In the last two weeks, we have been treated to the way in which the two major parties conduct their own personal affairs, among people with whom they usually agree and whose support they need/want/seek out/spend millions of dollars on.

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.
