UN adopts resolution on protection for Palestinian children

[Gimel]

By Reuters

UNITED NATIONS - An Egyptian-sponsored resolution
demanding that Israel protect Palestinian children
was adopted by a UN General Assembly panel on
Thursday, while a corresponding measure on Israeli
children was postponed until next week.

Israel, the target of hundreds of critical UN resolutions,
on Tuesday introduced its first assembly draft in more
than a quarter century, mirroring the Egyptian
measure.

But diplomats said chances were slim that of approval

for the bill that would condemn attacks on Israeli children by Palestinian suicide bombers.

The Egyptian draft resolution was passed by a
vote of 88 to 4 but with 58 abstentions.

Another one-sided resolution sponsered by the Arab Block. While the Arab/Moslum nations control the UN, they complain about Jewish influence. It's some hutzpah.

Am I the only person left scratching my head wondering how Arab states supposedly control the UN? Also, I'm as uncomfortable with all this nonsense about Arabs controlling global institutions as I am about nonsense about Jews controlling the world...
