Appportioner - So you're saying the US plays favorites by vetoing or obstaining from resolutions you admit are often antisemetic? Huh? Isn't that just voting responsibly ?

Of 175 Security Councils Resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel and 429 of 690 UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolutions condemned Israel on a wide range of topics. The UN has an anti-Israel bias and the US often obstains from voting rather then use their Seecurity Council veto....and in several important cases has even voted in favor of such resolutions. The US only just recently (July 2002) announced then would veto any such resolutions that didn't make equal mention of terrorist violence against Israel. It should also be mentioned that it took 50 years for Israel to sit on a regional council...they were the only member wihout a position in a regional group..and now they sit as "temporary" members of the Western European group, because they have been barred from the Asian group they rightfully belong in.
