In a piece titled What About The Arab Apartheid? Khaled Abu Toameh asks why the United Nations didn't condemn acts committed against the Palestinians by Arab countries.
Yet who has ever heard of a United Nations resolution condemning Syria or Lebanon for committing horrific atrocities or discriminating against the Palestinians?
...And where was the United Nations when Kuwait and several Gulf countries expelled more than 400,000 Palestinians in one week?

An August 1st op-ed by Ephraim Karsh in the New York Times details the treatment of the Palestinians in Kuwait.
Shortly after the Persian Gulf War, Kuwaitis then set about punishing the P.L.O. for its support of Hussein — cutting off financial sponsorship, expelling hundreds of thousands of Palestinian workers and slaughtering thousands. Their retribution was so severe that Arafat was forced to acknowledge that “what Kuwait did to the Palestinian people is worse than what has been done by Israel to Palestinians in the occupied territories.”

When it comes to Israel, The United Nations is right in the forefront of condemnation and calls for investigations.
The United Nations has renewed its call for an international investigation of the Israeli deadly attack against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla aid convoy.

Why the double standard?
