17. If you could perhaps take a look at S/RES/1483 (2003) that I linked to in post #2?

UNSC Resolution 1483 (2003)
(snip)

Noting the letter of 8 May 2003 from the Permanent Representatives of the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the President of the Security Council (S/2003/538) and recognizing the specific authorities, responsibilities, and obligations under applicable international law of these states as occupying powers under unified command (the “Authority”),

I'l be honest with you - I think the OP is total BS. If there are any claims you want to pursue about UN resolutions concerning Israel, please provide some evidence based on those resolutions and not the claims of the OP. I have no intention of poring over more UN resolutions to refute an unproven claim.

I call BS on the OP. Little Tich Sep 2016 #2

From what I can see, your documents are about what "was". The OP is about what "IS". jonno99 Sep 2016 #4

The Moroccan occupation of West Sahara is still ongoing - just ask Ban Ki Moon. n/t Little Tich Sep 2016 #6

It is a very simple point: jonno99 Sep 2016 #8

It's very simple. Your opponent knows damned well how simple & factual the point is. n/t shira Sep 2016 #10

By it's singular focus on Israel, the UN effectively absolves all other nations' occupations. shira Sep 2016 #13

I seem to be the only one who actually reads the UN resolutions about occupied territories. Little Tich Sep 2016 #16

Maybe we should do a word search & comparison on the phrase "deeply deplores"... shira Sep 2016 #19

Me? I have nothing to prove - you go ahead and have fun with the resolutions... n/t Little Tich Sep 2016 #20

The OP includes verbs like "deplore".... shira Sep 2016 #21

I'll let you have all the fun reading and comparing the UN resolutions... Little Tich Sep 2016 #22

You're not responding to the precise terminology from the OP. shira Sep 2016 #5

The Moroccan occupation of West Sahara was specifically mentioned in the OP. Little Tich Sep 2016 #7

Sure, so find how many times Morocco is described as the "Occupying Power". shira Sep 2016 #9

The simplest way to refute an argument is to prove that its negation is true, which I've already Little Tich Sep 2016 #11

And you haven't refuted anything. Nice try with the bullshit. shira Sep 2016 #12

As the saying goes- jonno99 Sep 2016 #14

Your argument is to prove Morocco being an "occupying power" isn't synonymous... shira Sep 2016 #15

If you could perhaps take a look at S/RES/1483 (2003) that I linked to in post #2? Little Tich Sep 2016 #17

Problem is you don't read too well. Here's what the OP states... shira Sep 2016 #18
