The Palestine Mandate is not "binding." In fact, it's obsolete. It pertain to British rule, not Jewish nor Arab rule over the Levant.
UN Resolution 181, though not binding, is the impetus for the creation of the state of Israel, you nudnik. For all your bluster about the validity of Israel and then claim that UN Resolution 181 is "non-binding" is hilarious. Also, UN Resolution 242, while not an article VII resolution, is the basis for the two-state solution, Oslo, Roadmap, Taba, and other relevant frameworks to which both parties agreed to, so, it's quite schizophrenic of you to, on the one hand, cite an old colonial mandate as "international law" (which is not binding) and dismiss other resolutions that are based on international law, and to some extent the UN's charter (a case can be made that UNR 181 violated that charter by not taking into account the Palestinian Arab majority rights concerning partition, but that's another debate).

I'm waiting for Schnees to back up any of the claims he has made in the past couple of pages.



The Palestine Mandate is binding, representing an international treaty among the members of the League of Nations, by unanimous ratification and a treaty with Great Britain as trustee.
UN Res. 181 is non-binding, so, have a good laugh at the facts.
You meant to say UN Res. 242 is not a Chapter 7 resolution, not an "Article" 7 resolution.
Furthermore, the San Remo Resolution transferring sovereignty over Palestine from the Ottoman Turks to the Jews constitutes international law, as a treaty among WW I Allies Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan.
Pallies have no rights as tenant farmers with no legal title to property.
Now, even YOU know.



San Remo Resolution:
Translation:(c) Les mandataires choisis par les principales Puissances allies sont: la France pour la Syrie, et la Grand Bretagne pour la Mesopotamie, et la Palestine.
The chosen mandate powers are:
France for Syria,
Great Britain for Mesopotamia and Palestine.
It pays sometimes to speak foreign languages.
San Remo Resolution - Council on Foreign Relations
btw this dates to April 25th 1920. And is no longer valid.
It also contains the conditions of the Balfour Declaration:
, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
There is no mention whatever of the founding of an israeli state, no rights of Government given but the rights of the original Population (Semites btw, as all Arabs are) were explicitely upheld.
Now if you still don´t understand I´m afraid you´ll have to go back to primary.
"There is no means of avoiding the final collapse
of a boom brought about by credit (debt) expansion.
The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner
as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit (debt) expansion,
or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved." - Ludwig von Mises
I think, we should end the fruitless discussion here and leave the kid to play alone in the sandbox.
