not really ashley. it is an interpretation only. which is permitted. but to get to the real meaning one needs to consult the authors.
The pre-amble for 242 says it all really. All or the is irrelevant.

Quote:
The Security Council,
Expressing its continuing concern with the grave situation in the Middle East.
Emphasising the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and the need to work for a just and lasting peace in which every state in the area can live in security,

you have an argument here ashley but to acquire territory by war required one to have initiated the war. israel didn't initiate the war it was the arabs that initiated the war to indeed make a land grab of israel. when israel successfully won the defensive war she was left with land that was part of the palestinian mandate to be negotiated between the concerned parties. the arabs, including the yet to be named palestinian arabs had fled the field. to this day israel wants to negotiate final boundaries with the arabs. but alas they still hold out for all of the palestine mandate. i refer you to the yet to be amended palestinian charter (covanent)
Quote:
Article 1:
Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people; it is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, and the Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.
Article 2:
Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.

so israel and the arabs have a long way to go.
