As long as it makes you sleep better.  I can see how irrational rationalizations can cause alot of fatigue.

Seems to me you are the one doing the rationalization.

Not at all.  Did Israel annex the territory?  Yes, they did, end of story.  No rationalizations necessary

What they are doing is occupying it. Their annexation is not legitimate in any countries eyes but their own.

What they did was annex it, per your previous inquiry.  The fact the UN doesn't recognize it is pretty much meaningless, but more to the point, they did annex it, AFTER DEFENDING THEMSELVES FROM AN ENEMY ATTACKING THEM FROM THAT REGION. 

IF the UN had any credibility, they'd authorize force to move Israel out, if Israel is the real bad guy, as you keep trying to push

The United States does not recognize their annexation. Are you going on record as saying the Reagan Administration had no credibility?

I'm goin on record as stating the UN has no credibility.  If you can demonstrate the U.S. runs the UN, then we can make that leap of illogic

The US voted affirmative on the UN resolution calling Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights as null and void and against the UN Charter and the Geneva Convention.

On Reagan's Watch.

That explains everything. Reagan was wrong to instruct Killpatrick to cast her vote the way she did.

You're the one stuck on "Reagan's watch" and "Reagan's Administration".  Whatever makes you sleep better

Following your logic, Both Reagan and the United States have no credibility since they dare cast a vote not in Israels favor.

So be it.

Following my logic, Reagan has a track record of making great end roads and progress, in the manner of bringing the country out of the misery the prior administration put us in, with the highlight of across the board tax rate reductions, but with a token few mistakes tossed in.  The UN has a track record of continued worsening antisemetic actions & records, not to mention a few pot shots taken at the U.S.

Need to try a different irrational rationalization effort

Define antisemitic. I think you are conflating the people with a political movement, thus the question.

Let's put it another way. Can you be anti-zionist and not be antisemitic? Who are these semites?

It's a difference between a track record and a mistake.  Reagan made a mistake with the UN vote.  The UN has been ongoing, with their mistakes, punctuated by that vote "condemning" the annexation of the Golan,  thus their designation of uncredible, vs your attempt to link the 2

Because Israel rightly annexed territory it took from a nation that tried, not just to attack them, but to rid the region of them.  When you start advocating that we need to give the U.S, or at least the east coast back to England, then you'll have a credible leg to stand on.  England merely wanted to rule us from afar.  Messers Syria, Jordan, and Egypt had far more nefarious goals in mind.
