There have been dozens of UN Sec Council resolutions condemning Israel's military actions against civilians, mostly in Gaza. They always recieve a 13-1 vote (The U.S. is the 1) against Israel.
Many folks believe "Collective Punishment" is a standard part of Israeli military strategy. Who's to say they are right or wrong?

So the Israelis planned an attack on Qana in order to kill innocent women and children? The collective punishment is a possible motive, but it is really hard to defeat an enemy who uses an innocent population as shields. We have video of rockets being fired from behind apartment complexes. Why would a group fire rockets from behind an area where innocent civilians are living?
UN security council res. mean very little apparently. They called for the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah a long time ago. And when Syria was appointed head of Human Rights violations... The UN is necessary, but hardly fair or uncorruptable. Hell they had UN soldiers in Africa rape women. And Kofi has a bit of an accounting problem.
