Fourteenth Friday Senno11 Feb 22, 1991 'We have told you twice that we do not like your attitude and we shall be compelled to take such steps as will make you believe that we do not like what you are doing. ' Yet another resolution is passed which virtually means: 'We have been compelled, as we said, to tell you that we certainly resent your behaviour. . . ' In short, no action was taken against Israel except the passing of a few resolutions of this type. This reminds me of a joke about the people of U. P. (India). They are a submissive and peaceful lot. If a person from the U. P. is struck a blow the victim does not retaliate but says, 'If you hit me again you will see. ' If he is struck a second time, he still will not retaliate but repeats the same once again. This goes on every time be is struck. This is just a joke against the people of U. P. for there are many people in U. P. who are brave, bold and aggressive and have often successfully subdued their enemies, but this is true of the United Nations. The United Nations resolutions have been ignored time and again by Israel, which, in other words, said rebelliously: 'Your resolutions are not worth the paper they are written upon. They should be tossed into the waste paper basket - I would trample over such resolutions. . . ' Every time Israel ignores a United Nations resolution, the United Nations passes another one admonishing Israel saying in effect 'If you do this again, we will be annoyed. ' No action is taken, only paper resolutions are passed. Why is this lunatic scene being enacted? There is a limit to such absurdity. One can hardly believe this is happening in this world. THE UNITED NATIONS I ask the Muslims, the Arabs and the world: What is the use of this United Nations? The United Nations only serves the interest of the rich and powerful nations. What is the use of such a U. N. , the constitution of which permits the powerful nations to make others the victims of their cruelty and yet not allow them to raise their voice of protest. If they somehow manage to introduce such a resolution, it is vetoed and the big powers, through their tout, continue perpetrating cruelty. They virtually rule the world and govern the destinies of the nations. In the name of the United Nations, the rich and the strong punish the Arabs and Muslims with impunity and inflict cruelties and atrocities on than. 266
