of the Administration to assist and
    take part in the development of the country.

         The Zionist organization, so long as its organization and
    constitution are in the opinion of the Mandatory appropriate, shall
    be recognized as such agency. It shall take steps in consultation
    with His Britannic Majesty's Government to secure the co-operation
    of all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the
    Jewish national home.

    and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced,

    afore-mentioned privileges and immunities on August 1st, 1914, shall
    have previously renounced the right to their re-establishment, or
    shall have agreed to their non-application for a specified period,

    having regard, among other things, to the desirability of promoting
    the close settlement and intensive cultivation of the land.

         The Administration may arrange with the Jewish agency
    mentioned in Article 4 to construct or operate, upon fair and
    equitable terms, any public works, services and utilities, and to
    develop any of the natural resources of the country, in so far as
    these matters are not directly undertaken by the Administration.
    Any such arrangements shall provide that no profits distributed by
    such agency, directly or indirectly, shall exceed a reasonable rate of

    by the Mandatory, who shall be responsible solely to the League of
    Nations in all matters connected herewith, provided that nothing in
    this article shall prevent the Mandatory from entering into such
    arrangements as he may deem reasonable with the Administration
    for the purpose of carrying the provisions of this article into
    effect; and provided also that nothing in this mandate shall be
    construed as conferring upon the Mandatory authority to interfere
    with the fabric or the management of purely Moslem sacred
    shrines, the immunities of which are guaranteed.

    ART. 14.

         A special commission shall be appointed by the Mandatory to
    study, define and determine the rights and claims in connection with

         The Mandatory shall see that complete freedom of conscience
    and the free exercise of all forms of worship, subject only to the

    nationality.

    ART. 17.

         The Administration of Palestine may organise on a voluntary
    basis the forces necessary for the preservation of peace and order,
    and also for the defence of the country, subject, however, to the
    supervision of the Mandatory, but shall not use them for purposes
    other than those above specified save with the consent of the
    Mandatory. Except for such purposes, no military, naval or air
    forces shall be raised or maintained by the Administration of

    Mandatory, impose such taxes and customs duties as it may consider
    necessary, and take such steps as it may think best to promote the
    development of the natural resources of the country and to
    safeguard the interests of the population. 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.

    ART. 19.

    ART. 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 authorization 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.

    damages an antiquity shall be liable to a penalty to be fixed.

    or permanent, of lands which might be of historical or
    archaeological interest.

         (7) Authorization to excavate shall only be granted to persons
    who show sufficient guarantees of archaeological experience. The
    Administration of Palestine shall not, in granting these
    authorizations, 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.

    ART. 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.

    the respective communities in Palestine as legal days of rest for the
    members of such communities.

         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

    during the year shall be communicated with the report.

    ART. 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.

    ART. 26.

         The Mandatory agrees that, if any dispute whatever should
    arise between the 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.

    ART. 27.

         The consent of the Council of the League of Nations is required
    for any modification of the terms of this mandate.

    ART. 28.

    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

    forwarded by the Secretary-General of the League of Nations to all
    members of the League.

COMMENT:

A careful reading will reveal to the objective person that whoever wrote this document was careful to incorporate all the things the Zionist-Jews wanted to see in the document so that the Balfour Declaration would be permanently set in the Mandate charge. Much of this document was drafted by young Jewish lawyers from Harvard University under the direction of Professor Felix Frankfurter, who was part of the U.S. delegation to the Paris Peace Conference and the follow-up work of the League of Nations. Frankfurter, later to become the second Jew to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, was designated by Associate Justice Louis Brandeis, the head of the Organization of Zionism in the U.S., to facilitate the writing of such documents as circumstances required. They were at The League headquarters to be sure the Mandate document would clearly authorize every possible consideration that would favor the Zionists intent to "takeover" a major portion of the region as the future State of Israel. None of the Allied Powers showed any concern over the obvious Conflict of Interest; in fact, it appears that Zionists had carefully prepared the other Powers to accept the inevitability of the Jews occupying the Holy Land! This point is further verified by the response of the Paris Peace Conference to President Wilson's objection to Jews establishing a national home in Palestine WITHOUT surveying the inhabitants of that region to make sure they could react to possible return of thousands of Jews to The Holy Land! Wilson's request to do the survey was accepted in-principle but England, France and Japan refused to designate members for a survey team to conduct the actual survey. Wilson then appointed an all American Commission to do the survey which was completed in 31 days! When the Commission's Report was presented to the Peace Conferees, they refused to recognize it, saying that the work of Conference was closed. Wilson apparently never believed or understood that his own Jewish friends such as Judge Brandeis had undermined his authority in Paris. Zionists continued to harass Wilson's efforts to get The U.S. Senate to ratify the treaty and the 14 Point Plan for settling the ending of the First World War! Already in poor health due to several strokes, Zionists craftily worked to prevent Wilson from possibly scuttling the great work done by Frankfurter and his team.
