Of course the U.S. and Israel think they're about the UN, its pretty rare that the UN has applied the same standards to those nations that they apply to the other nations. Combine that with the fact that Israel is surrounded on all sides by hostile nations or entities, and they have been pretty much constantly under attack by one side or the other since their founding and the UN has been an ineffectual organization in this region.
I go back to the hypocrisy of the UN in 2007 where they were so busy tripping over themselves to put forth 22 resolutions against Israel that they failed to put forth any resolutions condemning Sudan for the genocides and other attrocities happening there.
Call me when the UN is reformed so that it deals with every member state on equitable terms.
