General Assembly resolution 181, of Nov. 29, 1947:

It calls for the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem to be controlled by a "special international regime" to protect its holy places. The Zionist movement seeking to establish a Jewish state accepted the partition, the Palestinians rejected it. After Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, war broke out pitting the nascent state against Palestinians and the surrounding Arab states that invaded. Israel gained more land than it would have had under the partition resolution. Neither Israel nor Jordan, which controlled the divided parts of Jerusalem after the war, accepted control of the holy city by an international body.

General Assembly resolution 194, Dec. 11, 1948:

It says Palestinian refugees "wishing to return to their homes and live in peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date." Israel objected to the return of the refugees, and negotiations over allowing a limited number back eventually broke down.
The United Nations at the time judged there were about 750,000 Palestinian refugees; Israel said there were fewer, the Palestinians said more. Estimates are that the refugees and their descendants now number more than 4 million. The resolution, passed during a brief cease-fire in the two-year war that followed creation of the Jewish state, calls for many other steps, including internationalization of Jerusalem and holy sites in Bethlehem and Nazareth.

Security Council resolution 242, Nov. 22, 1967:

It calls for "withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied" in the 1967 Six Day War and for "respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." The resolution was not carried out because the Arab side did not recognize Israel, and Israel refused to withdraw.
Israel maintains that since the resolution speaks of "territories" and not "the territories" it does not mean withdrawal from all the occupied lands; opponents counter this by pointing to the resolution's preamble which speaks of "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war."
Security Council resolution 338, adopted Oct. 22, 1973, after the Middle East war that year, reaffirms resolution 242.

General Assembly resolution 3379, Nov. 10, 1975:

It says that Zionism "is a form of racism and racial discrimination." Israel always maintained this resolution shows the bias toward it by the United Nations.
The resolution was pushed by the Eastern Bloc and African states that accused Israel of supporting the apartheid government in South Africa. The resolution was passed by a vote of 72 to 35, with 32 abstentions. It was rescinded on Dec. 16, 1991, by a vote of 111-25, with 13 abstentions and 17 nations absent or not voting.

Security Council resolution 425, March 19, 1978:

It calls on Israel to immediately withdraw its armed forces from southern Lebanon after Israel's first major invasion of its neighbor. Israel withdrew most of its forces but maintained its control over the area through a proxy Lebanese militia which it financed and armed. Israel again invaded in 1982, prompting Security Council resolution 509 of June 6, 1982, which called for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Israeli troops. Israel eventually withdrew its forces in May 2000 after a lengthy guerrilla war fought by the Lebanese, Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia. Israel's proxy Lebanese force immediately fell apart.

Security Council resolution 452, July 20, 1979:

It says Israel's practice of establishing settlements in the occupied territories "has no legal validity and constitutes a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War" and calls on Israel to cease building settlements. Israel has continued to build and enlarge its settlements; it maintains that the Fourth Geneva Conventions do not apply.
