on edit I'm adding this link:
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Palestine_Mandate
This wiki source contains the entire text, word for word, with no commentary, so with not even an inadvertent skew/bias in the presentation.
To be sure, the world has moved on since the time of the British Mandate!
Furthermore, I have some doubts re. whether this directive is entirely consistent... but nevertheless, it is what it is.
I don't see the point in disparaging a wiki source. All sources tend to be skewed to a purpose, some more than others, and shira's source
http://www.mythsandfacts.org/
seems more "hilariously" devoted to such an end than Wikipedia. Nevertheless, mythsandfacts.org states a case based on embedded quotations, so it has every right to be heard. The embedded quotations at the very least guarantee that the case presented is intended to be relevant. Likewise other sources using embedded quotations which might present a contrary case have a right to be heard, for the same reason. In fact, there's a lot of empty heat in I/P and this focus on actual historical documentation of attempts to actualize a regime of international law based on some notion of "justice for all" is a breath of fresh air. IMO.
