UN Security Council Resolution on Gaza unanimously accepted by all Council Members
Posted on 01/08/2009 6:26:15 PM PST by bethybabes69
The UN Security Council ceasefire resolution calls amongst other things for;
An immediate, durable and fully respected ceasefire to be respected by Israel and Hamas.
An end to arms trafficking through tunnels from Egypt.
A reopening of crossing points to allow unhindered access for aid to Gaza.
End to Israel bombing of Gaza.
The BBC's Laura Trevelyan at the UN says the difficulties arose soon after the US, Britain and France backed down in the face of Arab criticism that only a resolution, not a statement, would do.
Aggressive Arabs, forgive me if I'm wrong, that's exactly what caused this in the first place, now they're demanding a resolution, not a staement on stopping the retaliation for them being aggressive. Something sounds suspect there!
I expected this from our very own Communist, Milliband, but Condoleezaa Rice, only an abstension? dear oh dear oh dear oh dear . . . I assume she had an option of a veto? Whatever happened to a few days ago, and;
"What's the use of a ceasefire resolution when Hamas wouldn't adhere to it?"
I wonder if Israel did, would Hamas respect this and stop firing rockets???? /sarc - sorry, this is getting too repetetive

Unanimous, typo, the BBC kept quiet that Condoleeza Rice abstained.

Yet another “resolution” from the Useless Nations! Funny stuff. That and four bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

A worthless gesture from a totally worthless organization.
On second thought the U.N. is worse than worthless. It registers below “Zero”.

This is my favorite picture of the UN:

I measure my respect for the UN in MGAS units (milli-give-a-s**ts).
Why not relocate them to the Gaza strip? Let’s see how they tolerate those rockets then.

Israel has time, this is only the first of at least 287 resolutions before they have to acknowledge anything. ;-)

The U.S abstained. Any one who thinks its enforceable is in denial. Its a piece of paper fit to be thrown in the wastebasket. Hamas will not stop shooting at Israel and the war will go on. Israel was cut out of the discussions in New York. Its completely meaningless. Ceasefire shmeasefire.

I agree that the talking shop of the UN is a dreadful waste of money, and is the most underhanded group of Communist powerful wannabees, BUT, you we should all keep an ear open on them.
With your new socialist leader waiting in the wings, the garbage they pass in there will undoubtedly be used against anyone who doesn't fall inline with their plans.

Sadly, I believe that you are correct.

That is an amazing, must-see video. The commentator gets it, and I share his sense of bewilderment, how could anyone support Hamas?
To: bethybabes69; All
Requested by IDF on their Facebook account is the request that we specifically send this video far and wide"Children of Hamas"
