RE: Boycott Israel
※→ P F Tinmore,, et al,
Yes, this is one of those flip-flops that 'the Arab Palestinians do; depending on what suits them.
When the UN Palestine Commission adjourned Sine Die, it made it perfectly clear, in a publically released forum (Press Release PAL/169), (17 MAY 1948) that: "The Commission has not been dissolved. In fact the resolution of last November 29 has been implemented."
You can hardly get any more plain text and unambiguous as that.
BUT, the more interesting use of A/RES/181(II) comes from the Palestinian Declaration of Independence (1988):
Now when I first say this, I had to read it a couple of times. Then, of course, there are the two more recent resolutions that dredge-up this historic document:
The next time you go to NYC, be sure to stop-by 405 E 42nd St and tell them that "Resolution 181 was rejected and never implemented." While the Arab Palestinians may have rejected it, they cannot use their rejection to stop the self-determination of the Israeli people.
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)Resolution 181 was rejected and never implemented.• The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) made the recommendation options. The UN General Assembly selected A/RES/181(II) 29 November 1947 as the Resolution to adopt.
※ As originally stated, the announcement from the Provisional Government was was issued:
§ Pursuant to Chapter I, UN Charter, Article 1(2) → principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples.
§ After completing the minimum "Steps Preparatory to Independence" - Part 1, Section "B" - A/RES/181(II).
What else do you have?

Despite the historical injustice inflicted on the Palestinian Arab people resulting in their dispersion and depriving them of their right to self-determination, following upon UN General Assembly Resolution 181 (1947), which partitioned Palestine into two states, one Arab, one Jewish, yet it is this Resolution that still provides those conditions of international legitimacy that ensure the right of the Palestinian Arab people to sovereignty.
Now when I first say this, I had to read it a couple of times. Then, of course, there are the two more recent resolutions that dredge-up this historic document:
√ A/RES/43/177 (15 December 1988) wherein the UN Acknowledges the proclamation of the State of Palestine by the Palestine National Council on 15 November 1988:
√ A/RES/67/19 (4 December 2012), wherein the UN Decides to accord to Palestine non-member observer State status in the United Nations:
→ Recalling its resolution 181 (II) of 29 November 1947, in which,inter alia, it called for the establishment of an Arab State and a Jewish State in Palestine.
√ A/RES/67/19 (4 December 2012), wherein the UN Decides to accord to Palestine non-member observer State status in the United Nations:
→ Recalling its resolution 181 (II) of 29 November 1947,

F. ADMISSION TO MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNITED NATIONS; A/RES/181 (II)
When the independence of either the Arab or the Jewish State as envisaged in this plan has become effective and the declaration and undertaking, as envisaged in this plan, have been signed by either of them, sympathetic consideration should be given to its application for admission to membership in the United Nations in accordance with Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations.
