On Saturday 29 November 2003 04:08, Archimedes Plutonium ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) held forth in soc.history (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>): > I am watching the UN drama unfold as to the UN telling Israel to stop > fencing in the Palestinians and tear down their wall. > > The UN vote of 144 to tear down the Israel wall and 4 opposed. The "impartiality" of the UN was amply demonstrated last week when Israel had to withdraw a resolution condemning murder of Israeli children as it faced near certain rejection. Last year, the same organization had no compunction in passing resolutions condemning Israel's actions in the West Bank. When the UN fails to even condemn the murder of kids, it really shows it for what it is on this issue : 30 X Arab Oil vs Israeli blood. The UN has no moral place any longer in this dispute. It will be interesting to see its tune the day environmental concerns force large scale adoption of non hydrocarbon based energy sources.
