Israel, Yassin, and the UN.

The UN is comprised primarily of nations that attained their size and power primarily through tools like assassination, torture and conquest over hundreds of years. Then they all get together and come up with the Geneva convention that says the tools they used to get big and powerful are no longer in play.
Handing Israel the Marquis of Queensbury rules when they've been getting their nuts kicked in a barfight for decades is completely unacceptable. It stinks of the rankest anti-semitism for them to say that its OK for the palestinians to blow up your civilians, but we're going to condemn you everytime you do something about it.
And that is precisely what the UN resolution does by not bothering to mention the fact that this wheelchair bound quadruplegic with the beatific smile engineered the death and injuries of thousands of Israelis and Arabs. Even the blood of the suicide bombers he radicalized is on his hands.
The same is also true of Rantisi, whose definition of the "occupied territories" just happens to include everything inside the Green Line, and has had a long standing agenda to eradicate every Jew in the region.
If the UN is going to condemn Israel every time it goes after the killers of its people, I am left wondering: were they giving the Jewish People a state, or a Jumbo-Sized Concentration Camp when they created it?
