Reply #159: The difference WRT this resolution is that some of the land really is in dispute

[shira]

Egypt and Syria had legitimate sovereignty over the Sinai and Golan before they lost it to Israel, but Egypt and Jordan illegally occupied Gaza and the W.Bank as a result of the 1948 war in which they, as well as Israel, cannot claim territory as a result of war. Gaza and the W.Bank haven't been under the legitimate sovereignty of any nation.

Do you understand the difference?

If Gaza and the W.Bank were under Palestinian sovereignty before the 1967 war, then the principals of war would apply better to the situation.

In addition, the 3 key drafters put UNSCR 242 together and that resolution is entirely based on their opinions. You can't reverse it and say they adopted opinions after the fact and those opinions are no better than your own. As you would have it, you believe you know better than THEY when they put UNSCR 242 together.

I'm certain you really don't see how absurd and ridiculous your POV is on this.

Lastly, why did you reject the opinions of Goldberg and Rostow? Did you have any reason other than that they were Jewish?
