US Yet Again Vetoes Any Action Against Israel By UN

As Cheney keeps citing UN Security Council, I'm reminded of my disgust at how the US today vetoed sanctions and a condemnation of Israel for its recent actions in Gaza and elsewhere, where more and more civilians are dying.

See, here, we hear about the suicide bombers, but we pay far less attention to the US-supplied gunships used on Palestinians. Again and again, we act like the only precious life in the Middle East are those in Israel. But all life there is precious. The problem isn't just the Palestinians.
