Note
The usual UN agenda item dedicated solely to condemning Israel. Here is it is the Second Committee of the General Assembly (the Economic and Financial committee.) The item is called "Economic and social repercussions of the Israeli occupation on the living conditions of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan." The resulting dialogue is predictable. Sudan - in a rush to worry about human rights abuses - asked for proposals to end Palestinian suffering. Malaysia blamed the international boycott of the terrorist-led Palestinian government for the deteriorating situation. Syria, occupier of Lebanon, railed on about the effects of Israel's occpation. And so it went.
