Israel-Beacon of tolerant, democratic freedom; Palestine-Terrorist run war machine

The U.N. is irrelevant, nobody cares what they think or want except the tyrannical regimes that seek legitimacy from them. I say kick them the hell out of this county and let them set up shop in Saudi Arabia. We'll see how hey like it there living under Shariah law.

That was in nineteen forty eight and Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson had to work hard to defeat their block back then.

Now it is far more problematic. The UN of today is not the UN of forty eight.

Considering there are 55 Muslim countries who vote as the largest block in the UN, there is no doubt that many of 'their' (a majority of the 'some' you speak towards) non binding resolutions are passed.

Was it not the UN who gave legitimacy to the state of Israel?

United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine

The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a resolution adopted on 29 November 1947 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Its title was United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) Future Government of Palestine.

The resolution recommended the termination of the British Mandate for Palestine and the partition of the territory into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, with the Jerusalem-Bethlehem area being under special international protection, administered by the United Nations. The resolution also contained a plan for an economic union between the proposed states, and a plan for the protection of religious and minority rights. The resolution sought to address the conflicting objectives and claims to the Mandate territory of two competing nationalist movements, Zionism (Jewish nationalism) and Arab nationalism, as well as to resolve the plight of Jews displaced as a result of the Holocaust. The resolution called for the withdrawal of British forces and termination of the Mandate by 1 August 1948, and establishment of the new independent states by 1 October 1948. A transitional period under United Nations auspices was to begin with the adoption of the resolution, and lasting until the establishment of the two states. However, war broke out and the partition plan was never implemented by the Security Council.

Actually, the UN had nothing to do with the creation of Israel. Resolution 181 was a General Assembly resolution that was to be sent to the Security Council for approval and implementation. The Security Council never addressed resolution 181. The resolution was stillborn. It was never implemented.

Georgie and P F Tinmore do the exact same thing, all they do is repeat or cut and paste the info they get off the anti-Israel web-sites. They don't really have an original thought that’s why they have tons of neg reps they are the kings.

But in 1947 the General Assembly did adopt just such a solution, in clear contravention of the wishes of the then majority of the population of Palestine. Like so many later UN resolutions, 181 was never implemented in accordance with all of the terms adopted in 1947.

International law, in the sense of having any substantial impact on the actions of great powers or developments on the ground in the Israeli-Palestinian theater, has for decades proven almost totally irrelevant. Foreign powers, and local and regional actors alike, have consistently ignored, resisted, violated or condemned international legitimacy. Quigley is fully cognizant of this, and candidly admits that “most writers on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict find an emphasis on legal entitlement to be unrealistic, even counterproductive” (p.xii). Nevertheless, he asserts that he remains convinced that a peace “not based on justice may turn out to be no peace at all” (p.xii). Precisely so. But in this Age of Terror, with an American administration apparently unimpressed by international legitimacy and evidently committed to an almost endless war against al Qaa’ida, can Professor Quigley realistically expect even a modicum of deference to the prescriptions of international law? The fact that international legitimacy overwhelmingly supports the Palestinian rather than the Israeli case makes any application or enforcement of it difficult to imagine.

Nothing to do with reality since it is so easily seen to be lopsidedly pro-Palestinian and pro-Arab. Negotiations will be with people far more understanding of reality than this intellectual, that is if any negotiations ever occur. I wonder.

Useless to reality, but a decent read if you want a skewed outlook. I can see why you recommend it.

The Palestinians constantly call for peace based on international law.

Israel consistently says no, no, no.

It is easy to see who is on what side of the law.
