| Israel Pt.2 - If only Americans Knew NOTE: Some of the documents I have researched, located & linked on this & other videos are quite rare & hard to find. I spend 5-8 hours a day researching declassified CIA & State Dept. records & UN documents. If you would like constant updates & links to the type of information a truly free society would neither fear nor suppress, please subscribe. ********************** America has (alone or with Israel) voted against over 200 UNGA resolutions condemning Israeli actions & policies &/or affirming the rights of Palestinians. ********************** America has VETOED 39 UN Security Council Resolutions to sheild Israel from Criticism. Including resolutions condemning Israel's attacks against Southern Lebanon and Syria in '72, demanding Israel's withdrawal from the Golan Heights, condemning Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, urging sanctions against Israel if it did not withdraw from its invasion of Lebanon in '82 & asserting the inalienable rights of Palestinians. For a list of ALL vetoes cast for Security Council Resolutions search for: A/58/47(SUPP) On the UN Website; http://documents.un.org/ The corrigendum: A/58/47/CORR.1 is also worth checking out. Just to see the correction: "The title of part 1 of annex III should read Draft resolutions not adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member" (It's interesting to note that before the mid 70's the USSR was by far the greatest abuser of the UN Veto (usually to block new members joining the UN). Since early 1970 the United States has taken the lead, with the UK in second place! *Note: Sorry, I've tried linking to documents on the UN websites & it doesn't always work.* ********************** For a more detailed account on US vetoes shielding Israel from criticism, check out the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs Website: http://www.wrmea.com/archives/May-June_2005/0505014.html ********************** On 10th Nov 1975, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 3379, which determined that; "Zionism is a form of racism & racial discrimination." http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/a06f2943c226015c85256c40005d359c/761c1063530766a7052566a2005b74d1!OpenDocument or for the full resolution search for: A/RES/3379(XXX) On the UN document archive site; http://unbisnet.un.org/ The resolution was annulled by Res 46/86 on December 16, 1991 after pressure from America according to Phyllis Bennis, Director of The New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, a Middle East & UN specialist, formerly based at the United Nations.
