>From the Palestine Media Watch on the hypocrisy of the UN regarding Iraq and
Israel. It is amazing how many more resolutions Israel has not implemented
compared with Iraq and yet Israel is the "great country" of the Middle East.

PMWATCH -- September 17, 2002 -- Are you tired of straight-faced expressions
of outrage and indignation over Iraqi violations of UN resolutions,
trampeling on the human rights of civilians, aggression against neighbor
states -- all without mention of the one state that stands accused and
convicted of each of thoses violations on a much more massive scale, Israel?
Don't let the media play this bit of double-talk straight: point to the big
white elephant in the room and let them know that this kind of mindless
propaganda is not working, at least not on you.
For a list of UN resolutions against Israel and Iraq, see below.
