33. You missed my point
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 08:08 AM by eyl
(or maybe I missed yours)

You said that the UN justly condemned small countries, while giving big countries I pass. I showed that even looking at small countries alone, Israel is still singled out. Also, even in the context of the Israeli-Arab conflict alone, Israel is singled out for condemnation - when Israel and another country are wrong (assuming for the sake of argument that Israel is justly condemned in all cases) in the same incident, still only Israel is condemned, and there have been to my knowledge almost no resolutions condemning anyone (icluding the PLO, which granted recognition by the UN should be given more attention that various groups worldwide) for actions against Israel except in the most general terms. And when the UN does do something against Israel, it's out of proportion to the UN's actions against any other actor. In addition, Israel faces structural difficulties at the UN faced by no other nation (in particular, ineligibility for various UN posts).
