A Deserving Country

So the Prime Minister of the USraeli client state of Australia, Julia Gillard, in her address to the UN General Assembly on 26 September reckons we "deserve"* a seat on the UN Security Council.

This is the client state:

a) whose Foreign Minister H.V. Evatt played an instrumental role in the UNGA's decision to recommend the partition of Palestine over the heads of its people in 1947.

b) that supported the Israeli/British/French aggression against Egypt in 1956.

c) that tailed the US into Vietnam in 1962.

d) that tailed the US into the Persian Gulf in 1991.

e) that tailed the US into Afghanistan in 2001.

f) that tailed the US into Iraq in 2003.

g) that called for NATO intervention in Libya in 2011.

h) that calls for the West to "muscle up to the Syrian regime."

i) that talks of the need for "robust actions" against Iran.

j) that routinely votes with USrael and a motley crew of Pacific Island states against any resolution critical of Israeli human rights abuses and war crimes.

k) that acts as an errand boy for Israeli interests in UN fora and beyond.

l) that has never had an independent foreign policy thought in its entire life.

We deserve a seat on the SC? What the f... ! You're kidding me?!

Here We Go Again

We couldn't let Christmas 2010 come and go without a little pressie for our nearest and dearest now, could we? No bloody way!

So, on 24 December, Australia voted in the UN General Assembly, with Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, the Netherlands, Palau, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the UK and the US, against the authorisation of a third UN World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) (dubbed Durban III) planned for September 2011.

The vote was 104-22 in favour, with 33 abstaining.

For the sorry saga of Australia's part in undermining last year's WCAR on Israel's behalf, simply click on the 'Durban II' tag below and read, in particular, Australia Dumps on Durban (20/4/09) & ADoD 2 (23/4/09).

Comedy Corner: I thought you might like to know what the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations (what about the minor ones?) in the US had to say about the coming Durban III, the prototype of which, according to the CPMJO, was inspired by none other than everyone's favorite caveman, Osama bin Laden:

"The vote of the UNGA... sets the stage for a celebration of the outrageous events that took place during Durban I, which were permeated by manifestations of bigotry and hatred. The event is scheduled to be held shortly after the 10th anniversary commemoration of September 11th. It is hard to imagine a more insensitive action, recalling that the attack on the World Trade Center that killed thousands was carried out by those influenced by the same hateful ideologies that Durban I came to represent."
