Ahh yes, Washington DC is the same way and Back Bay Boston, same thing, wetland filled in.
Back Bay people drove wooden logs down into the muck and apparently the logs don't deteriorate.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
@AThousandYoung saidYou sound envious. The people call successful, those with high UN standing, veto power, are routinely ignored by the Jews.
Muslim is not an ethnic group. I sound like a Sunni Arab or a Hispanic Catholic. Or an Orthodox Russian, or a Protestant Anglo.
@AThousandYoung saidSuccessful and powerful countries [the ones you identified], fall within the control of the UN. Only the more powerful and successful ones, like the Jews, ignore the UN resolutions, guidelines and orders.
I live on the other side of the planet from these people. I don’t care.
Even Spain is across the Med from these people.

BTW in this formal context Israel is a State and the USA is a union of States. Not countries.

Also on 14 May 1948, the day on which the British Mandate of Palestine was to expire, Israel declared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel".
In the quote above “Eretz Israel” is the country that the State of Israel would have sovereignty over.
@AThousandYoung saidIm familiar with your petty wrangling over terminology and expressions, while ignoring the essence of the discussion.
How can the UN control a “country” with a veto?
