Junk Yard Dog, You are posting a series questions from anti-Israel quiz sites even to the point of spreading anti-Semitic propaganda suggesting that Israel controls the USA. These statements are nothing more than a mix of new and classic anti-Semitism. I am going to go through each of these questions to debunk some of the myths you are attempting to spread.

New anti-Semitism in the words of the noble Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: "The antisemite rejoices at any opportunity to vent his malice. The times have made it unpopular, in the West, to proclaim openly a hatred of the Jews. This being the case, the antisemite must constantly seek new forms and forums for his poison. How he must revel in the new masquerade! He does not hate the Jews, he is just 'anti-Zionist'!" ". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth." # http://tinyurl.com/276m6 New anti-Semitism: # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_antisemitism ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Question: Which country in the Middle East is in defiance of 69 United Nations Security Council resolutions and has been protected from 29 more by U.S. vetoes? There are two types of UN resolution, some are recommendations, some are orders. Israel has no obligation to abide by recommendations from the UN. Likewise if a resolution has been vetoed then it does not stand and the resolution is not being violated. # http://palestinefacts.org/pf_faq_palestine_un_resolutions.php The UN is a corrupt body, Sudan sits in the human rights council and yet their are currently committing genocide. Do you think that is a credible organization? # http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/UN/israel_un.html The above is all you really need, but if you want more to chew on: Iraqi Foreign Minister, Taraq Aziz, protested that sanctions were imposed upon Iraq for non-compliance yet no sanctions were ever imposed upon Israel for its non-compliance to previous U.N. resolutions. Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Shara added his objection that Iraq was expected to comply with U.N. resolutions but that Israel held itself above the law. Several days later, the Arab League representative to the United Nations added his indignity that Israel, but not Iraq, can ignore U.N. Resolutions and get away with it. To understand fully the fallacious comparison between Iraqi and Israeli "non-compliances" with "U.N. Resolutions," one must understand the different legal weights that U.N. Resolutions carry. First of all, there is a tangible distinction between (1) General Assembly resolutions and (2) Security Council resolutions. (1) General Assembly resolutions have political (perhaps even moral, to some) authority... but they are all non-binding. Most of those aimed at Israel are also patently ridiculous. For example: * General Assembly Resolution 250 "calls on Israel to refrain from holding military parade in Jerusalem." * General Assembly Resolution 251 "deeply deplores Israeli military parade in Jerusalem in defiance of Resolution 250." * General Assembly Resolution 252 "declares invalid Israel's acts to unify Jerusalem as her capital" * General Assembly Resolution 271 "condemns' Israel's failure to obey UN resolutions on Jerusalem" * General Assembly Resolution 476 "reiterates' that Israel's claims to Jerusalem are null and void" When one considers that the majority of U.N. member states are Arab nations (22) or Islamic nations (52) or dictatorial, anti-democratic nations or nations in desperate need of Arab oil or nations desperate for business investment opportunities within Arab countries or countries fearful of discontent among their growing Arab/Muslim populations, it's no wonder why so many anti-Israel General Assembly resolutions get introduced AND passed. In fact, of over 700 General Assembly resolutions passed since the UN's 1945 establishment, nearly 450 condemn Israel. None have been passed against any Arab country nor any Arab terrorist organizations. In other words, out of 190 nations in the United Nations, over sixty percent of all General Assembly resolutions condemned just ONE member, Israel. When some of these nations tell Israel to comply with transparently biased AND non-binding resolutions, Israel simply tells them to "shove it." (2) The Security Council is the United Nations' most powerful body. It has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Five powerful countries sit as "permanent members" along with ten other member states, elected for two-year terms. It has the authority to dispatch military operations, imposes economic sanctions, mandates arms inspections, deploys human rights and election monitors and more. This, however, is not to say that the Security Council is all that much better than its General Assembly counterpart when it comes to issue related to the Arab/"Palestinian"-Israeli dispute. In its entire existence, the Security Council has passed only 131 resolutions. Of those, 88 criticized or opposed Israel. Not one deplored or even contained a breath of criticism against Arab countries in general or those in particular which initiated wars or terrorism against Israel. Not all Security Council resolutions are created equal. The UN distinguishes between two sorts of Security Council resolution. Those passed under Chapter Six deal with the peaceful resolution of disputes and entitle the council to make non-binding recommendations. Such is the case, for instance, of UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, adopted in 1967 and 1973 respectively, which call for an Israeli withdrawal from disputed territories (not from ALL disputed territories) in the framework of a negotiated comprehensive peace settlement. In contrast to those adopted under Chapter Six, resolutions adopted under Chapter Seven of the U.N. Charter, entitled ''Action With Respect to Threats to Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression,'' can be enforced by third parties. Moreover, the United Nations can authorize under Article 42 of its Charter Seven the use of military force if a Chapter Seven resolution is violated. Chapter Seven violations are of a much more serious nature in that they give the council broad powers to take action, including warlike action, to deal with "threats to the peace, breaches of the peace, or acts of aggression." They were used against Iraq after its invasion of Kuwait. However, NONE of the resolutions relating to the Israeli-Arab conflict comes under Chapter Seven. Therefore that claim of equivalency between Iraqi and Israeli failure to abide by U.N. resolutions falls flat on its head. Iraq is thumbing its nose at a legal and binding Security Council Resolution. By the 1970s, UN's original 55 membership had swollen to more than 150. Many of these member nations were newly created from lands which never experienced anything remotely resembling freedom or democratization. In reality, these member states were nothing more than corrupt third world dictatorships. What many of these member states lacked in humanity and civilization, they more than made up for it with their oil wealth blackmail power. Just when we all thought the UN couldn't sink its credibility any lower, the majority of its members in January 1972 elected for a five year term as Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, a former Austrian Nazi! This is all the more amazing since the UN was created by those who fought the Nazis during WWII and one of the first items on its agenda in 1945 was what to do with all the Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust! Not surprisingly, Herr Waldheim showed no particular compassion for the Jews of Israel either. In 1975 at the instigation of the Arab states and the Soviet Bloc, the General Assembly approved Resolution 3379 which slandered Zionism by branding it a "form of racism."
