    Your regurgitations of nothing that I have disagreed with appear as the actions of a dunce disappearing into the fog on a unicycle.

    They should not deny defeat whose balls are atop the enemy's pikestaff.

    Hey, look - it's Yasser Arafat!

    Did they find a suitcase full of cash buried down there, too? :)

    silly, but the fact is UNGA 181 is not legally binding as only UNSC resolutions are legally binding upon UN members

    Not even an admirable rear-guard action. Who has said that advisory opinions are binding ? Nobody. What you've been told is that the UN Charter is binding upon its members and that Resolution 181 has the legal weight of an opinion by the International Courts of Justice- in that the Palestinians have the inalienable right of self-determination and a state of their own. That legal authority carries over to the content of Resolution 181 - and that is the fact under law.
    Certainly, only a Chapter 7 SC Resolution could cause the world's armies to throw the neoZionists back behind their United Nations -approved borders - because Chapter 7 Resolutions enable military enforcement. But the FACT is that prevention of Palestinian self-determination and statehood conflicts with the ruling by the ICJ- and thus the occupation is illegal- a fact that you shamefully denied earlier on.
    It doesn't matter one monkey's toss that that illegality cannot be addressed militarily- it's still a breech of international law.

    You won't comprehend that- and I don't encourage trolling- so that's the end of the lesson.

    Im very sorry but the UN Charter is clear as is the ICJ. Only UNSC resolutions have the force of law and are legally binding upon all UN members.

    the USA is a member of the UN, and UNSC resolutions are binding upon the USA

    Incorrect- even at this stage of your education. Only Chapter 7 Resolutions can be enforced.
    Give it up. <Mod edit-rule2>


    This is likely to get under the skin of any similar dogmatic intruders into the realm of one-trick legalities--
    The General Assembly can veto Security Council Resolutions under circumstances which warrant such action.

    Ta ta.

    Only when we choose to follow them. Just like treaties. They are made to be broken when no longer to the advantage of the strong. We are free to back out of any treaty we so choose. Only Israel ignores their resolutions more than the US does

    Article VI includes treaties as the supreme law of the land.

    How many treaties have we broken ? Again did you miss the part where I stated we can withdraw from a treaty any time we choose to do so ?

    Thread Closure- Rule 11

    11. THREAD CREATION

    The opening post of a thread sets the topic and the tone of the discussion. It should contain a member's opinions or questions with sufficient elaboration to establish a foundation for respectful discussion and debate. Threads should not be posted in the wrong forum, or be duplicates of other threads and/or topics (creating multiple threads with fundamentally the same topic is not allowed). Images, links, quotations, etc., should be used to support a member's opinion, not to replace it. Quoting from an article is optional. If a quote is added, it must be clearly distinguishable from the personal commentary. Quotes may only contain a small portion of the article. We do not allow the entire article to be posted. Personal commentary must be a paragraph with at least 3 sentences of respectful elaboration. Thread titles should be a description of the thread topic (and if not they may be altered by the moderators). Whether a thread has sufficiently set a basis for respectful debate on the thread topic will be at the discretion of the moderators. All other board rules apply to thread titles and creation. Threads may be deleted, merged or closed for not meeting any of the requirements listed.

    There are additional rules for "Latest U.S and World News" and "Current Events": All thread titles must be copy/pasted from source article titles. Article titles that are too long to fit, should be abbreviated, keeping as close to the original title as possible. No personal opinions are allowed within thread titles. Threads must have a sourced article or news video, and the full article/video must be accessible upon clicking. (Content behind a paywall does not qualify as a source.)
