A UN First! Both Israel and Palestine Co-Sponsor Resolution Condemning Libya Violence

A UN First! Both Israel and Palestine Co-Sponsor Resolution Condemning Libya Violence

Leave it to Muammar Qaddafi to bring together the Israelis and Palestinians at the United Nations.

I have just obtained the copy of a draft resolution from the Human Rights Council that strongly condemns the violence in Libya. The resolution is as strongly worded as they come. But what is more significant than the substance of the resolution is the broad support that it has attracted by a diverse set of members.

1. I guess violence against civilians is only ok if Israel does it.

Hypocritical of Israel to condemn behavior that mirrors their own.

2. Worse violence and discrimination laws exist vs. Palestinians under every Arab regime.

As to violence against civilians...

�I think � I would say that from my knowledge of the IDF and from the extent to which I have been following the current operation, I don’t think there has ever been a time in the history of warfare when any army has made more efforts to reduce civilian casualties and deaths of innocent people than the IDF is doing today in Gaza."

Richard Kemp, Former Commander of British forces in Afghanistan

Even Hamas has tremendous faith in the morality of Israeli troops:
