« Solidarity With Syria? Only In Israel | Main | US Pressures Israel on Arms Deals » They Can't Condemn Terror
By Micah Halpern
Friday December 9, 2005 I've Been Thinking: The United Nations Security Council has not issued a statement condemning the recent terror bombing in Netanya, Israel. You see, the Security Council requires unanimous agreement before issuing a statement. Unanimous. Every single nation. The US was livid. Ambassador John Bolton was almost out of control. He wanted to lay blame in the lap of Syria and Islamic Jihad. Bolton wanted to know what purpose there was in defending Islamic Jihad. After all, hadn't they already proudly claimed responsibility for the attack? But Algeria wanted the Security Council statement to mention that Israel had killed a Palestinian child earlier in the week in the Palestinian city Jenin. This is the crux of the problem we face when universally defining terror. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
