<<The level of of anti-American & Anti-Israel rhetoric that passes thru the assembly speeches, that get not a whiff of condemnation, >>
Well, first of all I don't even know if that's true, the "not a whiff" thing. How do you know there's "not a whiff" of criticism for anti-American or anti-Israel rhetoric in the UN? Do you actually read through all the speeches that follow every outburst of objectionable rhetoric, looking for whiffs? I don't think so.
But even if there is very little criticism of anti-American or anti-Israel rhetoric, what does that tell you? Sounds to me like a lot of people all over the world are mightily pissed off about what the U.S. and Israel are doing and those opinions are virtually unanimous. If you were the parent of a juvenile delinquent and many teachers in the school were complaining about your son, and few if any defending him, would you write them off as a bunch of whiners or complainers or would you start to think, hey, maybe there is something objectionable in what this kid is up to?
<< the frequent crticisms, when not condemning Isreal & America for supposed massive Human Rights violations, >>
WHOA, what do you mean "supposed" massive human rights violations? How massive does the violation have to be, before it loses the "supposed" charges? The State of Israel, in its 39-year-old military occupation of the West Bank is a massive violation of the human rights of over three million Arabs who live there, what is "supposed" about that? It's also a repeated violation of long-standing UN resolutions, which you seem to be upset about (when others violate them.) The bombing of Beirut, that was petty?
Secret prisons and torture chambers, Abu Ghraib, Falluja, the invasion of Iraq, the occupation of Iraq, the needless deaths of 40,000 Iraqi civilians, they're supposed to pass un-noticed in the UN while they endlessly occupy themselves with who beheaded Daniel Pearl?
<<while behadings and burning alive by islamic terrorists and rogue regimes get a virtual pass from criticism,>>
Yeah. Right. NOBODY, not the U.S., not Israel, not Great Britain or France or Italy, EVER denounced "terrorism" in the UN. They're ruled out of order as soon as they raise the subject. Terrorism is a forbidden subject in the proceedings of the United Nations. Never been MENTIONED there, let alone criticized. And you're from WHAT planet, again?
<<folks like Syria & Lybia (or was it Sudan) given prominent positions on the UN Human Rights board, while Isreal is kept off,>>
Well, WHICH of those countries (Syria, Libya, Sudan) has been massively violating the human rights of THREE MILLION PEOPLE for THIRTY-NINE YEARS as Israel has? It would be absolutely outrageous for Israel, which is in flagrant continuous violation of specific UN resolutions regarding the West Bank and its 3 million inhabitants, to be given a seat on the Human Rights Commission.
<<the continued placating of Arab nations to demands regarding the Israeli flag, garbage like that,>>
Sorry, you got me there - - what demands?
<<Chavez and his garbage was just more of the same>>
I'm still waiting for one negative response from real people in the real world. One person who was not delighted by what Chavez said.
