How does this makes settlements in Jerusalem illegal? Who owns Jerusalem?
We have been talking a lot in the moderator forum about the purpose that people have in starting threads. Some people clearly only want to start flame wars with other members of opposite opinions.
my purpose?What is your purpose in starting this thread?
i only post bits, so as not to put the 'amount of data' on the board, (an old warning by you) such as posting the actual pubs by the scientists often shares that what people have accepted is completely divergent from the realityAnd you didn't post Resolution 478, you only posted an interpretation of it---surely, a truth seeker such as yourself has read the text of Resolution 478, and you know where to find it, so that you can post it for everyone else to read?
Ben..... you have no right to insult me!Or did you miss the discussion of primary sources and secondary sources in high school?

because it is a disputed land that was already entered into the UN (global body of countries) that israel does not own jeruselem or have that 'right'
no one OWNS jeruselem, them are people, human beings from a diverse range of people and beliefs from all over the world
and the global community has already addressed the land as not being OWNED by israel
nothing political about it; the globe has already combined to address the issue
at this point it is just a matter of educating the populations, to understand
simply put, to avoid the conflict only takes compassion and integrity
UN Resolution 476 said:5. Urgently calls on Israel, the occupying Power, to abide by this and previous Security Council resolutions and to desist forthwith from persisting in the policy and measures affecting the character and status of the Holy city of Jerusalem
So, can Palestinians build homes there?
Ahh I see. The point is this, which is actually in UN Resolution 476, NOT resolution 478:
Here, ``character'' should be read (in the context of the document, I think) as cultural makeup.
So, ok---the UNSC has passed resolutions against Israeli settlements.
that's off topicThey've also passed resolutions against terrorism.
Is this your only point?
i was just wondering why a person who is the prime minister of a country, a globally recognized entity, was so ignorant to suggest jeruselem was the capital of israel (the very country he is PMing)
He's not wrong, it's just that the UN objects to it.israels PM is wrong to claim jeruselem as being the capital of israel
Hmmm.
Government requires the consent of the governed.
Do you agree?
Israel doesn't recognize the legitimacy of that resolution, so it is not precisely correct to say that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel.
He's not wrong, it's just that the UN objects to it.
sure it is
Israel is not the capital.
i just said it and have more foundation for that truth, than you could even comprehend; reality!
Israel's plan to build 1,600 new homes for Jews in East Jerusalem, which Israel captured in a 1967 war and later annexed, have dismayed the Palestinian leadership and strained ties with its main backer the United States.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected any curbs on Jewish settlement in and around Jerusalem.
"The EU position on settlements is clear. Settlements are illegal," Ashton said in her speech. "Recent Israeli decisions to build new housing units in East Jerusalem have endangered and undermined the tentative agreement to begin proximity talks."
Sure and Israel is a member of the UN, plain and simple.
If there ever a time you dont have to pay taxes because you dont believe? (Government requires the consent of the governed.)
whereas, being a citizen, you will fall into place or be put into jail.
You are correct, Israel is not the capital of Israel, Jerusalem is. You may not like it, but it is the truth.
