Subject: RE: BS: Giuliani: Israel Should Join NATO
from UNSCR 242:

Affirms that the fulfillment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East which should include the application of both the following principles:

    * Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict;
    * Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force;


The same resolution asks for (1) withdrawal from occupied territories and (2) recognition of the territorial integrity of all states. That is more than an implication that they should be dependent on anything else being done by other countries.

Just BTW, Ahmadinejad has made clear once more in his Columbia talk that he does not agree with the second part of what I have quoted. As usual his language was meant to feed his supporters and to fool others.
