UN Resolutions ignored by Israel
In a sham attempt to get world support for its imperialist rampage, the US relentlessly points out Iraq's breaches of UN resolutions. No mention is made of the far graver breaches by nuclear armed Israel.

The difference
None of the resolutions - DEMANDS that Israel do something -which the Iraqi resolutions do, NOcease-fire was contingent upon any of them, and further, NONE of them authorize states to use "all necessary means" to enforce compliance.
All those are true about the Iraqi resolutions:
Here is from 1205:
www.un.org/Docs/scres/1998/sres1205.htm
"2. Demands that Iraq rescind immediately and unconditionally the decision of 31 October 1998, as well as the decision of 5 August 1998, to suspend cooperation with the Special Commission and to maintain restrictions on the work of the IAEA, and that Iraq provide immediate, complete and unconditional cooperation with the Special Commission and the IAEA; "
"5. Reaffirms its intention to act in accordance with the
relevant provisions of resolution 687 (1991) on the duration of the prohibitions referred to in that resolution, and notes that by its failure so far to comply with its relevant obligations Iraq has delayed the moment when the Council can do so;"
Here is 687, which it references:
www.un.org/Docs/scres/1991/687e.pdf
article 33 of it says "that when it is officially accepted by Iraq "a formal cease-fire is effective between Iraq Kuwait and the Member States cooperating with Kuwait in accordance with resolution 678 (1990).
www.un.org/Docs/scres/1990/678e.pdf
Resolution 678 authorizes Member states to use "all necessary means to uphold and implement resolution 660(1990) and all subsequent relevant resolutions..."
Resolution 715 www.un.org/Docs/scres/1991/715e.pdf
"Demands that Iraq meet unconditionally all its obligations
under the plans approved by the present resolution and
cooperate fully with the Special Commissio and the Director
Genera of the Agency in carrying out the plans;"
Further 1060 again declares Iraq to be in violation of the
previously passed resolutions.
S/RES/1060 (1996)
19960612
12 June 1996
RESOLUTION 1060 (1996)
Adopted by the Security Council at its 3672nd meeting on 12 June 1996
The Security Council,
Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions, and in
particular its resolutions 687 (1991) of 3 April 1991, 707 (1991) of 15 August 1991 and 715 (1991) of 11 October 1991,
Recalling also the letter from the Executive Chairman of the United Nations Special Commission to the President of the Security Council of 9 March 1996 (S/1996/182), the letter from the President of the Security Council to the Executive Chairman of the Special Commission of 12 March 1996 (S/1996/183), the statement made at its 3642nd meeting on 19 March 1996 by the President of the Security Council (S/PRST/1996/11), and the report of the Chairman of the Special Commission of 11 April 1996 (S/1996/258),
Reiterating the commitment of all Member States to the
sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Kuwait and Iraq,
Recalling in this context the notes from the Secretary-General of 21 July 1993 (S/26127) and 1 December 1993 (S/26825),
Noting the progress made in the work of the Special Commission towards the elimination of Iraq's programmes of weapons of mass destruction, and outstanding problems, reported by the Chairman of the Special Commission,
Noting with concern the incidents on 11 and 12 June 1996,
reported to members of the Council by the Executive Chairman of the Special Commission, when access by a Special Commission inspection team to sites in Iraq designated for inspection by the Commission was excluded by the Iraqi authorities,
Emphasizing the importance the Council attaches to full
compliance by Iraq with its obligations under resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991) and 715 (1991) to permit immediate, unconditional and unrestricted access to the Special
Commission to any site which the Commission wishes to inspect,
Emphasizing the unacceptability of any attempts by Iraq to
deny access to any such site,
Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
1.Deplores the refusal of the Iraqi authorities to allow
access to sites
designated by the Special Commission, which constitutes a
clear violation of the provisions of Security Council resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991) and 715 (1991);
2.Demands that Iraq cooperate fully with the Special
Commission in accordance with the relevant resolutions; and that the Government of Iraq allow
the Special Commission inspection teams immediate,
unconditional and unrestricted access to any and all areas, facilities, equipment, records and
means of transportation which they wish to inspect;
3.Expresses its full support to the Special Commission in its efforts to ensure implementation of its mandate under the relevant resolutions of the Council;
4.Decides to remain seized of the matter.

Correction
The most recent I think is 313. That is from 1972!
daccess-ods.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/275/44/IMG/NR027544.pdf
It discusses Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon! I'm guessing, but it probably pertains to Israel's occupatoin of the Shaba Farms area -which Israel has subseqnetly left.
In any event - there is no UN resolution authorizing member states to use 'all necessary means' to enforce the resolution.
Sorry - I should have at least 1 cup of coffee before I post.
In any event though - there is a big difference in the resolutions in what they authorize.
Good one
Right-wing Nutsos
If the U.S. wants to do a regime change over defiance of UN resolutions, they should start with Israel. Better yet, the US should stop funding Israel and keep its troops at home. After all, the US is the only country condemned for perpetrating terrorism against another country (Nicaragua).
To ARS
That has yet to happen.
As for the Nicaraguan business - both parties have to agree to submit to jurisdiction of that court - and the US didn't.
It has all the legal effect of a guy screaming on a milk crate in Times Square - or for that matter, that little hate-fest last August back in Durban.
PK
Pat the Patriot - dangerous for America?
Yet if Saddam Hussein said "Oh, sod it, I don't recognise the jurisdiction of the UN anymore", I expect you would still support a US military slaughter of Iraqi's. That would be consistent with US history, to ignore rulings or bodies that don't further the interests of the corporate mafia in charge. You know, the "patriots" in Exxon, Worldcom, etc., the ones who are stealing our jobs (moved to communist China) and pensions (sorry I spent it).
This contempt for international law is surely the hallmark of a Rogue State, if the term is to have any meaning beyond its propaganda value. And that is precisely how much of the world today views the US. And that's very convenient for the likes of bin Laden and other assorted maniacs. Plenty of support out there.
Still, there's nothing to make me think Dubya & Co. give a damn about our lives, or anyone elses but their own. After all, the Bush and bin Laden families have done good business in the past, and Prescott Bush was quite happy to bankroll the Nazi's, who were responsible for rather more American deaths than September 11th.
Why trust these people?
Hey, Pat
