UN: Murder of Jews Not Really Our Problem

The United Nations, which recently passed six resolutions condemning Israel for being a threat to peace and stability in the Middle East - not to mention for damaging the lives of Palestinian terrorists - has found itself unwilling to condemn the Netanya bombing:

United States Ambassador to the UN John Bolton announced Tuesday that Algeria prevented the release of a statement by the UN Security Council condemning Monday's suicide bombing in Netanya. Algeria objected reportedly because the proposed condemnation mentioned that the instructions for the attack came from Damascus.

Algeria, which is currently signed trade treaties with Iran and (wait for it) Syria, is allowed to prevent the United Nations from pointing out that the murder of civilians is something that should be frowned upon. As to the specific pretext of the objection - that the order came from Syria:

Earlier in the day, a senior Islamic Jihad figure in Gaza City denied that the organization had offices in Syria, claiming that their secretary general Ramadan Shalah left the country months ago. However, the Islamic Jihad, who took responsibility for the bombing openly admitted that it received its orders from Syria.
