Who is the real winner in the passing of U.N. Resolution 2334 condemning Israeli “settlements” in so-called Palestinian land? It is not the Arabs who live in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, nor the leftist BDS movement, nor the world community which acted in usual blind lock-step in condemning Israel, or even the Obama administration which sacrificed American stature and credibility to express personal pique, though all appear to be gleefully rubbing grubby hands. The real winner is radical Islam, which the aforementioned parties claim to oppose.

For all the talk of preserving a “two-state” solution between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, and its attendant equivocating between Arab violence and incitement and the peaceful building of Jewish homes, the real heart 2334 is the first paragraph, which states that the Resolution

Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law…

That “international law” is the creation of U.N. Security Council, which invents such law with the passage of resolutions, regardless of whether standard principles of law-making, such as precedent, judicial or statutory authority are present. If the U.N.S.C. passed a resolution declaring Mars and its “inhabitants” a country, that would be international law. Its resolutions on Israel are almost pure exercises in self-referential circular reasoning. But that does not mean that they are without legal or practical impact, especially when endorsed by the United States, still -- if barely -- the world’s preeminent power.

A large % of democrats, including some Jews are down with this.

Excellent debate in book form, THE U.N.: IN OR OUT? (A DEBATE) by Ernest Van den Haag (out!) and John P. Conrad (in!). 1987

Van den Haag rejects the idea of “international law” as a pure fiction and bbq’s all the U.N. sacred cows. Still fresh reading—assuming you enjoy political science, lol—because the folly that made the U.N. absurd then is present now, UNCHANGED!

Israel is still the object of negative “resolutions”. Worthless rulers still sit on Human Rights councils. The idiotic Law of the Sea Treaty STILL breathes...thanks to GW Bush, of all people (Reagan said No!). Etc.

You forgot to include slavery.

[[has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law…]]

But Palestinians launching rockets into Israel and suicide bombers into Israel isn’t a ‘ flagrant violation under international law…”?

Pssst- Israel owned that land for centuries- go pound sand-

Israel owned the land- palestine fought them and got the land for 14 years- Israel fought them back and regained their ancestral lands once again, and now the palestinians run crying to the UN to get the land back for them because they can’t defeat Israel militarily?
