90th Anniversary of Palestine Mandate
(Breitbart) Eli Hertz - July 24 marks the 90th anniversary of the League of Nations' "Mandate for Palestine." The entire League of Nations unanimously declared on July 24, 1922: "Whereas recognition has been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country." Article 6 states that "the Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage...close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands."
