Israel, in its fourth day of a massive military assault of Gaza in which at least 70 Palestinians have been killed, has avoided criticism in the United Nations. An Arab-sponsored draft UN resolution condemning the Gaza offensive was vetoed on Tuesday by the US. The text was supported by 11 nations, but Britain, Germany and Romania abstained, and it was killed by the US. What position does this put the Palestinian people in? Resistance to the occupation is condemned internationally while formal channels of dialogue like the UN are blocked as well. What do you think the role is for the Palestinian people in deciding their fate?
