Sometimes I wonder why we even have a .

They were formed after WW2 to look after all of us. Everyone on the planet. The big five, US, Russia, UK, France, China, all were supposed to act in our favour whether we came from Ghana, Uruguay, or the Dominican Republic.

But today the US abstained from the vote re: Gaza Truce. It doesn’t stop it of course, since they abstained rather than vetoed. But does anyone remember a time when the US acted in the Palestinian’s favour? Have they, ever?

I suppose it’s just coincidental that the US supplies weapons to Israel?

After seeing the images on the TV, the shelling, the planes overhead, and hearing how many have died on the Palestinian side, I have to ask – is Israel really threatened that much that they must completely destroy the Palestinian’s government and kill so many people?

It does seem very one-sided, rather like, say, the Nazis attacking Holland. One or two rockets thrown over from Gaza doesn’t balance the books in terms of military threat, or of people killed (4 Israelis killed, 385 Palestinians as of Dec. 31st). And, no signs of any halt yet.

What is it with the Americans? Why do they think that they can create a Palestinian state?

How many times has it been tried so far? How many times will this effort fail dismally?

Or should I really state what the aim is here, to give President Bush some kudos before he leaves office to make it look like he really has some credit in diplomatic terms (because let’s be honest – up until this point he has had piss poor results with anything ‘diplomatic’).

As happy and as smiling as the Palestinian and the Israeli leaders were, I imagine they were both thinking of the destruction of the others’ state.
