And their are numerous United Nations resolutions against Israel for their
invasions and occupation of land in Egypt, Syria and Lebenon and their
occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.
On a side note: the USA still maintains sanctions against Cuba, really for no
good reason other than because the Cold War generation is still ticked off at
Castro for kicking them out of their Havana hideaways.
The United Nations (with USA, Britain and Israel holding the puppet strings)
have maintained crippling sanctions against Iraq for over 10 years. Over
500,000 children have died because the sanctions severely limit or refuse
medication and vaccinations. Supposedly, the sanctions are meant to limit
Saddam Hussein's ability to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, but of
course that's hogwash. The sanctions are the real weapons of mass destruction
since they only strengthen Hussein's death grip on the Iraqi people.
