"The violation of human rights I think in this territory is massive," Louise Arbour, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, told reporters during a visit to Beit Hanoun, a town the Israeli army shelled earlier this month, killing 19 civilians.

"The call for protection has to be answered. We cannot continue to see civilians, who are not the authors of their own misfortune, suffer to the extent of what I see."

Sounds great: but what will the UN actually do about this, in light of the US veto certain to come against almost any statement critical of Israel?
 
What will they do? The same thing they've been doing about it since at least 1955 -- absolutely nothing. They know it's wrong, we know it's wrong (those of us not wearing our colons as headgear, at any rate) -- but our leaders are obligated by the financiers who bought their political offices to be "blissful."
