The United States of America could break the Israeli blockade of Palestinians in minutes if she were a true "champion of human rights", as she often claims. American slaughter of Afghans, Iraqis and Pakistanis reveals a different face behind the "human rights mask". She is not concerned about human rights and human misery when its serves her interests. I find it ironic that America is supportive of Saakashvili and Georgia, but refused to break the Israeli blockade in order to help the Palestinians. Selective morality at its best.

Living in the US I can tell you that the US government has no interest in human rights on its own soil either. New taxes are created constantly, we already have around 40 percent of wages taxed and then very high tax on everything we buy pushing even middle class into poverty. Now they plan to jail people for not buying health insurance leaving no choice but to spend less on food to be able to pay these increased taxes.

This is by far the best definition of "Double-Standard's" by the United Nation's and the United States why does these two entities keep wielding the double-edged sword I will never know. I seems both the UN and US are noting but a "Double Act" with each other. In Isreal they have annexed too much land from Palestinians for which brought forth all of their conflicts and wars that they have over the highly fought over territory of former Palestine. This is the major reason why Palestinians feel both robbed and been plundered of their territory. What also makes me laugh is when the United Nation's calls upon Russia and then the "Double Act" of UN and US seems to make these two entities appear small yet they have the biggest influence in the world which includes Isreal and the West Bank. As far as I'm concerned I will only support Russia's policy on Isreal due to the fact that Russia has more mediator and methodical stances on this most difficult state of circumstances. Which ALL of the west's efforts have all failed in every single account so it is best for the world to allow Russia to do it's magic to show the world that Russia is not meant to be feared no more but shown to have the world's best common sense surrounding Isreal. I hope Isreal will benefit from Russian talk's because only Russia can save the day and bring peace in the middle east once and for all. Finally UK's Tony Blair,US's Hilary Clinton and UN's Ban Ki Moon will most certainly be lost without Russia's Sergei Lavrov so it's best to be allies than enemies when you are trying to help aid territories in distress (the world needs to band together not fight each other) this is what Russia is all about world so please give Russia a chance on this. At least you'll hear a different point of view for once.

Ban Ki Moon says "Israel must stop its expansion in occupied territory", I strongly disagree with that statement, it's merely lip service. Closer to the truth is: "Israel must be stopped in it's expansion into occupied territiory, and we (the international community) must stop telling them to stop settlement activity, and ACT, and stop this theft of Palestinian land"
