United Nations makes demands of Israel and remains useless

Topics: United Nations Incompetence

The United Nations is 'demanding' that Israel transfer tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority.  Demanding mind you.  "The United Nations Economic and Social Council overwhelmingly voted Thursday to demand ... "

American diplomat Terry Miller criticized the resolution for failing " to address the fundamental causes of those hardships [in the PA], including the actions of the Hamas-led leadership."

Israel's ambassador to international organizations in Geneva, Yitzchak Levanon told the Associated Press, "The sole purpose is just to discredit Israel. It is not equitable and balanced."  source

Let's review the situation.  Didn't the Palestinians get what they voted for?  They gave Hamas 74 seats in parliment out of the total 132 seats.  As a result of electing Hamas, a terrorist organization, America, Europe, Canada refused to continue sending money to their government, until Hamas renounced the violence against Israel and acknowledged the State of Israel's right to exist.  That hasn't happend yet.

In fact, the 35 articles in Hamas' charter are based on resistance against Israel.  It would be a little tough to scrap their entire charter I guess.  They rationalize this way:

... a thorough reading [of the charter] makes clear, that it is a reference to the Israeli Zionist regime and the Israeli occupation, not to the Jews as an ethnic-religious group.   Also in Hamas bulletins, the word ''Jews'' is not used. Rather, the words ''Zionistic enemy'' or the ''Zionist entity'' are usually used.  source

Ah, a rose by any other name, ...  Well you get the idea.  That explanation doesn't hold water.  Let's not forget the argument for Hamas, they are a "social-charitable" organization.  Isn't that what is being said about Hezbollah in Lebanon today?

Didn't Lebanon get what they voted for?  They did vote for Hezbollah, who hold offices in the parliment, just like Hamas.
