Russian ambassador Vitaly Churkin suddenly demanded U.N. action this week |
Russian ambassador Vitaly Churkin, who for nearly two years now has blocked any U.N. Security Council action to stop the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad from murdering more than 30,000 of his own people, lashed out this week at "procrastination on Gaza."

On at least 20 separate occasions this year, the Israeli government turned to the U.N. concerning Palestinian rocket attacks, in identical letters sent to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council.Read the rest of this article HERE along with all 20 pleas from Israel to the UN to intercede.
