Comment:
Israel is proving to be as recalcitrant as North Korea.Committing a crime and objecting to a report on that is akin to Germany not prepared to accept Nuremberg judgments after world War II.
Unless all the Security Members go ahead with the report and take up follow up action, there is no point in UN discussing the issue.If Israel threatens to pull out let it;impose sanctions.These are the times when one regrets the end of cold war era and the emergence of as US as an Unipolar power,which is run by Isralel by proxy.

Tragic.Not all of them are terrorists.Human misery concerns all of us.It is not a question of what these people, who are now stateless,not wanted in their own land or are afraid to be there for no fault of their own.May be the authorities are justified.However, compassion is expected of the Nation that heralded Liberty and Equality.These people may be granted asylum in France on Humanitarian considerations
