"A UN human rights envoy has compared Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories to elements of apartheid.

The UN's Special Rapporteur, John Dugard, describes the regime as being designed to dominate and systematically oppress the occupied population"

A bit of "fish known to inhabit sea" however, it helps get the message across....

They talk big, but does anyone of them actually have the friggin' balls to stand up to this British-created abomination that has created years of conflict and unrest in the Middle East? Yes, I'm blaming the British. They created Israel, they armed the Jews (Israelis) and gave them permission in various conflicts before 1948 to inflict harm on Arab civilians (who had their own fighters who were far from innocent).

If the UN had real balls, it'd overrule the veto power of Britain and the US and send in a force that would serve as a barrier between the Israelis and Palestinians group, with the full right to use force if either side so much as looked sideways at its rival, and while you're at it, give the 'peace force' in Lebanon some teeth so it can keep Israel from being a total jackass and flying planes over the country while empowering the Lebanese military so it can take care of Hezbollah. (And if the Israelis really wanted to see the end of Hezbollah, fund Lebanese government initiatives to hit Hezbollah hard and where it really hurts).

Until the UN grows balls, this is nothing more than fucking hot air.
