* Israel's refusal to comply


                                                 UN Security Council
Because of the emotional ties to religion, many Americans have a difficult time questioning ANY action by Israel. Those who do question, are immediately called "Anti-Semitic," supposedly a frightening word that should make a person want to curl up with fear and expect the wrath of God to strike him dead. But the world community does not have this problem. They are anxiously waiting to see how President Obama reacts to the UN war crimes resolution over Israeli war crimes. Word is out that U.S. officials have already indicated that they will vote against it..(not a surprise here).  Israel has threaten to quit the peace talks if that resolution passes..(not a surprise here). 


Israel has already thumbed it's nose at this Administration, the UN and the IAEA request for Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused (no surprise here). Israel thumbed it's nose at the President's request to quit building illegal settlements in the West Bank..(no surprise here).


All throughout the years, Israel has thumbed it's nose at MANY UN resolutions against it's actions. The UN Security Council has passed as many as 131 resolutions addressing the Arab-Israel conflict. Israel refuses to comply to ANY of them. But...look at what happened to Iraq's Saddam Hussein when he didn't comply with just ONE resolution. 


The world community perceives the US has having contempt for the UN and it's resolutions. The world community now perceives the US as having less clout and should have less say concerning world's problems. The world community perceives the US has having a one-sided view point when it comes to the Israel/Palestine problem.
