UN demands israel tear down wall of shame

the UN general assembly passed a resolution last night demanding that israel abide by a world court ruling to dismantle a 451-mile «security barrier» that cuts through (READ, PARTIALLY BUILT ON) palestinian territory.

the resolution in the 191-member assembly passed by a vote of 150 to 6, with 10 governments abstaining. the united states opposed the resolution, saying that the international court and the general assembly are inappropriate venues for resolving the middle east crisis. [because the only appropriate venue is the theatre of war, right?!... can anyone believe this?!]. israel, australia, the marshall islands, micronesia and palau also opposed the resolution. run the list of nations opposing the resolution by me again? LOL

the washington post has more.
