This is VERY HELPFUL. I cant believe how many tiring times someone has insisted there are no Palestinians. We are ALL Palestinians there in the 20s! Kenneth Hammond: In actual fact Dorit Korenblum, Under Ottoman rule, the inhabitants of Palestine were Ottoman subjects constituting a sector of the larger Ottoman people. To acquire Palestinian nationality at its first inception, one was required to hold status as an Ottoman citizen under the Ottoman Nationality Law, 1869. When Palestine was legally separated from Turkey on July 24 1923, Ottoman citizens who resided in the territory of Palestine became ipso-factoPalestinian citizens. This being confirmed by the Palestinian Citizenship Order which was enacted by the British in 1925.Hence it is imperative to view Ottoman nationality as it formed the basis of Palestinian nationality in accordance with international law.Palestinian nationality in legal terms became internationally recognised as the the official nationality of the residents of Palestine separate from all other nationalities in 1925. It was article 7 of the mandate for Palestine that legally created the means by which European jews became officially Jewish Palestinians alongside the Arab Palestinians of the day.
