72. Go to the UN page and check the facts Shira
There have been 13 special sessions - not 10. Yes- Israel is called out on six occasions.

13th session - focused on Haiti
12th session - occupied Palistine and East Jerusalem
11th session - focused on Sri Lanka
10th session - focused on the global and economic crisis
9th session - occupied Palistine and Gaza
8th session - focused on Congo
7th session - focused on food crisis and food prices
6th session - palistine and israeli military incursions
5th session - focused on Myanmar
4th session - focused on Darfur
3rd session - Israeli military incursions into palistinian territory
2nd session - focused on Lebanon
1st session - palistine


Is that still one sided? Yeah - BUT - it isn't 80 percent and it is not 6 out of 10 - it is 6 out of 13. And of the 59 reports submitted during the 15th session - 2 were focused on the Israeli/palistinian situation. That is not 80 percent either. Dropping 3 special sessions makes it sound better for the point the author wishes to make - but is not entirely forthcoming. I thought perhaps the author missed the last 13 - in case the article was written some time ago - but in order for there to be 6 special sessions - he would of had to have included session 12. And if he started counting at session 4 - then he would of dropped the first three special sessions that did involve Israel.....
