Another observation, why two now weak countries like France or UK still get the Veto right ? Why not giving the Veto right to Pakistan, India or now... North Korea ? So... why not giving veto right to all the nations ? My questions seem borderline, but they are not. They are questions that I'd find legitimate if I was an Indian, Brazilian or a South African citizen (as example) |

I agree. France & UK no longer merit a permanent seat with veto rights, because their influence is vastly diminished from 70 years ago. I would like to see them replaced by the EU, a S. American group, and possibly two Asian groups -- preferably one, but it would be hard to get India & Pakistan under one umbrella The difficulty would be in getting France & UK to admit they're not as important as they were a gazillion years ago, and to retire. After all, they could veto it |

Actually, the opposite is true, and you ought to know it. If your land has been illegally attacked and occupied, you have the right under the UN Charter to fight against it What happens if parts of England were occupied, settlements built on it, and you could do nothing because the USA vetos your complaints? You wouldn't have a problem with that? Come on, we weren't born yesterday |

About 78 years ago in the Warsaw Ghetto, as some German SS-Man has been attacked by Jewish freedom fighters: was it a "foul" or was it more or less an act of self defence ? Just remember what's going on in it in this; I think I mustn't explain. I don't like so much double standards ! BTW: attacked by Palestinian kids at at least one baby ? So actually 355 (!) Israeli settlements & surroundings (Outposts not includet !!) on the West Bank is a word or isn't it ? Admitted, the West Bank is a bigger "jail" but there are living 2,3 million inhabitants, with the luxurious hourly water and electrical power. And not talking of the Gaza Strip .... !

Alternatively, he may have wanted to highlight the idiocy of most countries denying individuals the right to assistance to die when they have had enough of life, for whatever reason.

Truthfully, I am bored with it and totally indifferent. These two groups deserve each other and are each on earth to be a just punishment for the other. I no longer care about anything they do. But I do note the silly hypocrisy of complaining because people who attack Israel come unstuck.
