Wonderful compilation , Kudos !
Now , let’s all send a copy to our Presidents/Prime Ministers/Members of Congress-MPs , and ask them :
‘ As a country we can be judge by the friends and people we support . Do you support a rogue country with such a UN record ? If yes , you must explain since your support would make you and our Country an Accessory to Crime , a criminal offence under International and Local Law ‘ .
Just do it ! Please .
Thank you ,

Doru, good to see that from Canada. I lived there for some years and am pretty shocked with Harper´s unconditional support of Israel. The Crime Minister, as he is now being called, even refused to ask for a 2-state solution. I hope you all go to the streets and storm Ottawa with massive protests!!
Thought provoking compilation of quotes to say the least…
Res. 93 (May 18, 1951) – Finds that Israeli airstrikes on Syria on April 5, 1951 constitutes “a violation of the cease-fire”, and decides that Arab civilians expelled from the demilitarized zone by Israel should be allowed to return.

I was also ashamed to hear that our pitifully small 6 plane air force was sent to bomb the middle east under Steven Harper, and I find him guilty of war crimes.
Nice thought. Trouble is – how many of the countries we’d send to, have not also repeatedly violated international law similarly?
There is a huge gap between us (Jews) and our enemies not just in ability but in morality, culture, sanctity of life, and conscience. They are our neighbors here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few hundred meters away, there are people who do not belong to our continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy.” Israeli president Moshe Katsav.

David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): “If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti – Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.

(Certainly the FBI’s cover-up of the Israeli spy ring/phone tap scandal suggests that Mr. Sharon may not have been joking.)
” … we should prepare to go over to the offensive with the aim of smashing Lebanon, Trans-jordan and Syria… The weak point in the Arab coalition is Lebanon [for] the Moslem regime is artificial and easy to undermine. A Christian state should be established… When we smash the [Arab] Legions strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan, too, and then Syria will fall.

I dare you!
Thought provoking compilation of quotes to say the least…
Jewish racism is endemic in Israel
Really? Do tell!
Read the comment. Then repeat your inane response. Yeesh.
Jews are allowed to be racist. But you can’t call them that or you’ll be an anti-Semite.

Jeremy R. Hammond , thank you for this comprehensive compilation of data that will be of great use to writers and activists concerned with the role and policies of Zionist Israel. Your work and contribution is deeply appreciated by many people. I have also added the article to my two blogs:
http://sudhan.wordpress.com/
http://nasir-khan.blogspot.com/2010/01/rogue-state-israeli-violations-of-un.html
Thanks, Nasir.
Oh Jeremy, misleading 3rd World Folks. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Just sad.
I would merely note how you failed to present any argument to support your “misleading” claim.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_history_in_Palestine#The_Muslim_conquest_and_Islamization_of_the_region_.28638.E2.80.931099.29
america has caused all of thisand she is failing so will israel who relies on the 5billion handout so it weapons can kill maim and destroy the palestinians.It will end sooner than we think.
Brilliant compilation Jeremy. Very handy while describing the Zionist entity’s rogue state of affairs…
Yeah, brilliantly unbiased! My arse. The author looks rather fetching in his “free Palestine” T-shirt!
Thanks greatly, that was truly helpful info.
You’re right, Yuval – if you don’t look, you won’t find them.
What you WILL find are several Security Council resolutions that condemn Muslim states for the same crimes that Israel is plainly guilty of, and some of those are Chapter 7 resolutions, authorizing the use of force.
What you WON’T find in the annals is the litany of failed Security Council resolutions that rightly condemn Israel’s egregious human rights and IHL violations – all scuttled by use of or threat of US/UK veto.
Alas, “bias”, it is true: the UN tends to be biased against countries with abominable human rights records. Jerks.
The fact that you labored to compile this list of 79 odd resolutions is in itself commendable. We haave to assume you have been intellectually honest as most of us would not be able to expend the same effort in replicating this herculean effort.
Decisions by the United Nations are considered part of international law. Security Council resolutions are binding. Israel itself was created by an act of the UN. Thus the Arabs cannot deny its legitimacy. Similarly Israel cannot deny the legitimacy of UNSC resolutions. And those Americans who spew hell fire and brimstone on the UN cannot have their cake and eat it. They have successfully used the UN to protect Israel from any international retribution. Equally, they have provided Israel the cover it needed to destroy the Palestinians as a nation.
Without the UN there would be no Israel. Without the UN there would have been a Palestine state.
Israel exists because Israel is the Jewish land, not because the UNSC.
Well apparently they think all lands are theirs, because they are everywhere except in their own country.
Sad, but of course, Germans or British or French anywhere in the World is jolly. No matter whom they butchered to stay there. Got it. Thanks for the insight.
Jews are Jews, and nothing else. You can’t claim to be a Jew and German. Surely you already knew that Mrs. Cohen. After all, you’re a Cohen.
Butchered stories made up by the Jews. The Talmud is a good example of that!! The Jews are the best storytellers in the world, the old testament is a great example of that! Numbers in Auschwitz changed from 4mil to 1.5 mil and the last number is still a blatant lie!!
Another Jew-hating ignoramus. Stop making a tit of yourself. Do yourself a favour, read the qur’an. Then you can comment on storytelling. You probably think islam is a religion of peace, right??
Did you really just give us the Jew-hater rant? You realize, less and less people buy into that anymore. You have wasted it.
They don’t have a country. They are living a lie in Palestine.
Well said!
Israel is a “Jewish state” today because the Zionists ethnically cleansed Palestine of most of its Arab inhabitants.
Not exactly something to be proud of.
Jeremy, there are no “Palestinians” in Israel. There is no “Palestine. There are however, 1.5 million Israeli Arabs. I guess that would make the Israelis the most incompetent at “Ethnic Cleansing” in all History. Certainly don’t meet Arab Standards for Ethnic Cleansing, they cleaned out, butchered and expropriated nearly all the Ancient Jewish Communities of the MENA with their persecutions. Yemen is about the last… So Jeremy, before you put on your Jew Hate hat quite so snugly on the hat rack you call your head, you may wish to 1)Learn what Ethnic Cleansing” is, vs throwing out your libelous nonsense, and 2) Read the League of Nations Mandate to Great Britain, The San Remo Accords, and the Treaty of Sevres. Good luck with that! By the way, my Mizrahi Family were “Ethnically Cleansed” out of our homes in Hebron, by a gang of raping (my 11 year old Aunt Rachel) thieving, Arabs in 1929. And my Family was there when Omar and the Arabs invaded up from the Incense Road in 632 CE. We were there when the East Romans fought the Sassanids, the only time we were not in Hebron was while Hebron was ruled by the Crusaders. And we returned to both there and Jerusalem with the Kurds. Then in 1948 we lost our homes in east Jerusalem due to Jordanian Arab ethnic cleansing. And you really need to learn the definitions of the terms and concepts you throw around. Someone might note you haven’t a clue about what you are talking about.
The facts are as I stated them.
LOL! You may wish to check the UN Charter. Creating a listing of Useless Nations Resolutions doesn’t automatically carry through into these resulting in Violations.
The UN Charter makes it clear that the only binding resolutions are issued under Chapter VII, these all relate to keeping the peace and are extreme measure. The rest are advisory. There have been ZERO Chapter VII resolutions regarding Israel, so Israel has breached no UN resolutions, as ALL have been advisory (usually advising of a condemnation), and therefore there is no requirement to act. Here is a list of Chapter VII resolution, and the Wiki page that relates,
The list of Chapter VII interventions includes:
United Nations Security Council Resolution 82 (Korea)
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 (Afghanistan)
United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor
United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo
International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone
United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda
United Nations Angola Verification Mission II
United Nations Operation in Somalia II
United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission
United Nations Protection Force (former Yugoslavia)
Oil-for-Food Programme (Iraq)
United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti
United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 (Gulf War)
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 (Libya)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_VII_of_the_United_Nations_Charter
Sorry you’re such a Jew Hater, your choice, but your apparent hypocrisy in your articles implications really did need addressing. Good luck with your not the Journal for Foreign Policy. They actually attempt fact checking. And this is what happens when your prejudices overrun your journalistic ethics.
First, the argument that Security Council resolutions condemning Israel for violating international law are not legally binding is moot, since the international law Israel is being condemned for in the respective resolutions is binding on Israel.
Second, Chapter VII deals with enforcement mechanisms. That resolutions not passed under Chapter VII are unenforceable does not render them “advisory”. They are legally binding as all members agree under Article 2 to act according to the principles of the UN Charter and Article 5 obligates members “to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter.”
Article 25 of the Charter: “Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council.” When, and there are many such examples, a Chapter 6 resolution says “the Security Council DEMANDS that Israel immediately cease measures in and around Ramallah including the destruction of Palestinian civilian and security infrastructure” this is a decision of the Security Council and Israel is bound to accept it. Chapter 7 Resolutions are decisions to ENFORCE international law. Israel has been able to escape enforcement action only because the US has vetoed any proposed Chapter 7 Resolution.
But David Gerald Fincham….had you bothered to actually read the UN Charter, the only suggestions that carry the weight of requirement are those done by the security council under Article 7. And nary a one of those has occurred against Israel.
Mara Cohen, your assumption that David hasn’t read the UN Charter is curious given the fact he’s just quoted from it for you. Your assertion that member states are not bound by the Charter is equally curious given the excerpt he’s just quoted proves otherwise.
Ignorance is one thing. Willful ignorance is quite another.
Mara: In 1971 the International Court of Justice was asked by the Security Council to give a ruling in a case concerning a Resolution on Namibia. [https://www.jstor.org/stable/757586] In the process of deciding this issue they needed to consider the question as to whether Chapter VI resolutions could be binding on Member States. This is what they concluded:
“It has been contended that Article 25 of the Charter applies only to enforcement measures adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter. It is not possible to find in the Charter any support for this view. Article 25 applies to the decisions of the Security Council adopted in accordance with the Charter. The language of a resolution should be carefully analysed before a conclusion can be made as to its binding effect.”
If, in my example, the resolution had ‘called upon’ Israel to do something, that is a polite request, and is not binding. But it DEMANDED that Israel do something, and that is clearly intended to be binding. Here’s another example: resolution 242 said that a just and lasting peace REQUIRED withdrawal of Israel forces from territories occupied… this is also clearly a binding resolution.
Mara: I believe you are a victim of Zionist hasbara. If any Zionists have told you that Chapter VI Resolutions are not binding, they were lying to you. Please read the Charter for yourself, and make up your own mind. Like the judges of the ICJ, you will find nothing in the Charter to suggest that Chapter VI resolutions are “only advisory”.
OMG! I just realized you are a participant in that orgy of Jew Hate called “Mondoweiss”, in other words you are a lying son of facist whore. Whatever you walking adverts for retroactive abortion consider yourselves, I think you should actually be required to live as a dhemmi in a Muslim Brotherhood enclave, you might learn, or they might kill you, either way, it would have to be an improvement over what you are now. Whatever weirdness ever possessed you to become an AraboIslamist Supremacist, it now makes sense why you would be attempting to twist standard understandings of the UN Charter. I am always fascinated by “the banality of evil”, and you are right up there with the basic lying fascist mass wadders that Mondoweiss attracts to it’s columns. Bad ‘cess to you and yours.
I notice you have addressed this comment to yourself. I have also noticed that you have revealed a great deal about your own intelligence and character in this comment. The readers of Foreign Policy Journal will not want to hear from you again.
YOUR “facts” are how your pre-judged opinion sees them.
“..the Zionists ethnically cleansed Palestine of most of its Arab inhabitants.” – The Arab invaders, you mean? The zionists meaning the people who want their homeland back from the Arab invaders? Islam isn’t happy at just having Mecca & Medina, they want Jerusalem & the entire planet under their rule. The Zionists only want the land of Israel back. Islam wants to conquer the entire planet & subjugate us unbelievers. That is the ultimate goal. What does “allah” in qur’an 8:39 say?? Do you have any clue what “prophet” muhammad did during his life? This whole conflict is a continuation of that. Read about the life of muhammad, read the qur’an & hadith, then you’ll see why muslim armies are still invading & conquering other people’s lands, TODAY & TOMORROW, taking schoolkids as sex-slaves, beheading people for being unbelievers, hanging gay people, apostates & women who have been accused of adultery, yet you are on the side of an ideology which commands its followers to kill you?! Wake up. Read about the life of muhammad, then you’ll see why muslims will never rest until all Jews are dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_antisemitism
No, I don’t mean fictional Arab “invaders”; I mean the Arab inhabitants of Palestine were ethnically cleansed by the Zionist forces.

Therei is an old biblical zionist dream to build an empere from the Euphrates River all the way to the Nilo River. zionist jews committed appalling massacred of the non-jews people, the goyim as they refers to the non jews. Why do you think the jews have been expelled all around the world? Because they are ciminals impostors! pure ashenazisi.
“zionist dream to build an empere from the Euphrates River all the way to the Nilo River.” – Fine by me. They were there MILLENNIA before the muslims invaded in the 7th Century. AD. In contrast, islam wants to CONQUER THE ENTIRE PLANET & WIPE OUT EVERY OTHER RELIGION, as commanded in the qur’an itself in 8:39, 9:29 & 3:85. Also to kill, conquer & enslave unbelievers, as islam has done & continues to do from day 1.
Funny that the farther of history Herodotus (500BC) never mentioned the Jews or Israel, only Palestine.
Funny that. No mention of muslims in the bible either. No mention of muslim “Palestinians” until Yasser Arafat.
You’re another ignoramus who’s never read the qur’an or the life story of muhammad either, aren’t you? Be honest?
You don’t understand why Jews have to protect themselves.
Kind of a stupid comment as the Islamic world only started in the 7th century.
The real Jews don’t have to protect themselves .The false Jews , that is another story.
On 1st August 1925 all the residents of Palestine, formerly Turkish subjects, became Palestinian citizens. The majority of them were Muslims. What is this nonsense about “no Muslim Palestinians”?
Sorry for the late question:
Why do Jews have to protect themselves from the rest of the world?
What did they do that probably makes them the most hated minority group in the world?
My folks came from Russia where they were a minority religious group. Except for the civil war during the early 1900’s and the massive change in Russian gov’t, they were well accepted there.and would have stayed had not all there property been confiscated by the State.
They bought (you know, with money) their land there and worked it for over 150 years. When they were kicked out, they didn’t make any plans on going back, because they thought God had given them the land. Hell, no, they moved on, came to North America, bought more land and carried on.
Just who the hell do you think gave you the right to kick an indigenous.people off the land they had been working for a 1000 years and claim it as yours? My folks didn’t ask for reparations, and they lost over a million people that the communists killed.
What makes you think your people are so special? And don’t give me that “God said” bullshit. That applies to Israelis as well as Palestinians..
Before you went on a rant, you asked me a question? “Why do Jews have to protect themselves from the rest of the world?” – As far as the Nazi’s were concerned, success. Jealousy of success. The stats don’t lie. Jews are over-represented in the world’s most brilliant minds, past & present. (I’m not a Jew, by the way, I’m an indigenous British atheist.) Islamic Jew-hatred is rife in its “holy” books. That’s the reason muslims are brainwashed to hate Jews. The Jews in 7th Century Arabia never accepted muhammad as a prophet & they mocked him. He wiped out every last Jew from the Arabian peninsula. That’s the reason.
Even in Biblical Studies you can find ‘Palestine’ plenty of times.
You are a Hitler disciple.
The muslim invaders (you referred to as “Palestinians”) weren’t there in “Biblical times”! Lol! They never invaded Jerusalem until the 7th Century A.D. The irony! You are the Hitler disciple. Hitler was pals with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, as they both wanted the same thing, the extermination of the Jews. You would like that, wouldn’t you? Another apologist for islam. An apologist for the hanging of gays, the death penalty for blasphemy & apostasy. FGM, stonings for suspected adultery, beheadings, child brides, etc. You lot disgust me.
LOLOLOL!!!! Rosa Krause, quit being such an ignorant dimwit. If you had ever been to Rome, you might have noticed the Arch of Titus? When Rome conquered Judea (Land of the Jews) they renamed it as part of their Province of “Syria-Palestina”. The Latin term for that area was called “Palestine” ever after by Romans and their religio/political children, the Europeans. It comes from the Hebrew word “P’leshtim” for the european Sea People invaders who came into the area of the Levant at the time of the Bronze Age collapse. It means “Invaders”.
LOL!!! Ethnic Cleansing normally involves the clearance of a resident population in the majority of it’s entirety. This is certaily not the circumstance with Israel, but is however the Lefty Parrot Litany. Tell me Jeremy? What will occur when any of your Readers actually go to Israel and see any of the 1.5 Million Arab Israelis who live there. You must consider the Israeli Jews either the most incompetent people in all history, or you have your facts in error. Sounds like you need a good course in statistics, as well as history.
Well, then, by your own standard, Palestine was ethnically cleansed, since the 700,000 who fled or were forcibly expelled and never allowed to return to their homes constituted more than half of the Arab population.
Mara, you are the bigot and the white supremacist here. Saying there is no Palestine ignores hundreds of years of history. Moreover, Jews and Christians– and Muslims, lived in peace in Palestine prior top the establishment of the Jewish state of “Israel” in 1948. Honestly Mara– you are the hater here as nobody has mentioned Jews here except you.
UN appears inept, when it does not enforce its own resolutions.
Chapter 7 resolutions in the UNSC regard actions to enforce the UNSC resolutions, up to and including the use of force . Thus far, the USA has successfully shielded Israel from Ch. 7 resolutions.
Living the Jewish dream of Apartheid!
Lol! Aren’t you referring to the muslim apartheid of women that value them as that of half of a man & who can’t leave the house without their husband’s permission? ..or the muslim apartheid where you can’t enter Mecca if you’re an unbeliever? .. or the muslim apartheid & intolerance of other faiths, as demanded in the qur’an? http://www.thecommentator.com/article/4922/no_apartheid_in_israel_lots_of_it_in_the_arab_world
Sickening…
Impressive list, is there also one available for the other side? Guess Hamas and the Arab neighbours of Israel don’t have clean hands either. In war there are always two sides to the story, its important to tell that as well.
No, there is not a list of UNSC resolutions against Palestine, as Palestine until 2012 was not recognized as a state and to this day is not a member of the UN.
..
This topic and most of the comments made here could make me break out into hysterical laughter if it wasn’t such a deadly serious situation.You have nothing better to do with your time than to dig up stuff that is so biased and based on BS the UN Paper Tiger (Toilet Paper Tiger) puts out, just to justify their existence, that have to show they do SOMETHING? Here is a project for you: find how many palestinian mothers are training their children to strap on bombs to go and blow up other children. Or how about make a wonderful “compilation” of all the civilians that have been killed by these low-lives shooting rockets and missiles from schools, mosques and hospitals into Israeli neighborhoods killing mostly women and children? Then report how these incidents got handled by that precious UN and condemned, Seems most people commenting here are at best ill informed. Just try watching the news on other channels, the one you are watching now has an agenda, the consequences thereto would be to tragic to contemplate. Wake up and look on both sides of the fence for once!
I am an American. The US government does not support Palestinian crimes against Israelis. It does, however, support Israeli crimes against Palestinians, which occur on an incomparably greater scale. Perhaps you should take your own advice to “look on both sides of the fence”. It is a moral coward and a hypocrite who points only to the “other” side while excusing the actions of one’s own country.
Wonderful……………..But,Where is Resolution 194. 12/1948.?The right to Return…….
This list is only of Security Council resolutions. Resolution 194 is a General Assembly resolution.
Boring list is boring.
The UN is a useless bunch of useless morons making useless declarations.
Actually you just described yourself. About time you got something correct.
How is the UN not useless, assOle?
We could stipulate that the UN is “useless” and it wouldn’t change the fact that Israel perpetually violates international law.
How is international law not useless?
Israel is the victim here.
There you go again making a blanket statement and then asking for proof. Be specific. While not perfect the United Nations helps many people in world. And you often like to call people by vulgar names. Huh, there’s that pattern of you being childish again.
UN = useless bunch of parasites
Shut up, dickhead.
Awe

PSYCHOPATH Israel and the diaspora must be dealt with.

“The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was
“given” by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new
State. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people
were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers
have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this
spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees
have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the
denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No
people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from
their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to
accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent just
settlement of the refugees in their homelands is an essential ingredient
of any just settlement in the Middle East.”
― Bertrand Russell 1970―
the article forgot to mention that Israel is a FAILED WELFARE STATE! Since it’s inception, there hasn’t been one single day that Israel hasn’t survived on WELFARE from various other foreign countries, who forcibly tax their own citizens to keep the FAILED WELFARE STATE OF ISRAEL FROM COLLAPSING!
Were these states to withhold ISRAELS WELFARE, or IF Israel were to refuse their WELFARE.. Israel would become a defunct state within 30 days, perhaps longer with LYING ACCOUNTING but ultimately it would COLLAPSE!
Israel is a party to the UN Charter and is thus legally obligated to comply with Security Council resolutions. Israel also has an obligation not to violate customary international law, as well as the Geneva Conventions, to which it is also party.

but excellent assortment.
thank you
As an Israeli Jew, this list makes me proud, and I hope it will get even longer, doubled, tripled and quadrupled. Cheers, UN clowns
All of which has been done in the name of “the only democracy in the Middle East” my ass. Fuck Israel

Your featured comment does nothing but demonstrate your lack of acumen in Military History.
I would merely note how you failed to present an argument to support your assertion. I take the fact that you didn’t support it as indicative of the fact that you can’t.
Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinian people may be finally open for discussion by the Labour movement in the UK. Thanks for compiling and publishing this evidence lead discourse which is helpful. That said, the bile that infects some correspondents is as enlightening as the facts themselves.

Hey Jeremy, this article is from 2010, which is old. Can you please update it? Because now they reached 100 violated resolutions, all of which has been done in the name of “the only democracy in the Middle East” my ass. Fuck Israel & fuck all those dumb cunts who supports them.
Iraq violated only 2 UN resolutions and their country was invaded and turned into ruins. Israel violated 100 UN resolutions and nothing happens. And remember, the UN was established shortly after WWII to “prevent another such conflict”. lol.
For those who wants to count the list quickly, they’re 79

Hey Jeremy, this article is from 2010, which is old. Can you please update it? Because now they violated about over 100 UN resolutions, all of which has been done in the name of “the only democracy in the Middle East” my ass. Fuck Israel & fuck all those dumb cunts who supports them.
Have there been any since 2009?
Yes my friend, as you can see my comment below that this article is 6 years old and now they reached 100 UN resolutions violated (that was my old account BTW).
American support for Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinian natives repeats its crimes against its own native population
I have the utmost respect for the Jewish people and culture, but in all honesty, the Israelis should seek some form of compromise with the Palestinians.
They can’t do that. Israel wants it always THEIR WAY. No compromises from the apartheid state.
Well said!
The UN needs to be disbanded they don’t do anything anyway except sit idle and impose sanctions that no one follows anyway. When was the last time the UN did anything to prevent an attack against anyone? NEVER, that’s when. The United Nations is the biggest farce this world has ever seen. It’s just another excuse for worldwide political criminals to get free money from the rest of the world.
Great compilation! Sharing this with my friends at http://smbydesertdry.com/
Read in a bio of Netanyahu he wants the entire Middle East Jewish. This many resolutions one wonders.
Netanyahu at times has time terrible things to the Palestinians… They’ve suffered 60 or 70 years. That is an entire lifetime.
Enuf Mr. Netanyahu… I am NOT anti-Semitic… married to a wonderful Jew.
All these resolutions abrogate UN charter article 80. They are all null and void. Israel has nothing to apologise for. Israel is the most legitimate country in the history of the world! Supported by the Bible, Koran (5:20-21), international law and treaty. Can any other country say that?
Chapter 12 of the UN Charter established a Trusteeship system to replace the Mandatory system. Article 80 merely says that the Mandates continued unchanged if they are not replaced by a Trusteeship. Mandates that were coming to an end, because the Mandated state was ready for independence (e.g Iraq, Jordan), were not changed into Trusteeships. In the case of Palestine, a campaign of “wholesale terrorism” by Jewish militias forced Britain to abandon the Mandate, and pass the “Question of Palestine” to the UN. The General Assembly rejected Trusteeship and recommended instead the Plan of Partition with Economic Union. That could not be implemented because the British Government refused to co-operate with the Palestine Commission set up by the UN to implement the Plan. At the end of the Mandate the Zionist leaders declared the State of Israel in part of Palestine. There was no legal justification for such a declaration: not by the partition plan, in which the sovereign authority was the Economic Board, on which UN representatives had the casting vote, not the Jewish and Arab states (see the article “Understanding the Partition Plan” on Mondoweiss.net); nor by a Jewish right to self-determination, since the area of Palestine in which Israel was declared included almost equal numbers of Jews and non-Jews.
Although the creation of Israel was not legitimate for the reasons I described, that does not mean that the continued existence of Israel is illegal. States exist if they are recognized by other states. Israel was recognized by the USA on May 14, 1948, and subsequently by many other states. Israel exists as a sovereign state, and as such has a right to continue to exist. Indeed, in 1993 the PLO accepted that “The State of Israel has a right to exist in peace and security.”
The State of Palestine was created in 1988 by declaration and recognition, exactly the same process that created Israel. It is now recognized by a majority of the world’s states. It is has just as much right to continue to exist as does Israel.
If the State of Israel could bring itself to say that “The State of Palestine has a right to exist in peace and security” the conflict would be over.
Article 80:
Feel free to give your best effort trying to explain how the above listed resolutions violate anything here.
UN need to enforce all of its hundred of resolutions adopted against Israel, because zionist regime never has complied with any of these resolutions. If UN continuing refraining from any action that makes Israel accaountable for its long standing violations – israel- will continue adn increase its illegal settlement and its occupation of section of Jerusalem..
MY WIFE WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS IN 1948, THEY WHERE FORCED TO LEAVE JERUSALEM AND THERE HOME BY THE TERRORIST JEWS , I WAS SERVING IN THE US ARMY IN GERMANY,I MADE A TRIP TO PALESTINE TO VISIT AN UNCLE AND SEE WHERE I WAS BORN IN 1935,AND CAME TO OUR BELOVED AMERICA IN 1940, WHILE I WAS THERE MY UNCLE AN ATTORNEY HAD A COURT CASE IN JORDAN AND ASKED ME TO GO WITH HIM AND MY AUNT, AFTER HIS SHORT CASE WE HAD TIME TO KILL, HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD GO WITH HE AND MY AUNT TO VISIT AN OLD FRIEND FROM JERUSALEM,WHEN WE WALKED IN THERE HOME THERE WAS THE MOTHER AND A YOUNG LADY THERE, THE MOMENT I LAID EYES ON THIS GIRL I WAS IN LOVE,7 DAYS LATER WE WHERE MARRIED ,NOW ITS GOING ON 63 YEARS OF WEDDED BLISS,GOD IS GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amusing, as Israel was part and parcel of the San Remo Accords, the Treaty of Sevres and the Mandate for Palestine. The above list has been cherry picked, and dooes cites no real Historian, nor International Legal Scholar would think anything but ridiculous. And I would have to agree.
Israel was not a party to the San Remo Resolution, the Treaty of Sevres, or the Mandate for Palestine. When those documents were created, Israel did not yet exist.
Nor did any of those documents create Israel or confer any legal authority for the Zionists’ unilateral declaration of May 14, 1948.
Israel was established by ethnically cleansing most of the Arab population from their homes in Palestine.
