But... but... but the UN didn't decide anything, they didn't have any authority to decide not to pay the IOU, they were just the cashier that took the reciept and evicted the Palestinians from their lands. Also provable by the fact that without the declaration, the UN wouldn't have had the authority to grant them the land either.

I apologize either way I guess.

Well, she did make the declarative as much of a question as she could... so I thought she left some leeway in there for someone to sharpen the UN role and present some other facts

I understand why they were THE people responsible for it. But a 'bill' without enforcement is as good and non-existent.

hypothetically speaking yes, but they had to enforce the bill, they had no option. It was an IOU, not an IWDL(i will decide later).

remember this was not a bill, it was a declaration. It was a contract.

Yes... hence 'bill' :P

and not bill.....

SO YES the UN had something to do with the creation of Israel.
That is all I'm saying. They didn't instigate it, but they did orchestrate it.

Terry... you're tongue is so far in your cheek I thought you'd never had one there for a second.

Thanks for the vids.

and here is says that 82% of israeli arabs are happy with their current situations.

i know the arabs dont like to think about it this way, but their brethren under the "yoke" of israel actually have better rights than those granted to their fellow arabs in other countries....pretty amazing.
My comment about how Jews are treated in Iran was in response to you again trying to distort ahmadinajad's statement about the israeli regime. I was only comparing the treatment of Jews in Iran and Arabs in israel relative to the society they live in. I would expect a supposed democratic society to treat the overall population better than a theocratic shithole. But please don't tell me that Arabs have the same rights as Jews and are treated as complete equals. It's like your earlier dismay about the isralis not getting credit for not simply annihilating the Palistinians like we did the Indians.

On the flip side of the coin, as far as I'm aware the Jews who live in Palestine outside the state of Israel suffer the same privations as Palestinian Muslims, Christians and Druzes.

Thats heartbreaking, but they only show people who did good(I smell propaganda already), where are the ones who didn't? If its reality, show everything, not just the good ones. I'd like to see the reaction of the ones who sided with the seller.

Not saying this is bad, or bullshit, just saying, it ain't all of it, so its not actual reality shit, its partial reality shit.

Racism is much more insidious than how those vids make it seem. No one was accusing average Israelis of open prejudice, rather the government that practices racism and oppression on a geopolitical scale.
