UN for me not for you.....

Is the memory span of the Israeli government and many of its supporters really that short? Wasn't the United Nations, the entity that granted Israel statehood?

I read with increasing anger for the last few months, of the intentions of our wonderful neighbour to the North to join Israel in vetoing any attempts by Palestine to attain statehood via the United Nations.....

Today I saw this article on CNN.

From which I would like to make reference to two quotations.

Avigdor Liberman did not elaborate in his comments on Israel Radio, but said previous Israeli concessions like the withdrawal from Gaza had not resulted in peace.

Are there really a more arrogant set of inhabitants on Earth? Concessions to come out of the people's land? Seriously, are you really that arrogant?

And

"It should not come as a shock to anyone in this room that the U.S. opposes a move in New York by the Palestinians to try to establish a state that can only be achieved through negotiations," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said last week. "So yes, if something comes to a vote in the U.N. Security Council, the U.S. will veto."

Please remind us of the 'negotiations' used circa 1947 to grant Israel statehood....unless by negotiations you don't actually mean negotiations that include at the very minimum both parties involved...

These are the things that make my blood boil....

I am eagerly awaiting to hear what these 'dire consequences' are.....I will for now, say no more.
