UN anti-Jewish bias hinders end to Arab-Jewish conflict

By David Singer - posted Monday, 29 November 2021


Article 80 was adopted for this very special reason of Palestine... This is the special Article of the Charter which applies to Palestine. It was introduced only because of Palestine.

Article 80 prevents any argument being made that the rights granted to the Jewish People under the Mandate for Palestine died with the demise of the League of Nations on 19 April 1946. Those rights remain as alive and exercisable today as they were when unanimously adopted by all 51 Member States of the League of Nations on 24 July 1922.

The UN's continuing failure to recognise the Jewish People's legal entitlement to settle in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) disqualifies the UN and its agencies from having any role in ending the Arab-Jewish conflict.

Acting in violation of article 80 of its own Charter ensures the UN has lost any hope of adopting a balanced and principled position to resolve a conflict which has lasted for 100 years and shows no signs of ending.

Continuing to hold this annual day of solidarity is a charade, a farce and engenders hatred of the Jewish People.
