If Israel were a little less busy with care and focused on what is really important, we would have to embark today on a worldwide information campaign focused on one thing only: a founding document, which was accepted exactly 100 years ago.
On July 24, 1922, the League of Nations, the organization that represented all sovereign states and reflected the entire international community, approved the mandate document for the Land of Israel (Palestine in Palestine) and unanimously decided that ownership of it would be given to the Jewish people.
Unlike other documents, this decision of the League of Nations is legally binding - even today.
It has never been canceled or changed.
Her words are not guilty of fake political correctness or a hypocritical attempt to pretend that instead of truth only narratives exist.
The League of Nations heard all sides, and stated: They recognize the historical connection of the Jewish people to their homeland as a basis for the revival of their national home there.
The decision of the League of Nations states clearly and decisively to which nation this land belongs, without "but", without "about" and without qualification.
It's that simple: the Land of Israel should belong to the Jews.
It is interesting that this statement did not cause any uproar or opposition, for the simple reason - everyone knew that this was the land of the people of Israel, even though at that time only a minority of them lived there.
Those who sympathized with the Jews and even helped them in spirit and material in the historic journey of returning home to the Land of Israel knew this.
Those who held a grudge against the Jews knew this just as well.
Not for nothing, when they wanted to show the hated Jews that they were no longer welcome in exile, they shouted to them "Go to Palestine".
Even when the anti-Semites of all nationalities wanted to get rid of the Jews, they knew very well where their place was.
And above all, all the others knew this, Christians and Muslims, educated and ignorant - the great majority, who neither loved nor hated the sons of Moses, but recognized that their true place from time immemorial was not in Warsaw or Marrakesh, but in the distant Holy Land around Jerusalem.
You don't have to be Jewish (nor do you have to love them) to be a Zionist.
The decision of the League of Nations cemented the exclusive Jewish right to the land in international law.
Despite this, and despite the unequivocal nature of the statement, official Israel rarely relies on it in recent decades, especially since the Oslo Accords.
Instead of bringing the decision before any international forum, spreading it widely, making it accessible to every journalist and every school student, it is put away in hidden drawers, as if someone is ashamed of the international community knowing the rights of the Jews.
What is it similar to?
For a litigant who would show up for trial and omit from the judge's eyes the most compelling and convincing reasoning for his justification.
We would suspect him that he probably intentionally wants to lose.
Since the post-Zionist trends spread to the Israeli elites, Israel under their leadership acts as if it wants to lose, at least in the arena of global public opinion.
The decision of the League of Nations is our convincing answer to anyone who challenges our right to the Land of Israel.
We did not formulate it, but the nations of the world, but we could not have formulated it better.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
