The one that included the USSR from day one, who was the initial force opposing Israel in that body?

The vote was 33 to 13 in favor. Btw, the Soviet Union at the time voted in favor. I do agree that latter they turned and opposed Israel.

I don’t know if you know what board you are on, but nobody here regards the UN as legitimate, never mind honest.

Neither do I. That does not take away the fact that the UNSCOP report is the most reliable one we have on the population in Palestine in 1948. Nor is it honest to project the latter anti-Israel bias to the time of the UNSCOP. It is illogical to claim that the very body that recommended the partition of Palestine and the formation of a Jewish state was at the time biased against it.

The UNSCOP plan was rejected by the Arabs. I think I already mentioned that.
