Why hasn't Israel been held to the resolutions against it over the last 40 years?
Iraq is not setting a precedent by ignoring UN resolutions.
Please read my post on the UN to understand why Israel has not respected the UN resolutions.
The UN human rights commission is nearly half composed of dictatorships, and third world despotic members such as Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Cuba, Zimbabwe, etc.
Of the 59 General Assembly resolutions made during the 2001 session almost half dealt with Israel while the General Assembly remained silent of the actions of many ruthless undemocratic regimes.
Do you really think that Israel should be adhering resolutions by this tarnished institution in what is obviously a kangaroo court of inquiry?
The US should not have tried to get the UN's backing. The corrupt third world members of the UN make Olympic Figure Skating judges look fair in comparison. The US should phone every country and ask do you support us or oppose us. Keep a list and act unilaterally if necessary.
And remember those countries like Germany and France who decided to political grandstand instead of help.
