In reply to the discussion: UNESCO Adopts Controversial Jerusalem Resolution [View all]Little Tich
(6,171 posts)18. If Israel stopped behaving like a hostile occupier in East Jerusalem,
there would be no need for passing these resolutions. But as long as Israel keeps acting badly, the resolutions will keep piling up. You seem to think that the resolutions are the problem, not Israel's behavior in East Jerusalem. I think Israel should award the Palestinians equal civil and religious rights, which would solve the problem, both with the cause (Discrimination against Palestinians in East Jerusalem) and the effect (UNESCO resolutions).
And I don't think the resolution is caused by anti-Semitism - any occupying state behaving like Israel needs to be condemned. An occupying state must not change things on the ground. But I suppose you don't even think that Israel is an occupier nor that East Jerusalem isn't in Israel.

I'm not sure a 2-state proposal exists that puts the wall in a future Palestinian state.

Aha - so that's why I didn't find any anti-Semitism in the resolution itself...
