UNITED NATIONS - Arab nations will oppose an
Israeli resolution condemning Palestinian attacks
on Israeli children that is awaiting a vote this
week in a UN General Assembly committee, a
Palestinian diplomat said on Monday.

Are these Arab representitives so morally bankrupt
that there is no place in their hearts to condemn those who would murder children? And then in the same breath come to me and ask me to support them? Not in my lifetime.

1. Why the surprise?

Israel just voted against a motion to protect Palestinian children last week, along with the US, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands. Everyone else in the world either abstained or voted for it.

2. Palestinian/Israeli UN resolutions always bring the best out

in the whore politicos. Gebbuz. Shouldn't they pass resolutions decrying out against violence agaisnt *ALL* children?

4. That would be much more appropriate, imo.
