It must have been somewhat galling to Israel to see the regard shown to Palestine at the United Nations last week, regard for which Israel has always aspired but has never achieved and never will as its place as the pariah state in the world grows daily. Why even this week, Israel has shown its contempt for the world body by announcing further building programs on Palestinian land after having probably murdered the occupants and/or bulldozed their homes.
The US, per courtesy of the Jewish fellow-traveller, Clinton, did put on her rehearsed irate face and stated that such an action was “unhelpful”. Really?
Strong words from Israel’s little helper
All arranged beforehand with Netanyahu during his failed attempt to bribe, threaten and cajole other nations into conforming to their wishes to give the Palestinian matter the thumbs down. Why Clinton would bother is hard to understand as Obama, in his sycophantic responses to Israel last week, made if perfectly clear that honesty and justice were not part of America’s agenda any more, now totally isolated from any further involvement in that part of the world.
And rightly so.
How times change. Israel was quite content to arrogantly ignore more UN Resolutions than any other country in the history of this world body while spending the rest of the time acting like a frightened child hiding behind the skirts of the US veto in the Security Council as it continued its apartheid policies.
What a disgraceful state.
