Hans Rustad «The state of Israel has been in existence for 56 years,» a UN spokesman said, «Yet in all that time, we’ve only managed to condemn them 123 times. That’s not even three times for every year that Israel has been in existence.»
Secretary General Kofi Annan said, «There were so many reasons that we could have condemned Israel, like when a kibbutz member milked a cow, for example, or when the Maccabee Tel Aviv team won a football game, but we were caught up in other international business, and we missed the boat.»
