I've complained about Mr. White before but I should turn around and praise
him for what he's done well. The interactive historical atlas that this is a
part of is pretty amazing... the TOC is here:

There is a LOT more there than just the map of Israel that David refers to.
I liked some of the animated GIFs best. For instance the 1945-1990
government alignment timeline that I ran across. Pretty amazing.

Yes, the US favors Israel, I don't think I am denying that... but how does
this have bearing on my question?
Does Dan accept the original UN resolution founding Israel and giving it a
right to exist (and the Palestinians a separate homeland) or not? If not, is
he a pick and chooser (1) or does he intend to stop citing UN resolutions in
support of his case?
1 - I should note... *I* am a pick and chooser when it comes to the UN...
and thus I don't cite UN resolutions very much at all as justification for
anything. But since I don't (much), the argument doesn't (much) apply to me.
