I'll Take "Amusing Choice of Words" For A Thousand, Alex.

The Jerusalem Post is reporting that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), in yet another riveting display of its comical worthlessness, has approved the Goldstone Report. This means it will now move forward to the Security Council for an official vote on whether to condemn Israel for "war crimes."

Goldstone Set to Go to Security Council

As utterly unsurprising as this decision is, there was a bit of an eyebrow raiser during the UNGA meeting itself. I'll leave everyone with the following statement from the floor "debate" at the Assembly:

...such violations defied numerous key international instruments and resolutions. Despite yet another episode of a war of genocide, Israel has, nonetheless, not been able to kill the will and steadfastness of the Palestinian people.


That would be comments made against Israel by Ambassador Adbalmahmood Addalhaleem Mohamed of...Sudan. Yes. The Ambassador of Sudan is displaying his moral outrage at "yet another" war of genocide perpetrated not by his own country, but allegedly by Israel.

That's just good storytelling right there. But I'm a little miffed at Sudan's negativity and lack of constructive criticism.

I mean what the hell, Sudan?! If you're going to get all uppity with another country for committing "genocide," then the least you can do is leave some tips on how to commit it properly next time!
