Unlike The UK and Iran, all the rest have totally secular governments.

Two can play at that game. My statement above is naive but technically true. A bit like your counting votes based on the majority religion of the inhabitants.

Means fuck all either way.

The UN is The UN. Creaky but holding together and every country with a vote gets to vote. If The UN censures a country for attacking beyond its borders, segregating its population on cultural grounds and denying decent water supply to its neighbours, then noting its actions is what UN does.

Impotently until US politicians stop being bank rolled by Israeli interests, but The USA still thinks it has a world veto rather than a moral deficit.

Israel needs to be made safe. Guaranteeing that safety should be an international effort, not relying on the militaristic fools running the country and winding up its neighbours whilst playing the holocaust card. It is rather repugnant. Their "I thought he was going to hit me so I hit him back first" excuse merely leads to the most awful repression of the people of Palestine. Any wonder they hit back? Been there? I fucking well have. Many times and with humanitarian NGOs sorting out the problems Israel and The USA perpetuate.

My good friend Musket has been to Israel many times and notes how opinions are not so clear cut either. Repression using religion as an excuse. Where do we hear that I wonder?

A bit of a dog's dinner.
