181
181
The Resolution of the non-concerned
The Resolution
of the non-rightful
The Resolution of the non-affected
in the year 1947......when the UN-resolution nr.181 coming from the UN General Assembly allowed the establishment of a State of Israel alongside with the State of Palestine.
It is worthwhile mentioning that such a Resolution by the General Assembly of the UN is not binding, never was .........and still is not.
It is practically only a matter of an "opinion" (a referendum).
Only the UN Security Council Resolutions are binding and legal.........(when and if ever they are implemented)
What do we learn from this:
1- the permission to establish the state of Israel was not biding.........therefore not legal.
2- No Arab State accepted it. Palestinians were not asked.
3- No direct nor indirect geographical-Neighbour accepted it.
4- the Colonial Powers and the Stalinist-Russia were in favour plus some remote Banana-republics not to forget Iceland which until today 2006 is a remote and hardly inhabited North-Pole-island, with all due respect.
5- Lebanon counted for one vote against and Iceland, also one vote, but in favour. Even the Kingdom of Jordan did not exist (on paper yet) so it could not vote.
6. Remarkably and symbolically we see the colonial-South Africa voting in favour for its "twin-sister" Israel.
7. some 10 Arab-states who ,today, do exist were not allowed to vote...plus around 35 third-world-states who were also colonised therefore "silenced", exactly like those 10 Arab-states.
Conclusion :
To pretend that Israel were to be legally established by the United Nations is a misinterpretation of facts. and to pretend that the people concerned have had a Veto-right or at least a preferential-status...is also wrong.
Israel became later a member of the UN....
but that is something else.
