Double Standard

If the President of Israel were to make a speech in which he called for the eventual eradication of Islam and all Muslims - removal of them from the face of the Earth, those dirty people, the entire world would be up in arms about it.   Very likely there would be something coming from the UN condemning not only the speech but the very idea.   Yesterday we heard the President of Iran make those very comments about Jews.   There are some condemnations coming from the likes of the US and Britain.   But the world, at large, is offering very little in terms of real reaction.   The Russians and Chinese have the least to say.   Nobody in the Arab world is condemning Iran for stating an official foreign policy of desiring to carry out genocide.   Israel is calling for the expulsion of Iran from the UN.   That seems unlikely for a number of reasons.   But why can the world not unite on the one concept that it is always absolutely wrong for one group to say "we desire to kill everyone in that country or of that religion?"   Until the world can come together on something as fundamental as this, there is absolutely no hope of anything even remotely resembling world peace.   Where are the peaceniks like Cindy Sheehan and her disciples on this?

  • The danger of all this is that its the USA who has been the world's protector of freedom.

    I imagine Europe, and the Middle East would love to have the USA fall, and turn into some kind of stomping ground.

    But without the USA, will the UN have any power to defend human rights? Is the UN even interested in defending human rights?
