Both you and bluke appear to have correctly noted that - 'world opinion', not to mention the entire set of groups surrounding Israel: have now for decades omitted Israeli participation in the UN, esp. on relevant committees. This while other nations have transgressed similarly (and often enough committing even larger 'crimes' than Isr. is accused of).

Overall then, it appears that the same sort of fucking with language; basic distortion to such a degree that dialogue is rendered impossible - as characterizes every Murican political 'campaign' - is also the World Standard, 2002.

Given this heavily weighted anti-Israel cant and the intransigence of the now intellectual/emotional pipsqueaks at the head of States in 2002 (where did all the Statesmen go ??) -- I can't see how a coming conflagration can be avoided. Anti-Semitism appears to be the last refuge of a regiment of scoundrels, and even Language has had to be corrupted to 'justify' its continuance, create the latest euphemisms to deny that this attitude lies behind the UN discrimination and.. all the others.

[oil] is Always In There. I fear that [oil] shall force next events -- certainly nothing like Integrity shall be employed. 'We' have become whores for cheap energy.. cheap in $ and in short-term expedience: Expensive in self-respect. Devoid of Honor where [oil] and world-control is the prize.



Luck... and damn clever strategy.. to any Honest Brokers left (?) We have no Gandhis anywhere, now.
