The UN decision to intervene in Libya was taken to protect Libyan citizens and champion democracy. At least that's what the worlds media is busy trying to convince you.
The worlds media machine will do its best to convince you that the UN took these decisions with only the noblest of intentions at heart, and that the roots of its very existence prevents it from any corruption or wrong doing. The original aims of the United Nations are "to keep peace throughout the world, to develop friendly relations between nations, to work together to help people live better lives, to eliminate poverty, disease and illiteracy in the world, to stop environmental destruction and to encourage respect for each other's rights and freedoms."
To encourage respect for each others rights and freedoms.
While the UN sponsored bombing of Libya continues, the Israeli military are launching missile attacks against the condensed civilian population of the Gaza strip. Over 10,000 Palestinians are held in detention by Israel. That's more political prisoners than China or Iran. Israel has the largest number of apartheid laws and regulations. It has one of the longest imposition of emergency laws and regulations that rob citizens of their most basic human and civil rights. Israel has imposed laws upon Palestinian citizens that prevent them from building new homes, from cultivating their land and from travelling to work or to a hospital. Israel completely bans the Palestinians from commemorating their history and culture.
The UN seems unconcerned with encouraging respect for Palestinians rights and freedoms. The UN seems unwilling to deal with a rogue nation who's insane leaders are endangering the lives of its civilian population. That rogue state is Israel, and its immunity is another clear indicator of the shameful double standards being used to justify the rape of Libya.
