Israel’s legal title to the Land is ironclad under international law - and it was permanently reaffirmed on this day in 1946.
On April 18, 1946, the League of Nations dissolved itself & transferred its “sacred trust” to the United Nations: the Mandate for Palestine.
That legally binding document, unanimously approved by all 51 member states on July 24, 1922, granted the Jewish people irrevocable title to settle anywhere in western Palestine - the roughly 10,000 square miles between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea (today’s Israel, Gaza, and the so-called “West Bank”).
Britain had already sliced off 77% of the original Mandate to create Transjordan (today’s Jordan) out of “eastern Palestine” as a reward for the Hashemites. The remainder - from the river to the sea - remained the Jewish National Home under international law.
“Palestine” was never an Arab state, never a nationality, and never even an Arabic word. It derives from the Roman provincial name Syria Palaestina, imposed in 135 CE after the Bar Kokhba Revolt to erase the name Judea and its Jewish identity. The term itself comes from the ancient Philistines - ancient Aegean enemies of the Jews.
Under Ottoman and British rule, local Arabs considered themselves part of Greater Syria. British Mandate documents spoke of “Jews and Arabs of Palestine” - never “Jews and Palestinians.” The flagship institutions (Palestine Post, Palestine Symphony Orchestra, Anglo-Palestine Bank) were all Jewish.
Crucially, the Mandate reserved political rights to self-determination for the Jews alone. Arabs received full civil rights and their own political rights in four other mandates: Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Transjordan.
Article 80 of the UN Charter preserved every Jewish right under the Mandate when the League dissolved.
Israel’s legal title isn’t a “settler-colonial” fever dream. It is the last unamended international accord on the land; and it remains in force to this day.
They’ve spent eight decades gaslighting the world with a fabricated “indigenous” peoplehood that never existed before the 1960s. The documents don’t lie.
