Fine, but someone has got to be the designated armor bearer for Palestine....
How many of the actual wars did the Palestinian People actually fight in (being a instigating rock thrower doesn't count)? "0". Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq have been the "designated armor" in the past, who shed their own blood, that actually did the fighting while the Palestinian People sat back and watched.
I read somewhere that one of the Hamas rockets hit a power line not only cutting off electricity to an Israeli village but also to many customers in Gaza.
Israel Electric Corp. workers brave rockets, restore power to Gaza
It was never null and void as it was implemented. Both the USA and the former USSR voted in favor the partition plan and at that time the US Government was not in the clutches of the Israeli defense lobby (which didn't exist then!).
When was it approved by the Security Council, chava? Date, please.
Of course the Israeli defense lobby didn't exist in 1947. The Zionist lobby certainly did, and met with President Truman several times.
Quote:
The facts were that not only were there pressure movements around the United Nations unlike anything that had been seen there before, but that the White House, too, was subjected to a constant barrage. I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. The persistence of a few of the extreme Zionist leaders—actuated by political motives and engaging in political threats—disturbed and annoyed me.
