How could you possibly not prejudice the native populace and create a new state for a foreign group of people?

That is purely a contradiction regardless of how you spin it.

It was put in simply to make people happy while they removed the muslims.

As it wasn't in the original draft... and was added in... according to your source... so anti-semitism would rise.

Also the modern defintion wasn't concocted until the 1950's...

They were just softening their land grab.  I mean... look at your own link.  They specifically state they were considering giving the Jews Uganda.  The UK was detrimined to give the jews some land... and Israel was the place the Jews wanted.  The British really didn't care who they moved out.

back then it likely meant they simply wouldn't treat the people with undue harm or indignity in forcing them to move.

Actually looking at it.

"the primary goal of the ILO today is to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity."

Nothing there really would of been a problem.  Outside of equity... which again... would be more of a personal opinion whether or not things were equitable.
