Having myself just recently published two articles condemning everyone who blames Israel for the latest war (Corruption in Palestine: A People Deceived by Their Leaders and Israel - Palestine 2006: This War Must not be in Vain by Steven Shamrak), I have just read a most outstanding if not astounding article at TCS Daily (UN Praises Israel for Restraint: By William S. Smith) which finally announces some sanity in the world.
- NEW YORK (SATIRENEWSSERVICE) -- Yesterday, the General Assembly of the United Nations voted 190 to 4 with one abstention in favor of an Egyptian and Jordanian sponsored resolution that commends Israel's "disproportionately restrained responses in opposing decades of terror, deadly provocation and military assaults." The resolution also condemns Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran for committing mass-murder against Jews and large-scale felony-murder against Arabs.
- Abbas continued: "All of our acts have been counterproductive and have led to the current disaster. If we had used our energy these past four decades to create prosperity, we would be as rich as Singapore. Instead, terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah bring us death and destruction by causing naive Arab civilians to bear the brunt of their -- and our -- hatefulness."
It's not really that surprising however, as by all recent accounts, many Palestinians and other Arabs have begun to raise their voices in dissent over the financial and other corruption that they see around them, in countries allegedly fighting for the betterment of the people.
It has been a long time coming, but good nonetheless to read.
