[R-G] ONE SET OF RULES FOR IRAQ, ANOTHER FOR ISRAEL

[Nicholas Morcinek]

HENRY PORTER, OBSERVER, UK - In the past 30 years, America has vetoed 34
resolutions that criticize Israel and seek to restrain its behavior.
These failed most recently in a demand for the restoration of land
seized from the Palestinians and a cessation of construction in East
Jerusalem and the West Bank. Even in the relatively minor case from
November 1990, when the UN wanted to send three Security Council members
to Rishon Lezion, where an Israeli gunman had shot seven Palestinian
workers, the US vetoed the wishes of the other 14 countries on the
council.
