I'd argue that UN resolutions are the only law standing right now unless we abolish the UN and replace it with something else. But I repeat that I don't see Palestinians with any greater claim than the Israelis to Jerusalem using the same standard for both, so at least it's a consistent approach. And yes, this would mean that nobody in the region by now has clean hands with UN resolutions.
