| …So there they were on 22 November, 1974 in the General Assembly, the seventh anniversary of Security Council Resolution 242 in 1967, and what the text of UNGA Res. 3236 did was to trash Res. 242, like Obama, basically pay it no mind. That resolution was written in the wake of those magical six days when Israel crippled the military forces in four Arab states. That resolution dealt with the war between Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq with nary a word about any “Balestinians” let alone their need for a state. It was in this period ‘67-‘74, that the Ancient Palestinian people entered history, following the 1959 decision by Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt to create such a nationality out of what the world had called, everyone had called, the Arabs refugees of 1948-49. In historical fact they were hardly a unitary nation; they were a mixed bag of Arabs from all over the Arab countries, migrant workers in Palestine when the war broke out who fled the fighting.
In 1967, the regular Arab armies not only lost again to Israel, they were humiliated far more than in ‘48-‘49. And given the temper of the times world-wide, the lunatic 1960s, the influence of the crazy left, terrorists became heroes. This was the period with jerks like the Baader-Meinhof people in Germany and Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn in the US, terrorists. In this period the “Palestinians” were simply invented as a way of shielding the Arab states from the intent of Res. 242 which was to get the combatant states to make peace. What inventing the “Palestinians” did was create if not a straw man then an insurmountable obstacle placed between Israel and the Arab states. The “Palestinians” were invented with the claim that all of Palestine and they had to be satisfied, the Arab states said, before they would make peace. They were the principle victims of Zionism. The Arab aggressor states could then sit back and claim that they would enter into peace talks with Israel only after the Ancient Ones had received satisfaction. UNGA Res. 3236 “recognized the right of Palestinians to self-determination, independence and sovereignty”; this nation completely absent from Res. 242.
What they did was cite the Charter’s language regarding the rights of nations to all kinds of goodies like peace and tranquility and freedom and prosperity, etc.; and they invent a nation called “Palestinians” that the Charter gives rights to because it is a nation; rights to “self-determination, independence and sovereignty.” In other words, in this UN General Assembly resolution of 1974, the Assembly resolved on ownership and independence for Palestinians. That was a long time ago. Nothing has ever happened in this regard. The resolution went on to
I.e. anything goes. Terrorism is kosher. This resolution was then followed by as second, by UNGA Res. 3237 which
The PLO was now to become an official participant (if not yet voting) in the United Nations Organization. A year later in the annual jamboree of chatter and cocktail parties, in 1975, the Assembly passed the infamous “Zionism is racism” resolution. But for my money, it was the 1974 appearance of Arafat who delivered this Hitlerian rant and the inviting of his murder cult into the UN; that was the year the originally idealistic United Nations Organization died… |
