What makes the travesty complete is that this denial of Israel's right to defend itself because doing so might violate "humanitarian" rights was read in open court by the chief judge representing China, whose government massacred hundreds of its own citizens demonstrating peacefully in Tiananmen Square. Not since Libya was made chairman of the Commission on Human Rights has the U.N. system put on such a shameless display of hypocrisy.

"It is a violation of international law for Jews to be living in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem."

Canadians living in Canada ?

If this Kangaroo Court had been around during the 1940's, the war would have turned out a lot better for Adolph Hitler.
Why don't they just tell the Israelis to wear signs that read "Bomb Me, Please, I Insist."

This ruling is simply a travishamrockery.
And the World Court and UN is nothing more than a clustermuck.
