Russia is a member of the Permanent Security Council, Bazza.
Russia also invaded Ukraine Papster so your point is moot, what about human rights in Chechnya, devout Muslim Ramzan Kadyrov? Russian bulldog for the region.
Lets be fair now Pap and not selective, no more agenda driven crap from you Iâll pick you up everytime now, if only for evenhandedness.
I could be wrong, but it was my understanding that a fair amount of sanctions were brought against Russia for that. Whereas I donât think much in the way of sanctions has been brought against Israel for a lot of their behaviour, particualry in regard to Palestine.

Itâs not moot. A Permanent Member of the Security Council has the power to veto any UN resolution, which means that if the UN says âhey wow, we really need to do something about Russian action in Chechnya!â, Russia, due to its Permanent status, can say âer, no we donâtâ.
The UN is toothless for the exact opposite reason that the League of Nations was. The UNâs forerunners didnât have enough big nations involved. The UN has too many, and has invested them with too much power, power that has all too frequently been used to let allies off the hook when it comes to their human rights transgressions.
Israel is not the only example of a country that PSC members assist in this way, but itâs the most prominent one, and certainly one of the most meaningful in any understanding of the problems of the region.
I donât divert discussions Pap, you do.
You havenât answered the question, I agree Israel should be held to account but so should Russia for invading a Nation, you seem to think as they are in the UN they are exempt, and also exempt from mention or criticism, imagine if the US or UK permanently retook Calais by force or the US went back into the Philippines?
Biased Pap and hollow lad.
I donât seem to think anything, Barry. I have been quite clear in my assertion that international law should be universally upheld. That would naturally cover all of the examples you are presently trying to play whatabouttery with.

An absolutely damning indictment.
Just to be perfectly clear: I have absolutely no problems with the normal everyday people who live in the area of Palestine that most now call âisraelâ. I dated a beautiful israeli peace activist in my younger years, and still have many âisraeliâ friends in the area. My issue is not with the normal everyday people who live there â it is with their string of genocidal apartheid governments, and the underlying cause of âzionismâ, the problem itself.
Then why only mention Israel, pure agenda driven Pap, its so you and youâre probably wryly smiling to yourself as you reply, you know its true.
Jack
The Israelis vote their people in, donât sit on the fence and say its solely the Government, the Government are representative of the people.
Cop out answer.
I take your point Barry, indeed. The trouble is, the only options they have to choose from with any chance of winning an election â are all cunts.

The article I was replying to was about Israelâs involvement in Syria.
This isnât the first time you have tried to imply someone was prosecuting an anti-semitic agenda, and Iâm sure you are wryly smiling to yourself as you do so. Iâve called you out on it before, and Iâm expecting the same deafening silence this time around.
If nothing else, itâs yet another decent demonstration of how criticism of Israel is conflated with being a racist.
The state of Israel is a bag of shite Pap but you do have an agenda for sure against them, Iâm not even insinuating it you do.
Thats democracy for you, tell your friends to stand then on the issues of land grabs and a lack of democracy.
You are being hypocritical.

There is far more of my content critical of the UK, the US or the EU than there ever has been of Israel.
Nice try, though.

Most of them do. Some of them gave up voting a long time ago. To quote Avishay â âwhatâs the fucking point mate? Bennett, Bibi or Zippy! I wonât vote for racisits.â

Lol. How so?
Pap that means little when you hate this Country, the US and the Western World, you moaning about Israel a little less means little.
There is a huge difference between being critical of the path a countryâs leadership takes and a country, Barry. Iâve had renumerated offers to leave this sceptred isle and have rejected them all. Canât hate it much though, can I blood?
Governments shape policy from the collective electorate, you simply balming the Government in a democracy is crazy, its the people.
No they donât. They spend years dreaming it up in echo chambers, indifferent (or perhaps even actively uncaring) to the damage their ideology might wreak on the populace.
