The UN can pass resolutions, but it can neither change history nor alter reality - Jewish presence and land ownership goes back to the time of Abraham - YJ Draiman


The UN can pass resolutions, but it can neither change history nor alter reality.



Jewish presence and land ownership goes back to the time of Abraham who dug wells in the territory later called the Land of Israel (The City of Be’er Sheva in the Negev is named after one of Abraham’s wells. Abraham took his people and helped save the captured people in Shalem which is Jerusalem). Jewish sovereignty STARTED about 1250 B.C.E. in Jordan with defeat of Amorites under Moses' lead! The tribe of Reuven, Gad and half of Menasheh were the FIRST to have designated land! Only later, when Moses passed away did Joshua lead the rest of the Israelites into Canaan and conquered the area.
What we today call Jordan was ours, as a people, BEFORE what we today call Israel!
...
Even in the 2nd commonwealth The Jewish sovereign kingdom under the Hasmonaems included all the inhabitable area of today's "Jordan".
I beg to defer with those who claim that the east bank of the Jordan River which is now called Jordan was not Jewish land. Jordan is "Palestine" as much as Israel can be claimed to be; and because the British Mandate and the British Army were in control of Palestine aka The Land of Israel as trustee for the Jewish people to help the reconstituted The Jewish National Home and bring about Jewish control and sovereignty over Palestine aka The Land of Israel; but the British violated their duty and obligation and assigned over three quarters of Jewish allocated historical land to the new Arab State of Trans-Jordan. Moreover, the Jewish people in 1922 Palestine did not have their army to defend and protect them from international complicity in the theft of Jewish historical territory.
As for options, though none are necessarily easy, 50 yrs later, the  "outcome thesis" of preserving the "status quo" has been miserably shortsighted.
1) The world unjustified pressure for Israel to be 8-15 miles wide and accept the 1948 armistice line as a permanent border is increasing.
2) We all know what happens when Arabs "Palestinians" have Israel leave. Gaza. It becomes an Arab terrorist State that fires thousands of rockets at Israel’s civilian population centers.
Jordan IS Palestine. It is over 77% of the Palestine Mandate, which was allocated to the Jewish people after WWI, its population is 80% Arab-Palestinians, and its numerically insignificant royal family are British imports from another area entirely (modern day Saudi Arabia), circa 1920.
Israel can not be 8 miles wide. If Palestine/Jordan wants to be antagonistic they will reap what they sow. Moreover, it is about time for the weakness of 20 centuries of ghetto living, to come out of the Jew Daniel. When this is done we will be alright, b'ezrat Hashem (with the Almighty’s help).

    The U.S. Congress in 1922
    On June 30, 1922, a joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of the United States unanimously endorsed the “Mandate for Palestine,” confirming the irrevocable right of Jews to settle in the area of Palestine—anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea:
    “Favoring the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.
    “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the United States of America favors the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which should prejudice the civil and religious rights of Christian and all other non-Jewish communities in Palestine, and that the holy places and religious buildings and sites in Palestine shall be adequately protected.” [italics in the original]
    On September 21, 1922, the then President Warren G. Harding signed the joint resolution of approval to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine.
    Here is how members of congress expressed their support for the creation of a National Home for the Jewish people in Palestine – Eretz-Israel (Selective text read from the floor of the U.S. Congress by the Congressman from New York on June 30, 1922). All quotes included in this document are taken verbatim from the given source.
    CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
    1922 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
    NATIONAL HOME FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
    JUNE 30, 1922
    HOUSE RESOLUTION 360
    (Rept. NO. 1172)

    Representative Walter M. Chandler from New York – I want to make at this time, Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the House, my attitude and views upon the Arab question in Palestine very clear and emphatic. I am in favor of carrying out one of the three following policies, to be preferred in the order in which they are named:
    (1) That the Arabs shall be permitted to remain in Palestine under Jewish government and domination, and with their civil and religious rights guaranteed to them through the British mandate and under terms of the Balfour declaration.
    (2) That if they will not consent to Jewish government and domination, they shall be required to sell their lands at a just valuation and retire into the Arab territory which has been assigned to them by the League of Nations in the general reconstruction of the countries of the east.
    (3) That if they will not consent to Jewish government and domination, under conditions of right and justice, or to sell their lands at a just valuation and to retire into their own countries, they shall be driven from Palestine by force.

  2. The U.N. did not create Israel – it can only recommend - it only partially help to implement international law & treaty as proscribed by the Supreme Allied Powers in post WWI International Agreements
    In sum, modern Israel may credit its legal recreation to the Supreme
    Allied Powers and its 1920 San Remo conference which incorporated the 1917
    Balfour Declaration as international law; thereby reconstituting the Jewish
    National Home in Palestine in 1920 with the British as trustee and its
    implementation by The League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, and its de
    facto existence to the impatient belligerence of its enemies and the
    consequent resolve of the Jewish people to survive. There was also the 1919 Faisal Weizmann Agreement which stated that all of Palestine is for the Jewish National Home while the Arabs received over 12 million sq. km. of territory with a wealth of oil reserves.
    In 1948, after the British abandoned its duty and obligation to implement the terms of the Mandate for Palestine aka The Land of Israel. The U.N. recognized that the Jews in Palestine-Israel have become a majority; as stated in the terms of international treaty and therefore the Jewish people can assume control of its own sovereignty. That took place on May 15, 1948. The Arab countries mobilized 6 armies to attack the recreated Jewish State and asked the local Arab population to leave their homes. The newly recreated Jewish State was able to defend itself and retained some of its allocated historical territory, which in 1967 defensive war, Israel was able to liberate the balance of its allocated territory under international agreements.
    The Arab countries terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families and confiscated all of their assets, personal goods, businesses, homes and over 120,000 sq. km. of Jewish owned Real Estate for over 2,400 years, which is valued in the trillions of dollars. (They also expelled the Jews from Jordan and confiscated all their assets and prohibited Jews from residing or owning property in Jordan). Most of the million expelled Jewish families and their children now reside in Israel and comprise over half the population. Now the Arabs want to throw them out again from their own country,

  3. All Israeli politicians and leaders must understand, any and all internal conflict which leads to divisiveness weakens Israel. If they really care about Israel as well as its people and want Israel to survive in these difficult times, they must unify in a common cause and work together to enhance Israel's safety and security. They must learn how to overcome their differences, for the sake of Israel and its people. Any elected or appointed leader, politician or official that pursues divisiveness and continues to incite conflict does not belong in a position to govern or represent Israel and its people. The self-serving agendas of the individual or party, which does not promote unity, must stop immediately. The future of Israel depends on it. Israel’s enemies and detractors glee with satisfaction, when they see the Jews fighting within and among themselves, and they take full advantage of it. Is that what we want?
    "Israel - United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions that have got to destroy that unification upon which our existence hangs".
    Without total unity of all Israelis, Israel will be subjected to follow the historical path of many nations which existed before, and now, no longer exist.

  4. The U.N. a useless organization
    In a Democratic legal system if you have decision that you think is erroneous or unjust you can appeal that decision and many times it is reversed.
    U.N. opinions and or resolutions are biased, unjust, arbitrary and capricious (the same apply to the ICJ – International Court of Justice).
    The U.N. has issued numerous opinions and resolutions that are biased, unsubstantiated and contrary to historical and factual evidence. This U.N. collusion with corrupt and biased countries and the issuance of egregious opinions and resolution has eroded the credibility of the U.N. beyond repair.
    This has raised the ire and an outcry by many nations, politicians and institutions to de-fund the U.N. and dismantle it.
    It is well known that the U.N. and the ICJ can only offer and issue a non-binding advisory recommended opinions and resolutions which carry no legal affect. They can only issue a non-binding recommendation and resolution and if it is accepted by all parties, then their recommended opinion and resolution is applicable. Otherwise it has no meaning, validity, and no legal standing.
    Therefore, my suggestion is stop panicking and aggrandizing these biased criminal organizations. Their recommended opinion has no meaningful value.
    By reacting to and citing the recommendations of this criminal organization as having any validity, you are misleading the public that the recommended opinions by these criminal organizations might have some validity.
    It is time to expose the fraud and deception by these unethical, corrupt and unjust organizations and dismantle them completely.
    It will also save a substantial amount of money and resources that could be put to a better use.

    P.S. The League of Nations was replaced by the United Nations, since the league did not accomplish its purpose. The U.N. has not accomplished its purpose for what it was created to perform ethically and honestly.
    In today's society the Nations of the world can function without an organization such as the U.N.
    If the Nations of the world desire to establish a new International Peace organization, it must put some very specific Charter, with a caveat, that if it is not performing ethically, honestly and justly, with respect to each member country, it will be dismantled.
    A citizens committee might be set to monitor its functions to perform ethically, justly and unbiased, un-falsified, verified and substantiated factual opinions.
