Why no U.N. investigation into people murdered and maimed while eating at a religious dinner? or a pizzeria? or a nightclub? or strolling at a marketplace?

Is that a massacre Len...

Why would anyone subject themselves to the investigation, guilty or not? Anyone even if nothing to hide..Why?

The only reason is to prove that you are not guilty....Israel does not feel guilty and Absurd charge of massacre, has been dropped anyway, right?

Throwing its support behind Israel, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved a resolution expressing solidarity with the Jewish state in the Middle East conflict and condemning Palestinian suicide bombings.

Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani of Singapore, this month's council president, drafted a letter expressing "deep regret" at the mission's cancellation but backing Secretary-General Kofi Annan's plans to abandon the mission.

The letter also would have asked Annan to "collate all available information regarding recent events" at the West Bank Palestinian camp "with a view to producing, as far as possible, an accurate, thorough, balanced and credible report."

Palestinian U.N. observer Nasser al-Kidwa rejected the proposed letter out of hand, saying it did not "reflect the gravity of the situation and the fact that a member-state of the United Nations flouted a Security Council resolution and refused to cooperate with the secretary-general."

He said he was considering taking the matter to the General Assembly, where the Palestinian cause enjoys overwhelming support and the United States does not have a veto.

But General Assembly resolutions reflect only the will of the international community and are not binding, like most Security Council resolutions.

len. You said..." Was the UN (League of Nations) useless and biased when it voted to create Isra-El in 1947?"......

I really do not know if they were useless and biased at that time but it appears to me that they have become that way with the passage of time and I suppose with the addition of many new countries.

If it was the UN that created the state of Israel why do the arabs blame the Jews.?
