| UN Security Council puts off resolution... |
| 2002-07-27 |
| The United Nations Security Council put off until Monday its debate over an Arab-backed resolution demanding Israel withdraw from seven Palestinian-ruled cities occupied after a wave of suicide bombings last month. The council delayed the vote after the United States said the resolution must also condemn three Palestinian groups behind a suicide bombing campaign against Israel. The U.S. also said the resolution would need to include a demand for an improvement of the security situation as a precondition for any Israeli withdrawal. Lessee, here: the Israelis occupied the cities because they're crawling with crazed killers belonging to the organizations named, who carry out attacks on Israeli civilians. The reason the groups flourish is because the Paleostinian security forces don't lift a finger to stop them and in some cases jump right in and help with the slaughter. So the Paleostinian response is... Palestinian U.N. observer Nasser al-Kidwa called the U.S. stance an "unreasonable" one that "would not help building a consensus in the council." |
