How Can Israel Ignore Over 66 UN Resolutions Regarding It?

[G2099]

And the world does nothing?

Are they "special" that they can ignore over 66 United Nations Resolution regarding the state of Israel?

What kind of "double standard" world do we live in here?

What the hell is going down on this planet?

[Kagemusha]

1. In case you haven't noticed, the US blocks all enforcement.

And that is why the world does nothing.

Because the US has a veto on the world.

[orpupilofnature57]

2. Exactly ,like going to War without the U.N.

[G2099]

3. Where the heck is the Standard of Justice and Equality in this World?

[Kagemusha]

5. It's called the United States of America.

Perhaps the standard has been debased somewhat in recent years, but nonetheless it is the standard, and if it says what Israel does is just and right, then so far as international law is concerned, in the practice thereof, it is true.

4. How can the Arab world ignore the BIG one that ESTABLISHED Israel?

[CollegeDUer]

11. Yes, what the arabs say is more hurtful than what Israel says

I've heard this garbage many times. Palestinians are still being pushed out of their homes and crushed by tanks while these hypocrites chant for the "recognition of israel"

[PresidentWar]

6. See who Her Daddy Warbucks is.....

and all will be answered. A rampaging kid doesn't stop rampaging until dad cuts the purse strings.

[LaPera]

7. The same way Bush ignores direct court orders-He just says fuck you and

what can you do about it?

Ha, I thought so.... NOTHING!

Same with Israel. Israel's right-wing government can do as they please and say fuck you, because no will fuck with their big daddy, the US & BushCo.

[WilliamPitt]

8. Friends in high places

It's helpful to have a pal as one of the permanent members of the Security Council.

[Fredda Weinberg]

9. Have you actually *read* any of the resolution?

The ones I've seen all say the final boundaries have to be set by negotiations. Israel has never been required to withdraw unilaterally from areas from which she was attacked.

[CollegeDUer]

12. Israel the feminine

A great linguistic trick to try to create sympathy for her.

[Balbus]

13. Would you have preferred it as "Israel the kike"?

[CollegeDUer]

17. Israel the "outlaw" makes the best sense, doesn't it?

[Balbus]

19. Which law?

[CollegeDUer]

20. Almost all of the international laws

Except genocide, I think it's up for everything up until that.

[Balbus]

21. Be specific.

Which law, set up by whom, did "they" (noticed I didn't use "her" - I know how sensitive you are about that) did they violate?

[Fredda Weinberg]

18. Linguistic trick? Can't you leave domestic politics out of this?

Mother Russia isn't a linguistic trick either ... and 'Fatherland' always had negative connotations for me. In Hebrew, "eretz" as in "eretz yisroel" is feminine, hence the she.

Look, I know you don't like the questionably legitimate regime we got, but you're projecting your animosity in the wrong direction. Now, don't you feel stupid?

[hughee99]

10. The same way other countries do...

the UN passes resolutions that don't have the consequences clearly stated in the resolution. When it's broken, they argue over what to do about it an nothing gets done.

16. Just as I thought

From you link back to resolution 425

2. Calls upon Israel immediately to cease its military action against Lebanese territorial integrity and withdraw forthwith its forces from all Lebanese territory;

3. Decides, in the light of the request of the Government of Lebanon, to establish immediately under its authority a United Nations interim force for southern Lebanon for the purpose of confirming the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restoring international peace and security and assisting the Government of Lebanon in ensuring the return of its effective authority in the area, the force to be composed of personnel drawn from States Members of the United Nations.


Lets see ... Israel has ceased military action and what does forthwith mean? As quickly as reasonably possible.

As for immediately ... does anyone here see a UN interim force in place yet? As soon as one exists, Israel will once again withdraw from Lebanese territory, just as the UN certified she did last time.

15. Why should anyone listen to the UN?

what did the UN do about Tiannemen Square? How much good have UN peacekeepers done in Kashmir?

The UN is merely a format which allows the powerful Nation-States to have sway in international politics. It cares nothing for people. And the standard for the world must be the individual.
