Sabotage at the UN

The mess we have in Israel and Palestine is a perfect example of why the UN is unable to be a driving force in the world. Although nearly every country in the world belongs to this organization and should have the teeth and power to deal with situations like this one they cannot. Great powers like Russia, USA, Britain, France, China and others play outside of the rules, If the decisions taken up at the UN do not serve their national interest they go on their own.

This week the President of the USA spoke in a manner that would cause a cease fire. That public statement was backed up by supplying Israel with4.3 tons of rocket engines and earlier delivered rocket launchers, guided missiles and artillery. In addition the USA approved another $225,000,000 for Israel's Iron Dome system against Hamas rockets. Incidentally there was no mention for protective devices for the Palestine military against the Israel artillery and guided missiles and air attacks.
Our Prime Minister feels all is OK and he would do the same thing. Hamas talks of destroying Israel and killing Jews but it is Israel that has destroyed Palestine for the second time in six years and killed some 2,000 Palestinian and wounded some 8400 and most of these were civilians. The basic problem is that Israel is occupying Palestinian lands for 47 years subjecting the people to inhumane and cruel punishment.

How can we have a world peace organization with conditions such as we observe in that region. Why does Israel have such a hold on our world leaders? Canada has always been a fair and balanced nation but our leadership has become the same as third world countries and quite frankly it is a total embarrassment.
