US backing Israel, AGAIN - Update; More info
Then you wander why there is so much resentment towards the US, here is just one reason:
The United States has vetoed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council denouncing Israel's decision to "remove" the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
This just adds to 30 Years Of US UN Vetoes. It sure is a dirty track record. Once again, US has abused its unjust veto power. From overall 77 times that the US has used its veto power, 36 times the vetoes were to block resolutions criticizing Israel.
But, what is new? As usual, Israel has the backing of the States, that is why it doesn't hesitate committing crimes it keeps committing. This veto can be a license to kill or expel Arafat. The US bears the responsibility if Israel takes advantage of this criminal US-Israeli cooperation and the world will not forget it either.
Update; More Info:
Last December, the Americans vetoed a resolution condemning Israel for the killing of UN workers in the occupied territories, saying it was one-sided and did not contribute to peace. This time too, the American ambassador to the UN, John Negroponte, said the draft was lop-sided. He complained that it did not contain explicit condemnation of Palestinian militant groups carrying out suicide attacks, like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. The draft resolution drawn up by the Palestinians and Syrians did call for a halt to all acts of terrorism, provocation, incitement and destruction. And it expressed concern at a recent escalation in suicide bombings as well as in extra-judicial executions.
And who is The American ambassador to the UN .
