As I do not have either a doctorate in law or philosophy (nor any for that matter), and as this is not a Jewish or Israeli document--it has been posted on the 'Cat several times, perhaps you would be so kind as to tell which we should consider 'manifest nonsense' or 'self-serving nonsense.'

The fact that Jewish/Israeli groups or persons may helped draft the document does not prima facie invalidate it. Jews and Israelis did not pass the resolution; governments or their committees did were signatories. Finally, interested parties (unions, chambers of commerce, ethnic and racial associations, gender groups) often take part, even lead, in drafting laws and resolutions which affect them, so why should not pro-Jewish groups?
