@mozz Strange. Israel totally ignores the #UN whenever it suits, but then expects them to come running to get #Israel out of a mess it created.

It was always thus, in this as in many other contexts. If phase 1 is "You can't stop me, rules mean nothing, I will do as I please," it's a good bet that by phase 3 we'll arrive at "OMG what is happening now is against the rules, won't someone step in and make sure I come to no harm, we need justice."
