So tell me - is there agreement by the democratic forces on this forum as to what is more important?:

1) Is it what the non-voting authors on UNSC 242 said they meant when they drafted the resolutions? ...

.... or ....

2) Is it what the majority of voting members said they understood from the documented text when they actually voted on the resolution?

Because if there isn't, then the planet has spent a monstrous amount of nervous energy, taxpayer's money, Middle East blood (Jews and Palestinians), and jeopardy of world peace to find out that the supposedly clear principle of voting, a critical underpinning of the democratic process, is in fact totally irrelevant.

If this is so, can I request a time-out so that I may say a last-ditch prayer for our planet.
