Hamas being quoted with having said it would not get involved in any Iranian-Israeli war:

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood criticises Iran over Suez channel transit and warns of Arab Spring reaching out for Iran as well:

Be careful to cheer about this news. It's both poisened pawns.

true dat!

The only reason why Hamas should care, is that some of them probably know that radioactive fallout from a nuke aimed at Tel Aviv doesn't stop at the PA's border.
On the other hand there are for sure also some who believe that Unca Mahmoud developes a bomb that only kills unbelievers...

We were having a discussion at work today about this: What if Israel attacks Iran and the UNGA invokes Resolution 377 and votes for sanctions and military action against Israel? I am not sure whether it takes a simple or a super majority of the GA to invoke 377.

Quote from the resolution

Quote:

Resolves that if the Security Council, because of lack of unanimity of the permanent members, fails to exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security in any case where there appears to be a threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression, the General Assembly shall consider the matter immediately with a view to making appropriate recommendations to Members for collective measures, including in the case of a breach of the peace or act of aggression the use of armed force when necessary, to maintain or restore international peace and security.

Forget that resolution. The heavy-weights in the SC will chose opportunistically whether or not they accept to bow the general assembly'S "pressure", or not. And last time I checked the US was one of the heavy-weights in the SC. France and Britain are something else, but the US will not let Israel face armed combat from UN troops.

It'S more likely that you will see a Klingon enjoying gummy bears than that the UN will ever play a constructive, competent and objective role in Israeli-Islamic conflicts.
