But one should also ask whether such steps bring any tangible relief or benefit to the Palestinians." i.e. stop turning the GA into a forum for bashing one country and undermining the legitimacy of the UN He said these resolutions strengthen Israel's belief "that this great organization is too one-sided to be allowed a significant role in the Middle East peace process." And finally "Even worse, some of the rhetoric used in connection with the issue implies a refusal to concede the very legitimacy of Israel's existence, let alone the validity of its security concerns," Annan said. "What was done to Jews and others by the Nazis remains an undeniable tragedy, unique in human history."

Kofi Annan is as corrupt as the rest. Not a whole lot different from Yassar Arafat in my opinion. Just a snake of a different color. Amen! Kofi Annan is as corrupt as the rest.
