10/07/03 - The World, except for US, condemns Israel for attacking Syria

The US went against world opinion at the UN this week and refused to condemn Israel for its recent attack on Syria. Israel claims it acted in self-defense after a terror bombing that killed 20 in Israel recently, a claim backed by the US. Regardless, the Israeli attack violates the American-brokered disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel of 1974 and threatens to further destabilize the Middle-East.
