Let me clarify this: the original use of the term "Palestine" in UN documents referred to the region in question, without any prejudice as to whether Jews or Arabs were more Palestinian than the other. This should not be confused with the current usage of the term, which seems to apply to Arab nationalism in the same area. -- Leifern 13:02, 8 January 2006
Even though a huge majority of Americans, 70.4%, believe the US should "not take either side" in the Israel-Palestine conflict [1], the US has vetoed literally dozens of UN resolutions calling for Israel to exercise restraint. [1] Here is a list of 39 "Vetoes Cast by the United States to Shield Israel from Criticism by the U.N. Security Council" [2] As of July 14th, 2006:
Sort of...You cite a poll from 2001 and that uses questions with perhaps...guiding wording. There is far more and far more recent polling data relevant to that question and they don't seem to support your position as much.
The US has already vetoed a council resolution demanding Israel end its military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Eight of the last nine vetoes have been cast by the United States. Seven of those were to do with the Israel-Palestinian conflict. [2]
The very next day, July 15, 2006, the Israeli magazine Haaretz reported that the US unilaterally opposed any council action at all at this time for the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. [3] Some say US unilateral support for Israel is hindering peace in the region. According to the CATO Institute, "a non-profit public policy research foundation headquartered in Washington, D.C." [4]:
U.S. aid allows Israel's leaders to avoid the political and economic costs of clinging to the occupied territories and refrain from making decisions that might lead to an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. It also allows them to avoid the costs of perpetuating a welfare system. Moreover, U.S. aid, more than any other factor, helps to secure the power of the existing political elite. [5]
According to IfAmericansKnew.org, "Although it is not often reported by the press, a large proportion of American diplomatic and military experts have long held that U.S. support of Israel is often contrary to and, in fact, extremely damaging to U.S. interests." [6]
Discussion: Rather than the wholesale removal of negative publicity for Israel, please explain why it should be removed. FightCancer 17:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Application of a weasel word can give the illusion of neutral point of view: "Some people say Montreal is the nicest city in the world." Although this is an improvement, since it no longer states the opinion as fact, it remains uninformative:
It is not fair to remove this information. Again, as weasel words states, "If we add a source for the opinion, the readers can decide for themselves how they feel about the source's reliability:". Please consider the revision below. If it's unfair in your opinion, please be specific.
COMMENT - Although those who draft and/or edit articles in Wikipedia are not necessarily journalists, it should be incumbent on them to determine whether the source of their submissions are reliable or not. This is even more important in the 'post truth' era that we are in. Information from sources that are not deemed to be reliable or trustworthy should not be entered. But the sources used for articles should be identified, so that readers can then decide whether the information is (in their opinion) viable or laughable.
Perhaps this begs the question about the need for three lists of sources - not for a particular article, but rather for use by all Wiki articles. One would be a list of reliable/trustworthy sources (eg. The Washington Post, The Guardian, BBC, NPR). The second list would contain those that are unreliable (eg. Facebook, Youtube, National Enquirer). The third list would be entitled 'Often reliable, but with a bias' (eg. FOX News, SUN Publications). Dennis the Canuck ( talk) 22:38, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Revision
Even though a huge majority of Americans, 70.4%, believe the US should "not take either side" in the Israel-Palestine conflict [3], the US has vetoed literally dozens of UN resolutions calling for Israel to exercise restraint. [1] Here is a list from Donald Neff of 39 "Vetoes Cast by the United States to Shield Israel from Criticism by the U.N. Security Council" [4] According to Democracy Now!, as of July 14th, 2006:
The US has already vetoed a council resolution demanding Israel end its military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Eight of the last nine vetoes have been cast by the United States. Seven of those were to do with the Israel-Palestinian conflict. [2]
The very next day, July 15, 2006, the Israeli magazine Haaretz reported that the US unilaterally opposed any council action at all at this time for the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. [3]
Wikipedia is an Israeli PROPAGANDA SITE and ANYTHING about Israel that is not written with an eye to glorify the apartheid state of Israel or hide their crimes, or hide the STRANGLEHOLD Jews have on the American government from the American public--Israel doesn't care about anybody else--WILL BE REMOVED for JUST that reason. LOL! What a JOKE! This is true, read here for proof: http://www.israelshamir.net/English/Eng37.htm And also read the second part: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:American_Israel_Public_Affairs_Committee#WHY_was_the_following_Nader_info_removed.2Fcensored.3F

Just like it's not up to the Chinese government to decide which websites the Chinese can Google, just like it's not up to Afghani clerics to decide which religion they must worship, it's not up to us Wiki editors to decide which sources to quote. According to the Wikipedia policy for Weasel Words, "If we add a source for the opinion, the readers can decide for themselves how they feel about the source's reliability". As Wikipedia says, "Help empower the world with free knowledge!" I'll take freedom of information over censorship any day. FightCancer 04:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
The United States has vetoed dozens of UN resolutions censuring or condemning Israel. [1] A list of 39 vetoes cast by the United States to scuttle motions regarding Israel can be found here. [5] On July 14th, 2006, the US vetoed a resolution demanding that Israel end its military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Of the last 9 vetoes cast in the security council, seven have been cast by the US against resolutions critical of Israel. [2]
These vetoes have been criticized by many observers as representing unfair and unilateral support for Israel by the United States. Supporters of the vetoes claim that the resolutions are one-sided and do not do enough to condemmn Palestinian Terrorism.
I removed this sentence from the intro as it believe it is the epitome of weasel words.
Both pro-Israeli [7] and anti-Israeli sources [8] noted the disproportionately high number of the United Nations resolutions against the State of Israel.
I suggest we add sources in the text and remove description "disproportionately high". This description is the author's alone and does not reflect the opinions of anyone I know of. FightCancer 13:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Palffy, you removed these sentences noting "This is an incorrect statement from a biased source. See resolutions for yourself, http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/UN/usvetoes.html".
According to IfAmericansKnew.org, "Israel is the target of at least 65 UN Resolutions and the Palestinians are the target of none" from 1955-1992. [8] They add, "These resolutions, which now number 66, contain the international community’s list of indictments against the Jewish state." [9]
Would you mind explaining how the two sentences were incorrect? FightCancer 14:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello all! FightCancer put out a request to the Mediation Cabal for arbitration on the issue of sources and comments. I ask that you please place all future discussion regarding this issue under this section.
I would like to propose a compromise. Humus Sapiens removed material earlier by arguing that it did not stand with the title. Using that as a model, I would like to propose that the entire section be dismissed as not in keeping with the title. The title, List of the UN resolutions concerning Israel and Palestine does not seem to warrant much analysis. In fact, that the title contains the word "list" implies no analysis. Also, the page United Nations Security Council Resolutions has no Remarks section, nor do the linked lists on that page.
Remember, I am part of the Mediation Cabal, so this is not binding and I offer it as a mere suggestion. If this is agreable to everyone, I will perform the edit. If not, please feel free to say so in this section and I will continue to work toward a solution. -- LawrenceTrevallion 02:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Until we sort this out, I have placed a warning on the Remarks section of this article. FightCancer's suggestions are reasonable solutions to the point I raised. Does anyone else have an opinion, or does one of FightCancer's suggestions seem better than the others? -- LawrenceTrevallion 03:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Hahahahaha!! PRECISELY.
Alright, if there are no objections, I will remove the Remarks section from this article. -- LawrenceTrevallion 22:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
My apologies for putting this notice on here so late, but I checked with FightCancer to see if he/she still needed my services but never heard back on the subject, so I assume the mediation is closed. LawrenceTrevallion 21:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Is this paragraph currently disputed?
"There are pro-Israeli [1] and anti-Israeli sources [2] that have noted the amount of United Nations resolutions against Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir commissioned an analysis of UN voting concerning Israel. According to results of this study [3], from 1967 to 1988 the Security Council passed 88 resolutions directly against Israel and during that span, Israel was condemned 43 times. In the UN General Assembly, 429 resolutions against Israel were passed, and Israel was condemned 321 times.[4]"
If so, could someone explain if the dispute relates the factual accuracy of the stated numbers of UN resolutions or the manner this is conveyed?
Would rewording and using the material in an introduction be helpful?
"The following is a list of UN resolutions that concern Palestine (Arab and Jewish land), Israel only or bordering states (such as Lebanon). From 1967 to 1988 the UN Security Council passed 88 resolutions directly against Israel and during that span, Israel was condemned 43 times. During this time, in the UN General Assembly, 429 resolutions against Israel were passed, and Israel was condemned 321 times."
This example of rewording certainly isn't perfect, but I think having an introductory paragraph is more usual than having a remarks section at the end.

The site is "antisemitic" BECAUSE it criticizes the actions of the state of Israel, which is the DEFINITION of "anti-semitic' these days. That designation of the site as "antisemitic' PER SE makes EVERYTHING on the site "unreliable", even if that information is a videotape of a speech by Ehud Olmert or George Bush saying that the sky is blue, and pointing a camera upwards at a clear sky to prove it. On the other hand, if the Israeli army, fresh off of slaughtering 57 children in an orphanage claim that (1) it was a "mistake", then, as a matter of fact, it WAS a mistake. If, on the other hand, the Israeli army comes back two hours later and says that rockets were fired from this orphanage by "terrorists", then, it was a "mistaken" raid that "targeted" a rocket launcher from an orphanage", despite the OBVIOUS CONTRADICTION. That is what qualifies as a "facts" these days. It's all a matter of WHO is talking, not the inherent reliability of the information being given out. Orwell would be proud.
This article has a number of problems:

Do individual resolutions need to have there own articles in wikipedia or can we just wikisource them and put more encyclopedic detail about individual resolutions here? Pocopocopocopoco ( talk) 04:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I think this should be moved to a more suitable "israel at the un" page, which can then include lots of other issues like israel not getting on the security council and various other un bodies. including criticisms, etc. what do others think? there's a lot of matter here. Lihaas ( talk) 00:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
The lede here is severely problematic. The calculation of what resolutions are "against" Israel derives from two sources: A website by "Christian Action for Israel," which is some obscure Canadian activist group, and an article published in a virtually unknown online-only "magazine" called Capitalism, which is devoted to popularizing the philosophy of a hack novelist who founded her own cult. There is also no reason to be using as sources, for example, speeches made by Australian and British politicians trying to justify an attack on Iraq in terms of enforcing Chapter VII resolutions, or incidental comments in op-ed pieces. You can equally cite other incidental comments to make a completely opposite point, but that's not the purpose of Wikipedia. People, please. We are dealing with international diplomacy at the highest level. There are academic sources, ie, articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals in the field of international law.
I'll copy the offending paragraphs here to the talk page for now; perhaps they can be salvaged, perhaps not. < eleland/ talk edits> 20:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, right, of course. When I saw the huge blockquotes of Australian politicians in the refs section I should have known who was at work here! ;) < eleland/ talk edits> 20:41, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
The following is a list of United Nations resolutions that concern Israel only or bordering states (such as Lebanon).(ref) Israel and the UN - An Uneasy Relationship (Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations).(/ref)(ref) ifamericansknew.org.(/ref) From 1967 to 1989 the UN Security Council passed 131 resolutions directly dealing with the Arab-Israeli conflict. Of the 131 resolutions passed, 43 could be considered neutral while the remaining 88 either criticized and opposed the actions of Israel or judged against its interests. Nearly half of the 88 resolutions against Israel "condemned", "censured" or "deplored" the member state or its actions.(ref) The U.N.'s Record Vis A Vis Israel Retrieved 22 April 2007.(/ref) During this time, in the UN General Assembly, 429 resolutions against Israel were passed, and Israel was condemned 321 times.(ref) The United Nation's War Against Israel by David Harsanyi: Capitalism Magazine, 27 May 2002. Retrieved 23 July 2006.(/ref) The United States has used its veto power to prevent resolutions concerning Israel from passing through the Security Council on 42 occasions since 1970. [11] Resolutions condemning Israel were not made under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, but rather under Chapter VI, which relates to the "Pacific Settlement of Disputes" between parties, and as such have no enforcement mechanisms and are considered by some commentators to have no binding force under international law.(ref)No binding force under international law
The link for this statement is dead: The Human Rights Council has adopted more resolutions condemning Israel than it has all other states combined.[1] Dead link, the statement is unfounded, will therefore remove it if there are no objections.Karimmtl 12:50, 1 February 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karimmtl ( talk • contribs)
The intro incorrectly states that Resolutions concerning Israel have never invoked Chapter VII of the UN Charter. UN Security Council Resolution 54 is recorded under Chapter VII in Johansson, Patrik, UN Security Council Chapter VII resolutions, 1946-2002. The resolution contains an order directed to the Provisional Government of Israel that was issued pursuant to Article 40 of the Charter:
2. Orders the Governments and authorities concerned, pursuant to Article 40 of the Charter, to desist from further military action and to this end to issue cease-fire orders to their military and paramilitary forces, to take effect at a time to be determined by the Mediator, but in any event not later than three days from the date of the adoption of this resolution
Resolution 61 recalls the earlier resolution 54, and states that the Security Council was convened to determine what measures to take under Chapter VII. The council authorized the UN Mediator to take action:
United Nations Security Council Resolution 338 (with the next few resolutions).is another example mentioned in the report. Good find, Harlan, this point in relation to SC 338 was the first edit I made to wikipedia, and I looked for such an easily accessible web ref for a long time. It is hard to argue that the Korean War resolutions were not intended to be binding / chapter VII, (though there was a debate about their Charter legality) yet the SC was cutesy even with them. John Z ( talk) 19:45, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
WP:OR permits the use of primary sources when they speak for themselves, or when the analysis is provided by a WP:RS secondary source. The Security Council Report is sponsored by several UN diplomatic missions. It says that UN Resolution 54 was adopted in accordance with the terms of Chapter VII (as outlined in the section above). The fact that it and subsequent resolutions which mention article 40 & etc were "Chapter VII" resolutions can be confirmed by checking the primary sources.
The representative of Israel, Mr Eban, said that the resolution had been adopted under the terms of Chapter VII. His remarks are part of the verbatim record of the 340th Meeting of the Security Council. The meeting took place on the 27th of July, a week after the Security Council had adopted resolution 54. The Council was considering a request for an ICJ advisory opinion on the legality of adopting a Chapter VII resolution in regard to the Palestine Question. Mr. Eban said:
The theory was advanced the other day that a judgment of the Court might be of service to this Council, inasmuch as it would affect the determination of a threat to the peace or an act of aggression. The representative of China hinted that such a judgment might be necessary in order to determine whether Chapter VII of the Charter is applicable to the Palestine question at this or any future time. But the view that a juridical verdict must be preliminary to action under Chapter VII is completely disposed of by the fact that the Security Council has already taken action under Chapter VII, has determined the existence of a threat to the peace, and has, therefore, embarked upon a course which it must, if necessary, pursue throughout all the stages which follow that act of determination. It would certainly be remarkable if the Security Council, one week after applying Chapter VII of the Charter, were suddenly to find it necessary to have the views of another organ
of the United Nations on whether or not Chapter VII can be invoked.
The subsequent resolutions regarding the establishment of permanent cease fire and armistice lines, Resolutions 61 and 62, recalled resolution 54 and cited article 40 of the Charter (Chapter VII). Select a language to download a pdf of the verbatim record here: S/PV.340.
I came across a veiled reference to this in the Foreign Relations of the United States several years ago in connection with the IDF withdrawal from the Sinai in 1956. PM Ben Gurion had unilaterally declared the armistice agreements null and void. A US State Department official questioned the legal standing of the parties to do that, and mentioned that the agreements were an international undertaking that were sanctioned under the terms of Chapter VII. I was reminded of that the other day when the EU Foreign Minister suggested that the Security Council impose a solution that included a withdrawal to the lines that existed on 4 June 1967. harlan ( talk) 20:03, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
1. Low quality sources. Noam Chomsky is hardly an authoritive source on the Mideast conflict, and the other book is not much better. If anyone seriously insists on using the "Uneasy neighbors" book as a reliable source, then at least do not use it selectively - what about including that the UN is "obsessively devoted to criticsm of Israel" and so on.
2. The entry is as POV as it can get here on Wikipedia. Regularly and international consensus are a weaselwords, in particular in light of that resolutions were vetoed only 15% of the time and international consensus can mean anything and nothing. That most of the resolutions did not even supported the PLO and or called for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is rather counterfactual. The resolutions called for all kinds of things, as you can easily check if you look at some of the textx of some resolutions.
3. The article is about resolutions concerning Israel, not about the US. If the US needs to be included, what about the vetoes and abstantions of other council members? That is what NPOV would require. It would also require to look at the disproportionate number of resolutions levelled against Israel, compared to other, arguably worse human-rights abusers. But then, that is not the purpose of this article and is not within the article topic.
4. The lenghty discussions on this talk page suggest that consensus is that the article should stay as it is, so not to become another Drama magnet. The very least criterion any new addition should satisfy a wording that is as neutral as possible and that is based on very strong and reputable reference.
5. The edit summary "Here is another Ref. And this is a fact, I don't need a strong Ref" was quite humurous, especially in light of the fact that the promised other reference was "3. The US has periodically used its veto to block resolutions critical of Israel. [sic!]". Stepopen ( talk) 13:03, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
While I am sure that it can be further improved, I do not see a compelling reason for its outright deletion. Regarding your claims in point #1, Noam Chomsky is a WP:RS for the purposes of Wikipedia. Further, should you wish to include the claim that the UN is biased against Israel in this article, per the second source cited, I see little problem with adding that. Regarding point #2, "regularly" is used by the sources cited, and "international consensus" is a paraphrase (I believe) which can bve rephrased should you find it objectionable. I see you are familiar with WP:WEASEL, but I do not believe it applies here. Regarding claim #3, when multiple reliable sources mention US vetoes with regard to UN Security resolutions, we should too. If you have sources that discuss the vetoes by other states in this regard, please present them. I have no problem including them if they exist. The sources indicate though that US vetoes are quite relevant to this topic and so should be included (in my opinion at least, and I believe Imad Marie agrees). Regarding point #4, drama can be avoided by not reflexiely reverting out information you are having difficulty with, but by working to improve it, or by presenting suggestions for improving it here, rather than accusing your fellow editors of "POV" editing when they are merely represneting what is written in reliable sources. Point #5 is largely irrelevant to the present discussion. I provided you with sources that are in fact reliable. If you would like to see more however, such a request can be obliged, if you ask nicely. Tiamut talk 15:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC)The United States has regularly voted alone and against international consensus, using its veto power to block the passing of many proposed UN Security Council resolutions supporting the PLO and calling for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [9] [10]
No, drama can be avoided by looking at the previous talk history, by using only undoubtly reliable sources and not Noam Chomsky, and by being as neutral and balanced as possible in ones own wording. Needless to say that one should also not introduce hoaxes in the article and misrepresent facts - if only roughly 15% of all resolutions have been vetoed by the US than this should not be hidden behind the weaselwords regularly and that the vast majority of all resolutions did not say anything about the PLO or the two state resolutions. That you come here and claim that you merely represent what reliable sources say is not very convincing, just look at how your sourcing works - you google "US veto Israel regularly" and then use whatever you find as a source. That doesn't make it look like you are overly concerned with facts, but more about what you think should be in the article. But then, as Humus sapiens said above, this article is about resolutions concerning Israel, and not about US activity in the security council. Stepopen ( talk) 04:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
At the risk of precipitating a partisan debate (which is not my intention), I'm nevertheless compelled to raise the issue of
this article's inclusion in the category of "antisemitism."
Is there a genuine, no-BS, objective source to support this? To merely follow a list of resolutions and brief descriptions of them with a placement into this category comes off as more or less in line with the fringe-minority view of anything remotely critical of Israel as little better than thinly-veiled antisemitism, a view which is hardly universal enough to warrant the classification of any and all UN resolutions concerning Israel as such.
I would like to get some feedback before eliminating the category listing, as I well understand that nearly everything concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is certain to be rife with controversy.--

Agree. Why are there no UNGA Resolutions against Israel after 1991? Is this a lapse in this article? Surely it can't be entirely down to the USA's uncritical stance towards the State of Israel? It's outrageous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.58.189 ( talk) 13:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
I apologize, however the links I entered for 1982-83 GA resolutions do not work. The UN site links to an intermediate site which then links to the final site with the resolution, either an html page or a pdf. However, neither the html nor the PDF resolutions (nor the addresses of the intermediate sites which you have to capture very quickly as they go by) work when linked from Wikipedia. If anyone knows how to fix them, please do so and/or post the solution here. Thanks. Jeisenberg ( talk) 00:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
While UN resolutions over Palestine and Israel issues are sometimes related they are deserving each a separate page. Many of the resolutions regarding Israel are nothing to do with Palestine, and many resolutions on Palestinians deal with status of refugees in Arab League countries, or with the Status of PLO in UN. I therefore suggest to split this page into List of United Nations resolutions concerning Israel and List of United Nations resolutions concerning Palestine. Thoughts?

Over the past few decades Israel has succeeded in stifling any and all criticism of Israel, Israel’s Holocaust of the Palestinians as being anti-Semitic. This is very true within the US and also across Europe. Israel has very powerful political lobbying groups and friends among elected officials ( US Congress and Senate) which helps kill any and all legislation critical of Israel and hence any attempt to reduce the level of financial assistance Israel continues to receive from the USA.

I'd like to suggest changing the following description of the latest UN General Assembly resolution from: "2023 27 October: Resolution ES-10/21: Criticizing Israeli actions in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war."
To: "2023 27 October: Resolution ES-10/21: Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations in the 2023 Israel-Hams war.";
As this is more in line with the title and the content of said resolution. The current description refers to how the subject was called on the agenda, and not to the resolution as it was passed.
During an ongoing conflict and this one especially it's hard to stay objective or even find objective information, and that's why I've attentively read the actual text of the the resolution where the linked article links to ( https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/LTD/N23/319/20/PDF/N2331920.pdf?OpenElement through https://undocs.org/Home/Mobile?FinalSymbol=A%2FES-10%2FL.25&Language=E".
