You talking about United Nations Resolution 181?  So now you're using the United Nations as a source, but only when it agrees with you as well.  You're double standards are incredibly one sided.

Apparently you don't know what UN Resolution 181 was. It proposed a partition of the British Mandate, which describes administration of the partition and state boundaries.  https://web.archive.org/web/20171010090147/https://unispal.un.org/DPA/DPR/unispal.nsf/0/7F0AF2BD897689B785256C330061D253.
So no I wasn't "appealing" to that. But the UN is part of the factual record. Hard to discuss the Arab-Israeli conflict without reference to it; it would "agree" with me only when I needed factual sources regarding UN proceedings.  

So nothing in my sentence above suggests I was using the UN as a "source" at all, much less "only when it agrees with [me]." 

What I was "appealing" to is the current consensus of Israeli historians, from Benny Morris on the right to Illan Pappe on the left, which agrees that Palestinians were outgunned, overwhelmed and driven from their land by hundreds of thousands of migrants from Europe, beginning the last week of Nov. 1947, producing over 250,000 refugees and a number of massacres in a campaign of ethnic cleansing which began BEFORE supposed "aggressor nations" came to their aid.

I have explained this history to you before, at least twice, and you have either disregarded it or faulted the Palestinians for not letting the Israeli's "chill" on the land they took by violence.Israelis have a right to take land by violence; Palestinians don't. How is that not a double standard?

You ignore the ethnic cleansing and repeat that Arab nations who came to their aid were "aggressors" who got their asses kicked.
How is that not disregarding the factual record when it suits you.  I.e., what you accuse me of without proof.
