No mere rant. Your post is descriptively accurate in every detail mentioned and alluded to. This U.N., General Assembly vote along with the gutless, short-sighted and poorly founded ICJ advisory opinion it’s based upon is perhaps nothing more than additional evidence of the ancien regime, status quo, backward looking machinery of the UN that far too often supports, both actively and passively, regressive and even fascistic states. Arafatistan is a primary example thereof.

If things are going to change, their current condition has to be recognized for what it is, and then accurately and responsibly described as such. Trite but true.
