Actually if you were following what I was talking about you would know that I was refering to Israel violating proposition 242. So you did not know what I was referring to and talked about something that wasn't discussed. So what were you arguing about? You just wanted to argue and brag about what you knew.
Once again Palestine never existed. You didn't respond to a single thing I said but just threw a link out there. Arab countries took over the land, Israel took over some of the land, proposition 242 said to negotiate the return of the land including the borders and left out a definite clause in the statement, negotiations were made with arab countries and land like the sinai was returned. Never in that time did Palestine exist. You can't argue with that so you just post links. 242 never condemned Israel since that was an act of self-defense, did not request Israel withdraw unilaterally, and called for a negotiated settlement.
There are two motions but I guess you like to be embarassed. There are chapter 6 and chapter 7 resolutions and resolutions against Israel fall under chapter 6 which the US vetoes but regardless chapter 6 motions are non-binding. Again what are you arguing with?
You just need to show off how smart you are but everyone reads what you write and just laugh. You even comment in threads about the American presidential race. Always commenting, never knowing.

Alright, I tried to remained civil and I tried to stick to the issues without resorting to insults or trying to take cheap shots, unfortunately you could not restrain yourself to the bounds of debate.
You asked:
"If you have something to say as to why Israel is violating international law please let me know. "
I responded with two examples, and two from "Palestine". As for the UN, the US has veto power over security resolutions for any action (hence the security council). If for example a motion was presented to the UN calling for the deployment of peacekeepers anywhere, that is a security issue and the US can veto it. If a motion calls for a embargo against a nation, the US can veto it. If a motion calls for the withdrawal troops or the demilitarization of a region that is a security issue and once again the US can veto it.
Apparently you do not understand the workings of the security council and the concept of veto power.... if one of the five permanent members veto a motion then it is defeated..... and the US is a permanent member of the security council. Also for your hopeful education here is a link to a list of all the vetos that the US has used regarding Israel:

Now as for debate that has been going on in this thread, I found two links that may be of interest to the parties involved in the debate.
Here is a link to the UN proposed partitioning of Palestine in 1947:

And for furthering the debate here is a link to the text of Resolution 181:

Rudey please note that I took these from the Jewish Virtual Library, so you cannot question the source (I hope). These are also links that I could see no discernable bias in the actual document… now I know there are other documents on the site, but I wanted to present these because they deal with some of the arguements that have been presented.
If further debate of this issue is needed, why not make a separate thread to specifically deal with it.
PS> Rudey, you're asinine and juvenile attacks are not only uncalled for but a little sad. I've never attacked your service to your country (or lack there of), nor have I taken shots at your GLO membership or pride (whatever GLO that happens to be).
