Article 80 UN Charter affirms Jewish rule from river to the sea

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 29 May 2025


Significantly - the UN 1947 resolution had called for the creation of an Arab state – not a Palestinian state. The resolution was so worded because there were no identifiable groups called "Palestinians" or "Palestinian people" claiming"inalienable rights" in 1947.

These terms only came to be used after the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) was formed in 1964 when "Palestinians" were defined to mean:

those Arab citizens who were living normally in Palestine up to 1947, whether they remained or were expelled. Every child who was born to a Palestinian parent after this date whether in Palestine or ou" tside is a Palestinian.

Furthermore the PLO then declared that it did "not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area."

Protestors worldwide carrying signs proclaiming "From the River to the Sea - Palestine shall be free" are whistling in the wind. The Palestinians have no inalienable right to the land between the River and the Sea.

Article 80 of the UN Charter confirms the Jewish people possess the inalienable right to reconstitute the Jewish National Home between the River and the Sea.

The sooner the UN stops violating article 80 of its own Charter the sooner the resolution of the 100 years-old Jewish-Arab conflict becomes attainable.
