Satire for Sanity
' Positions ' make good padding for internet forums- but the plain, cold, hard truth of the matter is that 242 is very short and very clear.
1)The occupation is illegal. Irrefutable.
2)The Jews must withdraw from occupied Palestine. Irrefutable.
Now, you can continue to say ' Nah, nah- nah, nah, nah- international law sux ' , that's your ' right ' - but you are pushing ripe horseshit uphill on a hot day.
Your regurgitation of the crusty ' definite article ' canard is beneath contempt.
As the refutation of the Zionists' wriggling in 1967 went- ' Dogs are not allowed in ponds in the park ' has only one meaning. ' Jews must withdraw from occupied Palestine ' has only one meaning. No definite article is necessary- and besides the semantic connotations of its absence in English are laughable, so laughable that the 'argument ' was dubbed ' antisemantic ' in 1967.
Besides, the attempt at argument is moot. 242 states from the outset that it is based upon the - irrefutable - law that occupation is illegal. Of COURSE the Jews were obliged to withdraw. It's against the law. It still is today. Your only hope is to try to get rid of the UN- but there aren't enough Trumps to even make a start- and the one that tried looks like he's headed for the joint.
