UN Sanctions Report - No mention of Israel

As for all those "resolutions" if you read through them they are totally ridiculous and none of them paint the UN as an International organisation in a very good light

Of the 21 referring to Israel in 2013 two are actually targeted at those countries that are non-signatories of the Nuclear NPT - so not specifically an anti-Israeli resolution.

The remainder witter on about the integrity of the borders of Palestinian land which of course is a nonsense - Nowhere have I seen any agreement as to what actually constitutes the borders of this Palestinian land that the Palestinians agree to. Nowhere is the sovereign right of the State of Israel or the integrity of its borders mentioned - rather hypocritical that don't you think.

The right of Palestinians to live free from attack and the threat of attack also features large in these resolutions - pity it doesn't mention their predilection for attacking Israel which seems to be OK as far as the UN is concerned.

Rights of return and compensation is mentioned but apparently the 820,000 Jews dispossessed and forcibly deported from Arab lands where they resided for centuries do not merit any right of return or compensation.

Seems like those Arabs of Palestine firmly believe in one law for the goose and another one entirely for the gander.

Little wonder nobody bothers with these resolutions - they are ridiculous.
