"Israel is not
abiding by Friday's resolution"
Oh, my, what a surprise.
But anyone with a scrap of history knows that Israel has
never complied with UN Resolutions. There are dozens of them from the past in
which Israel stands in contempt.
And, as if by magic, it never pays any penalty for doing so.
As we know, violation of UN Resolutions has been used as a justification by the
United States when it wants to attack someone.
Israel also has never complied with the norms and protocols
and agreements of many international institutions, any of them with which it
did not choose to comply, again paying no penalty.
Not the Red Cross. Not the Geneva Conventions. Not
regulations on atomic weapons. Not diplomatic norms and courtesies. Etc, etc, -
it is a very long list.
This set of historical facts is what defines Israel, quite
literally and with no exaggerated rhetoric, as a rogue state.
Nevertheless, the recent, totally-appropriate Resolution on settlements
clearly stung this horrible man, Netanyahu, who likes to steal and kill,
pausing occasionally to make speeches about peace and law and democracy.
