technically yes, but not without our support. it would not happen if we disagreed to it. and in fact it would not take place if we did not favor it strongly.

it does not really matter, cuz when u look @ the 60 year picture, US has been the parent country along with old allies from WW II including Britain and France.

It's the US who almost always vetoes any condemnations or any sort of resolution against Israel and the things they have done wrong in the security council of the UN... after all I don't believe any1 is immune from doing wrong and i believe countries should be treated fairly on this basis in UN... but thats not the case in reality

When a country does something that amasses to war crime or genocide, there is just no accepted excuse for it, no matter what is the history and background of such a move or the motives

all wrong doing should be noted and treated on equal basis by a body called UN in an unbiased and non-political manner. no matter who has done it.

but UN security council indeed is politically controlled, i dont think thats deniable.
