UN demands Israel scrap barrier vote was passed with 150 in favour, 6 opposed

<< < (3/6) > >>

Don Rizzle:
israel is further angered at europe

 
--- Quote ---All 25 EU countries backed the resolution after persuading the Palestinians and their supporters to modify its wording to condemn terrorism and call for both sides to meet their obligations under the roadmap to peace.

But the result prompted Israel to summon the Dutch, British and EU ambassadors.

"Israel is particularly disappointed with the European position, the readiness of the European Union to toe the same line as the Palestinians...even at the price of compromising on the basic principles of justice and morality," a Foreign Ministry statement said.

Israel's UN ambassador Dan Gillerman singled out France, which he said had behaved in a "disgraceful fashion" by convincing other European countries to adopt the resolution.

Low impact

European countries defended the vote.

UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says that Israel must act in accordance with international law and that the construction of a barrier on occupied territory is unlawful.

The EU is part of the quartet of Middle East peace mediators, along with Russia, the United States, and the UN. Russia also voted for the resolution.

whats the point of having mediators of peace when you won't follow what they recomend and then choose only to work with the country which has protected israel from international critisim/sanction since its creation. no one would have a problem if the barrier wasn't built on occupied territory, which just proves israel is not interested in lasting peace or giving up stolen land.

Israel has the right to do what they want without the U.N bitching about it.  They have the right to put up a border to protect themselves.

Maybe not, but 150-6!  That's pretty remarkable.  Especially considering the United States economic leverage to punish any Nation that embarrases them.

It is a very interesting situation. Too bad Americans will eventually suffer the consequences from it's arrogance.
