(25,699 posts)What these other offenders' resolutions lack in volume tends to be made up for in terms of impact. Israel gets lots of non-binding, watery resolutions that the US tends to swat out of the air anyway. Libya? Crippling sanctions. Serbia? military intervention. Iraq? Good lord man. Iran? Getting awfully pinched, aren't they? North Korea is treated like a dog that just rolled in its own poo and wants very badly to hump your leg. And the many nations in Africa...
...Well... My feeling is that for all your pants-shitting over how awful the organization is to Israel, the fact that its approach to issues in Africa is "have some dudes in blue helmets hand out cups of rice and smile for the camera" points to a much larger and frankly vastly more important problem. Ever think that the position you take is actually the inverse of what's going on, maybe Israel / Palestine gets more attention than, say, Rwanda's invasion of DR-Congo, not because the UN is "out to get" poow widdle Iswael, but rather because the nations of the UN don't give a fuck about sub-Saharan Africa?
And that's not apartheid. Or bigotry. is Israel as desperate to be more involved with the organization is hates so much? Is this like how it cares so much about Tibet that it helps arm china?
