The inhabitants of Nu’man, in southeast Jerusalem, are residents of the territories and as such are not allowed to enter the capital. Other residents of the territories are banned from visiting the village, which pays municipal taxes but receives nothing in return – except demolished homes

    I think it’s time for the UN to resolve ( they haven’t the spine to ) that

    • ANY government which exacts tithes/taxes/tribute from a population,

    • WITHOUT providing equivalent-benefit,

    • THEREFORE is just committing criminal-extortion,

    • & therefore isn’t legal-government for that population,

    • AND if they’re also assaulting/home-demolishing, THEN they’re terrorist, not merely criminally-extorting & falsely-claiming-representation.


    Israel, Russia, China, wouldn’t tolerate such a resolution, would they?

    The US wouldn’t, either ( Puerto Rico’s taxed, & subject to military-draft, but isn’t permitted to vote, e.g. )…
