“The bombing”, of course, refers to today’s murders in Tel Aviv.
Hmmm. Israel has no right to ask that an investigating team be free of preconceptions and fully qualified to investigate all sides of said events, and Israel is to be condemned for defending itself (in means more selective and riskier than the bombing methods preferred by the US, for example), but condemning suicide attacks by Arabs is not allowed. The Arab envoys can turn that down.
The UN seems pretty even handed to me. Israel should be condemned for basically going into towns to simply tear down buildings and humiliate Palestinians. They should be condemned for blocking any international group from going into Jenin (including reporters for the while).
And no, there isn’t a problem with a new Resolution condemning the bombing being circulated.
As the vote shows, though, most of the nations in the world (there aren’t 74 Arab nations in the world, btw) see Israel’s actions against the Palestinians to be reprehensible. Especially 3rd World states, seeing as it totally reminds them of their colonized past.
Have you properly researched this topic? You see, what you are basically saying is that all Israel is doing is running around, randomly bulldozing buildings with the only motivation being the humiliation of the Palestinian people. This is a serious accusation, and I would like to see your basis. Second, the fact-finding mission was not completely impartial. Please provide cites (oh, and if you want to read the argument here about Jenin copy and paste this: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=112178&highlight=jenin
.)
That number 74 includes a bunch of non-Arab muslim nations, who tend to vote with their co-religionists. I haven’t quite seen the roll call on that vote, but I’d be surprised if a large number of the nations on question are non-Muslim. (The Arab League accounts for 22 votes, just for the record)
