The REAL Totalitarian Regime: UN

In the wake of Iran's calculated saber-rattling we see, rightfully, that Israel calls for Iran's expulsion from the UN. Even the EU Condemns Iran's President for Threat to Israel. But at the UN, what does Kofi say?

'The secretary general has read with dismay the remarks about Israel attributed to Mr Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,' a statement released by his spokesman said.

Annan reminded all member states that Israel is a long-standing United Nations member 'with the same rights and obligations as every other member.'

'He recalls in particular that, under the United Nations Charter, all members have undertaken to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state,' the statement said.

Noting that he had already planned to visit Iran in the next few weeks to discuss other issues, Annan said he now intended 'to place the Middle East peace process, and the right of all states in the area to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force, at the top of his agenda for that visit.'


[emphasis mine]

Well then, we all feel better now don't we? Now that SGOTUN has expressed his "feelings" about the rights of "all states in the area" and the "obligations" of Israel, the UN can continue business as usual - extortion against Israel, all the traffic will bear.
