Another ignominious veto


John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador at the UN, is on the way out. With a Democrat majority in Congress there is no way he is going to get confirmed once his recess appointment expires at the end of the year. Even some Republicans now admit he is the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But before leaving the Security Council with his tail between his legs, he had to raise his dirty hand again to veto a UN resolution condemning the massacre of 19 Palestinians at Beit Hanoun by the Israeli Zionists.

According to Bolton the resolution was “unbalanced and politically motivated”. What about the resolution condemning North Korea’s nuclear test? Wasn’t it also “unbalanced and politically motivated”?

Following the September 11 attacks, Bush said he would make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them. The Palestinians are equally entitled to make no distinction between the Zionists murdering their women and children and the U.S. backing them all the way.

The U.S. gave the green light to the Zionists to perpetrate more massacres. Can anyone blame the Palestinians if they plan to hit American targets? By its despicable foreign policy the U.S. is raising and nurturing what it prefers to call ‘terrorists’ every day, every hour, every minute.
