Talk:United Nations Security Council Resolution 242

Useless Map
The "Map of territories occupied by Israel, Date 22 November 1967" accompanying this article makes no sense at all. It excludes the Sinai and it does not explain what the coloring means at all. Brasselimburg (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I came to say the same. It is extremely odd as the conquest of Sinai was a principal cause of international shock. Among other things the area is twice the size of Israel + Gaza + Golan Heights + West Bank and extended up to the Suez canal. There is a good map that is used for the the Six-Day War Israeli_occupation_of_the_Sinai_Peninsula articles. It makes sense to use it here as well.

I'm not sure how to get it to render in non-gigantic size, so I will just link it. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:6DayWarEnglish.png

 * Snap! It's misleading because to put the resolution in context it needs to show the territories occupied to which the resolution's calling for de-occupation refers, the Sinai first. How can we change it? JonathanMeldrum1975 (talk) 15:36, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It's also misleading because it misrepresents which territories were occupied.
 * Resolution 242 is absolutely explicit that conflict does not move international boundaries, so the Gaza Strip annexed by Egypt and the West Bank annexed by Jordan after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War were occupied territories reclaimed during the Six Day War.
 * Sinai and the Golan became territories occupied by Israel, and the resolution demands their return. AJRT1 (talk) 19:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Love that "reclaimed". Sorry but your personal analysis is off-topic in addition to being wrong. Zerotalk 10:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Potential Vandalism
Looking through the list of Security Council nations in the box template, I noticed someone had replaced China's flag with Taiwan's. Pretty sure this is vandalism as the associated link leads to the article on Taiwan rather than the one on mainland China. CherryPigeon (talk) 05:29, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Preamble
If I understand the preamble correctly, "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war" means that the 1948 Arab-Israeli War did not change the Mandate boundaries. AJRT1 (talk) 13:40, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
