I dont remember hearing of heroic Israeli efforts to stop the genocide

In 1994, the left-wing party running the government of Israel had just signed the Oslo accords, and was under a terrorist assault (the first big wave of suicide bombers). It was receiving assistance from the US to purchase military weapons. It was in no position to go off on a grand adventure overseas while hostile armies gathered on its borders.

Sorry Charlie, no cigar.Clinton was using it in his own special way, but no supposedly civilised country gets a "buy" on this one.

I do not accuse, nor do I absolve, Israel of the burden of blood guilt for the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda.

The entire world watched genocide occur,once again, after the world swore "never again".

Get the US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US.
