« Chemical Weapons in Gaza | Main | THE IRANIAN / SYRIAN PRISM » UN Cease Fire
By Micah Halpern
Monday January 12, 2009 I've Been Thinking: Much has been said about the UN Security Council's resolution for a cease fire in Gaza. The vote for the cease fire was 14 - 0. Why did the United States abstain? The resolution is deeply flawed. Here's what it does say: Article 8. calls for renewed and urgent efforts by the parties and the international community to achieve a comprehensive peace based on the vision of a region where two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace with secure and recognized borders, as envisaged in Security Council resolution 1850 (2008), and recalls also the importance of the Arab Peace Initiative; Folding the Palestinian/Israel peace process into the Hamas conflict with Israel legitimizes Hamas, it de facto takes Hamas to a whole new level. The Israeli operation is not about peace with the Palestinians, it is about a terror group in Gaza shooting rockets at Israel. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy.
