The UN can do nothing, but still the gesture is clear - the world does not approve what Israel does. I think that their policy prves that Nietsche was right - you fight the beast too hard and you become the beast...

If you're not a Zionist, then you're anti-Semitic. One or the other. That's how it works!
Imagine if the U.S. military fired upon illegal immigrants entering the U.S. from Mexico... even those suspected of importing poison (drugs) that help destroy American society.
A fisherman has been shot and killed by the Israeli navy off the northern coast of the Gaza Strip, doctors in the territory say.
Israeli officials say the boat had strayed beyond the limit to which Palestinians are allowed to fish under the Israeli blockade.
From the same piece:
...last week Israel admitted it had wrongly shot and killed three civilians, including a 91-year-old man."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

I have a good raging rant against neoconnery saved up, but I don't have time right now. I'll have to remember to blast the new world order neocons later."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

The man known as the "godfather of neoconservatism", Irving Kristol, has died from lung cancer at the age of 89.
Mr Kristol rejected the communist beliefs of his youth to become a leading right-wing thinker and writer.
His ideas had a huge influence on the Bush administration and in 2002 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W Bush.
The magazine edited by his son William Kristol, The Weekly Standard, paid tribute to his "wisdom" and "wit".
It added that his "generosity of spirit made him a friend and mentor to several generations of thinkers and public servants".
Trotskyist
Irving Kristol was born in New York's Brooklyn neighbourhood, the son of Jewish immigrants from Ukraine.
In the 1930s he was a Trotskyist but he turned his back on his radical left-wing beliefs in favour of liberalism.
In the 1960s he rejected that after the rise of the New Left. An intellectual pioneer who advanced the conservative movement
Former President George W Bush on Irving Kristol
In the 1970s he completed his move across the political spectrum by joining the Republican Party, which he said had once been as "foreign to me as attending a Catholic Mass".
Writing in 2003, Mr Kristol described neoconservatism as a "persuasion" and underlined that it had its roots among "disillusioned liberal intellectuals in the 1970s".
He also once famously described neoconservatives as liberals "mugged by reality".
Huge influence
The term neoconservatism was created by the socialist writer Michael Harrington in the early 1970s.
Fellow neoconservative founder Norman Podhoretz wrote that "the influence of Irving Kristol's ideas has been one of the most important factors in reshaping the American climate of opinion over the past 40 years".
Mr Kristol was a driving force in a series of think-tanks like the American Enterprise Institute that made conservatism a reigning ideology for at least two decades.
He wrote for many media outlets and penned several books including "Neoconservatism: The Autobiography of an Idea".
Former US President George W Bush, whose administration included several neoconservatives, issued a statement calling him "an intellectual pioneer who advanced the conservative movement".
But the reputation of the group was hit by controversy over the Iraq war in 2003 - which many neocons pushed for - and by the global economic downturn....
