Israel Invaded The United Nations?

[Karl Marx's Camel]

"The fundamental blame falls again on the U.S. empire. It's the empire that armed and supported the abuses of the Israeli elite, which has invaded, abused and defied the United Nations for a long time," Chavez said.

Invaded the U.N.?
Um, no... I think he just means they defied the UN.

Sounds like perhaps the verbs invaded and abused refer to different objects (not the UN).

Well at least therez someone who's denouncing the real culprits of this terror
The rest of the UN and world (outside the Middle East) is sitting around, closing their eyes, and hoping all this goes away
However, this is typical of Chavez

Not that Hezbollah is innocent and justified...but it seems that Israel and its American ally are more concerned with the destruction and humiliation of Arab societies considering the military strategies they've undertaken up until now, than in saving their state hired killers

I think chavez knows what he means a little bit more than you

So you're suggesting that Chavez believes that Israel has invaded the UN?

Maybe you should get in touch and correct him. :rolleyes:

[Janus]

Invaded certain member nations of the UN, perhaps?

[Nachie]

Most likely a reference to the US' use of veto power on anything that even comes close to blaming Israel for something, which is and could be considered a "hijacking" of the process.

Invaded the U.N.?

It's probably a translation thing.

I would imagine that the original spanish was more subtle in its meaning.
