| Arabs to UN: Act on Israeli Barrier |
| 2004-07-11 |
| BBC - EFL UN told to act on Israeli barrier Saturday, 10 July, 2004, 17:49 GMT 18:49 UK Arab nations have called on the UN to take action to ensure Israel's West Bank barrier is torn down. The UN General Assembly is likely to meet next week to debate the world court's ruling that the barrier is illegal and should be dismantled. Israel has said it will ignore the non-binding ruling and is counting on the US to block any action by the UN. Israel insists the barrier is needed to prevent suicide bombings. Palestinians consider it a land grab. More deep UN morality at work. |

| #14 CrazyFool---I can feel your pain! This ANWR thing drives me nuts. The Republicans need to take the Dems position on anti-Anwar and turn it into an albatross hanging on the Dems' necks. I was working in communities along the Trans Alaska Pipeline last week, and as I was flying by the line, I could not help thinking that ANWR oil should be flowing down there right now. There is no reason that it should not be so. |

| #12 AP, Getting rid of our dependance on ME oil could be much easier if we were permitted to drill in the USA (Alaska, etc....). Instead we have these insane environmental policies which are strangling us. Extinction is a natural process.... |

| #10 Yank, I have felt the same way, from a young person with the idealist view of the UN. Now I think that they are lowest of the low. We need bilateral agreements on critical matters of international importance. Then we need to dry up the UN funding and they will die in a month. End of story. We need to quit funding our destruction. This includes ME oil and this includes the UN. ME oil is the tough one. The UN is easy. Congress can make it happen. |

| #9 For the longest time I've felt there is a place for the UN, just not in the political spectrum. Since Sept 11 the UN has been trying to convince me they have no place in the world at all. I think this little story will be the death knell for the UN as far as my support is concerned. |

| #8 The UN could put pressure on the Olympic Org and not let Israel march in the opening ceremonies. They could be very aggressive with the red card during the futbol tourney. The could even refuse to allow them security. Thats it! Refuse to allow them security. Olympic glory, could there ever be anything to compare? |

| #6 Because, 5889, other than oil the Arabs don't make anything that we want to buy. Remember, if you exclude oil the 22 Arab states have a combined GDP lower than that of Finland. And we all know what an economic juggernaut Finland is. |

| #5 Why does not the US boycott all Arab’s goods? Slamming sanctions on them will surely teach them a lesson on how to respect the west and its friends. |

#3 Arabs to UN: Act on Israeli BarrierI've got a better idea.: Israel (and the US) to the Arabs and the UN: Fuck you. And the camels you rode in on. |
