	Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Palestine (from Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשת Pleshet, פלשתינה Palestina; Arabic: فلسطين‎ Filastīn, Falastīn) is one of several names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River with various adjoining lands.
		Jund Filastin (Arabic جند فلسطين, literally "the army of military district of Palestine") was a region extending from the Sinai to south of the plain of Acre.
		In principle, the Mandate was meant to be in the nature of a transitory phase until Palestine attained the status of a fully independent nation, a status provisionally recognized in the League's Covenant, but in fact the Mandate's historical evolution did not result in the emergence of Palestine as an independent nation.

	Palestine Mandate
		It has been reported that the Palestine Commission, whose decisions are to be published this week, has been critically examining the text of the mandate by which Great Britain became Mandatory for Palestine.
		The origin of the Mandate text is to be found in the formal Zionist pronouncement made to the Peace Conference in February, 1919, presenting the Zionist view of how the Balfour Declaration should be put into force in Palestine.
		This meant in the case of Palestine that the Government of Great Britain--materially assisted, as we have seen, by the Zionists--should both present the case and approve it.

	The British Mandate for Palestine
		The Palestine Mandate was born out of the ambitions of the British and their promises to the French, the Arabs and the Zionists, as set forth in the Balfour declaration, the Sykes Picot Agreement and the McMahon Correspondence.
		The League Mandate system was tailored to match the colonialist ambitions of the British and French in fact, while paying lip service to the American wishful thinking about self-determination.
		While the Mandate was derived from the Balfour Declaration and based on it, it amplified and interpreted the declaration beyond the meaning of the original wording, perhaps unintentionally.
