[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Agreed, but consider who has called for sanctions and what they have to gain by taking an anti-Israeli stand on the world stage. Everyone in the S.C. vetos anything that is contrary to their own intrests or that of their allies/partners in commerce...unless doing so would point to their own complicity in whatever brought about the notion of sanction in the first place. I think a big reason no one is seriously talking sanctions against Israel (now-yet)is that (with regards to the Security Council) Israel is not doing anything they would not do themselves under the same (or less) provocation. The official word seems to be "we'll give Israel a week to "wrap up" it's operations". It's like a brawl were the friends of guy winning say to themselves "get ready to pull him off". It's as much for the victor as it is for the defeated. As long as Israel does not re-occupy Lebanon, I doubt any sanctions will be called for against Israel. Besides, sanctions would just further isolate Israel and make any diplomatic cease-fire that much harder. [/QB][/QUOTE]
