Hundreds of rabbis accuse Mamdani of fueling antisemitism over 'monsters' comment

243. Why do you keep insisisting that the "Jewish people" created the state of Israel

as if the UN General Assembly didn't vote on the issue and adopt the partition plan by a greater than two thirds majority?

--------------------------------------

Thank you for the concession that there was no requirement for the either the Committee or the referring party (Great Britain) to bring the matter to "said Security Council" rather than to the full Assembly. Underlining the word "may" at every opportunity certainly obviates any insistence that requirements were involved.

It was Great Britain that bypassed the Security Council (as was their right) and referred the question regarding the future of the British Mandate for consideration by the entire Assembly. One of the reasons for doing so was because there was no "active threat to or breach of international peace" in the region at the time

Under the [UN Charter], the Security Council's primary mandate is to address active breaches of international peace, acts of aggression, or immediate threats to security. At the moment Britain requested a UN intervention, it was seeking political and administrative advice on how to terminate its League of Nations Mandate, rather than asking the UN to militarily intervene in an ongoing interstate war

Subsequent to Great Britain putting the issue of the dissolution of the British Mandate before the entire body of the UN, a UN committee was formed to examine the question and make recommendations. The Committee notably rejected the recommendation put forth by Subcommittee 2 (a unitary country administered solely by Arabs) and adopted the plan recommended by Subcommittee 1, the partition plan that became Resolution 181.

The UN General Assembly voted on the recommendation, and while multiple "people" (did you mean countries and/or kingdoms?) voted against Resolution 181, Resolution 181 passed by a greater than two-thirds majority of the voting parties of the General Assembly and was adopted.

-----------------------------------------

Did you neglect to include Article 12 in your snippet because it outlines the role and functions of "said Security Council" which pretty much disproves the argument that there was any requirement to consult "said Security Council" before referring the question to the full Assembly? Articles 10, 11, ... 13, 14 of the UN Charter certainly is an odd sequence with that noticeable gap.
