"UNGAR 181 was not actually rejected; the Arab states rightfully claimed that the General Assembly did not have the legal right to partition Palestine"
In, other words, the Arabs rejected Res 181. It is important to note that Bethlehem was also to be internationalized, something that likewise is off the table.
The UN was granted the right to partion Palestine by its rulers, the UK.
"if you want to argue UN General Assembly Resolutions are binding"
I do not.
Security Council resolutions are binding, such as 242 (land for peace) rejeced by Arabs with the three nos of Khartoum and 1701 and 1559 concerning Lebanon and the resolutions concerning Iranian Uranium enrichment.
While those that reject the existence of Israel in any form still try to cling to the borders of 181 or reject it outright, most of the world has come to accept Israel within the Green Line, and guess what? Jerusale |
