-           It was the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that watched Israel destroy Iraq’s peaceful nuclear technology, passed a resolution, but remained idle as Isarel continued with its path of destruction.

-           It was the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that stood by while 500,000 children in Iraq were subjected to malnutrition and death.

-           It was the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that stood by and watched America illegally invade Iraq without passing a resolution.

-           It was the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that watched the Israelis destroy Lebanon for 33 days with American ammunition. One man at the UN ‘Security’ Council, John Bolton, ruled over the lives and deaths of the Lebanese. [viii]

-           It was the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that watched Israel raze Palestinian homes over and over again.

-           It is the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that is witnessing the starvation of Palestinians people, women and children alike.

 

And it is the United Nations ‘Security’ Council that is ordering the savage and cruel gang violation of Iran.  They have passed resolution to take her defenses away.  Under the pretext of her nuclear program, her inalienable right to enrich uranium for energy –Article IV of the NPT, they have passed a resolution that Iran must not have conventional weapons to defend herself when they come to attack her – to ravage her, to take all that is hers and her children’s.

 

Regardless of race, color, or religion, we are all equal under the law.  To repeat a cliché, we are only as strong as the weakest link in the chain –  this is humanity’s bond – a bind that if broken with indifference, will cause the demise of civilization as we know it.  We must not remain complacent in the face of the insecurity that is about to take place – the UNSC’s violation of Iran.  This is not a call for justice for Iran, nor for the children of Iran, but a call to disallow oppression.  We must defend justice with our lives, lest one day we be in need of justice to defend our lives.
