According to this, as of November 2000, Israel has flipped-off 69 U.N. resolutions. But hey, this is Israel, and we all know that the U.S. allows Israel to act with impunity.

a good read. and some "choice cuts" below....

>>>
"An even closer look at our record reveals that the U.S. has vetoed 29 UN resolutions against Israel. The U.S. has never vetoed a single UN resolution against an Arab country. Moreover, while the U.S. has punished Iraq's violation of one UN resolution by supporting sanctions that have killed over 500,000 Iraqi children, our great leaders have chosen to ignore the 69 UN resolutions that Israel has defied."

What is so special about our relationship with Israel that we have been willing to completely compromise our role as an "honest broker" of the peace process? What is so special about our devotion to Israel that when it attacked the U.S.S Liberty ship in 1967 killing 33 sailors and injuring 177, our government ignored the sailors' families requests to investigate the "accident" further? What is so special about this commitment that the U.S. has to look the other way every time Israel refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty? What is so special about this "ally" that when Israel sells U.S. technology to China, Congress barely raises an objection and continues to supply Israel with military aid? What is so special about this relationship that U.S. is willing to pass unjust policies that infuriate the international community and put every American citizen's life at risk?
