First, in today's discussion, the nations supporting and endorsing South Africa's case versus Israel are: Egypt, Somalia, Qatar, Belize (the first in the western hemisphere), Slovenia (the first in Europe), Bangladesh, Jordan and Indonesia. Indonesia has the largest number of Islamic Moslems in the world.

As Founder of United Nations Santa Fe, I encourage more to step forward as participants, litigants, and not just in an "amicus curiae" capacity (Friends of the Court) to both of the Hague's older court and the newer court, the International Criminal Court, in the striking modern architecture by Schmidt, Hammer, Lassen, the Danish firm in 1986 in Aarhus, Denmark, with three offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus, as well as Shanghai, China.

Second: Mahayana Buddhism means "greater vehicle," the Buddhism inherent in politics and in war, whereby victims and potential victims are protected, and those victims gone are brought justice, retribution, and a kind of delayed retribution.

Theravada (from Pali, literally "School of the Elders") is Buddhism's oldest extant school. The school's adherents, termed theravadins, have preserved their version of the Gautama Buddha's teaching in the Pali Canon.

The best personal example that comes to my mind, was what Morris Udall did about the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, and what it cost him in terms of a shortened life.

_______________

When President Kennedy appointed Stewart Udall as USA Secretary of Interior, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors scheduled a special election in which Morris was elected to the House of Representatives.

As a Mormon grandson of Ella Stewart Udall, the first telegraph operator in the Arizona Territory, Congressman Morris was disturbed by the reports of the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, in which hundreds of women, children and elderly (504) were gunned down next to trough/ditch, then the corpses were shoved into the ditch, by order of Lt. William Calley, later convicted, still alive and lives in Miami.

Morris was later a leading contender for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination, which went to James Earl Carter Jr., the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, who had been Governor of Georgia.

In the Electoral College, Carter then bested Leslie Lynch King of Omaha, Nebraska, whom you may remember as "Gerald Rudolph Ford" of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
