3. Arab taqiyyacrats looove to rewrite history.
"Mansour said the legal right for Palestine to be a full member of the United Nations was formalized in the 1947 General Assembly resolution that partitioned British-ruled Palestine into "independent Arab and Jewish states.""
Oh really? I've read that Partition Plan resolution (UNGA Res. 181) countless times, and the text is pretty damn clear that it's only a recommendation. The Arabs refused that recommendation, so it died on the vine.
I've also read the UN Charter plenty of times, and it's pretty clear that UN General Assembly resolutions are only recommendations and have no binding force.
That is why, when the Arabs refused to accept Partition, and went to war to prevent it, the UN Security Council simply refused to implement it and sent the matter back to the UNGA, which shelved the Partition Plan and sent an Envoy with fresh new proposals, much more generous to the Arab side. When those proved unacceptable to both sides, the UN simply adopted a position of total neutrality on the matter, "without prejudice to the rights, claims, and positions of either party", as expressed in several Security Council resolutions at the time.
It was Arab refusal and decision to thwart partition by war that spelled the death of the Partition Plan. Now this joker wants to rewrite history, squeeze the toothpaste back into the tube, and catch a ship that sailed and sank 71 years ago.
