[Peace-discuss] Shirin Ebadi on Palestine and Iraq

[Ra Ravishankar]

Why is it that in the past 35 years, dozens of U.N. resolutions 
concerning the OCCUPATION (emphasis mine) of Palestinian territories by 
the state of Israel have not been implemented promptly, yet, in the past 
12 years, the state and people of Iraq, once on the recommendation of 
the Security Council and the second time IN SPITE OF (emphasis mine) 
U.N. Security Council opposition, were subjected to attack, military 
assault, economic sanctions, and, ultimately, military occupation?
