The West European-controlled United Nations are quick to act against Dictator Muammar Gadhafi of Libya, recently their staunch ally armed by them in suppressing its people in order to benefit form the Libyan oil resources. The recent BP deal with Gadhafi can only confirm this.
West European forces fired more than 110 missiles on 20 radar and anti-aircraft sites along the coast of Libya allegedly to enforce a 'no-fly zone and protect civilians'
As revolutions are sweeping the Arab world to get rid of the dictators put in place by West Europeans in their former colonies, Western countries saw Libya too great a prize to lose. Contrary to their approach towards Iran when they continued to support the beleaguered Shah Reza Pahlavi when the revolution took place in 1979, they decided to support the Libyan revolutionaries with the view to install another government which will continue to allow them to plunder Libyan oil exactly as they have been doing under a pro-Western and corrupt Gadhafi.
But, in order not to be seen as a further attack on a Muslim country by Christian forces, the European West pulled in the 12 members of the powerless Arab League which governments they control themselves anyway and which dictators they have been arming for decades to suppress and kill their own people. Among them are Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Yemen, and soon. Although Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen are in a state of revolution too, they still do not have an independent governments as those countries are still controlled and armed by the west. With the help of the dictators in the Arab league, which proved to be totally useless against the European-Israeli crimes against Palestinians and their stealing of Arab lands, the European West secured on Friday 18 March 2011 the UN Resolution 1973 which allows them :
(1) « to establish a ban on all flights in the airspace of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in order to help protect civilians », that is, to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, and
(2) to take « all necessary measures... to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory ».
West European attack on Libya
President Nicholas Sarkozy of France, whose campaign was said to have been financed by Muammar Gadhafi before their relationship turned sour, and who spearheaded this resolution, swiftly ordered, on 19th March 2011, his jet fighters to penetrate Libyan airspace to attack Gadhafi's armoured vehicles just outside Benghazi. But Ghadafi's fighter jets never took off. In fact, Gadhafi's forces shot down a jet flown by the revolutionary civilians the UN Resolution 1973 was designed to 'protect'. Further arial bombardments followed during the night by other West European forces from bases in Sicily, South Cyprus, from warships and US submarines sent to Mediterranean, aimed not at any hostile Libyan aircrafts to be used against Libyan civilians but against the Libyan air defences and other terrestrial targets, killing scores of civilians in the process. This is how, in their usual manner, the European West manipulates UN Resolutions to achieve their sinister aims.
Killings of civilians
The US blocked 9 UN Resolutions against Israel and its murders against Palestinians and its stealing of Arab lands. Many other UN Resolutions against Israel have ever been enforced as the slaughter of Palestinians continues. No-fly zones have never been sought against Israel. The Arab League has always been complicit in the killing of Palestinians. The US, British and other European forces are killing civilians, including children and babies, almost on a daily basis in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. If not, they are arming tyrants and mercenaries (Blackater Xe) to do it for them. The UN are clearly complicit in those crimes. But, when it suits them, they are very quick to act against Libya (for oil) under the cover of protecting 'civilians'. Iraq was invaded because of WMD it never had. Why are they not taking the same measures to protect civilians in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria which is doing nothing to recover the Golan Heights from the murderous European occupiers? When will the UN return the Chagos (Diego Garcia) to Mauritius and protect the Chagossians?
