So now wanting to point out that the Palestinians may not be as pure as the driven snow by firing rockets into Israel is considered unalloyed support for Israel and not agreeing to the exclusion of the language is being even handed.

You've broken the code, John.

Is it any wonder that we are seeing such steep decline of the media when they print such drivel, even when they couch it in terms of unnamed long-time observers.

The problem is, so many work on that level, even those not in the press. A goodly number of them are in the upcoming misadministration.

The vote before the Geneva-based body shows the Stephen Harper government has abandoned a more even-handed approach to the Middle East in favour of unalloyed support of Israel, according to some long-time observers.

Marius Grinius, Canada’s representative on the council, said the language of the motion, which accused Israel of sparking a humanitarian crisis, was “unnecessary, unhelpful and inflammatory.”

Israel, a couple of years ago, could have completely annihilated the the threat from southern Lebanon if they would have ignored the fact that most of the cowardly offensive was coming at them from residential enclaves. They chose to try and minimize innocent civilian(?) death by not destroying the neighborhoods that these attacks originated.

Reminds me of Golda Mier's quote from the sixties or seventies.
"If the Palestine Mothers loved their own children as much as they hated the Jews, we might find some peace."

Could not find the exact quote, that's a paraphrase.

Think about these families and parents who have sacrificed their freedom, their liberty, their time, their economic well-being to have their sons and their daughters, to go blow up children and innocent people in pizza palors, on buses, and in schools in the name of a thirteenth century believe.

Just something to think about, the vultures fly off from a warm, secure nest.

No easy answers here.

This is another confirmation that the United Nations Human Rights Council has become absurd.

Say, rather, the UN as a whole.
