I'm not pro-israel in the slightest, but not all broken resolutions are the same. You can't just say 65 > 16, therefore israel is worse.
I've broken the law more than any 18 year old who is in jail for murder, but going over the speed limit by 5mph really isn't important.
Because Iraq attacked Kuwait and Iran.
And they used chemical weapons

Also, partly because the UN is an impotent, pointless organization for anything outside of social programs.
Who sees Iraq as a threat? People see ISIS as a threat, but not Iraq. Not anymore, anyway.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
So a veiled nation bashing thread? Or just the standard anti Israel thread?
READ and be less Ignorant.
Because there is no Iraq AIPAC that strangleholds the US congress.
A little from Column A, a little from Column B....
And yeah, there's a lot of anti-Israel UN resolutions because there's a lot of anti-Israel hypocrites in the UN. Israel is not 100% always right, but they're trying to do the right thing, whereas their enemies have no floor to how low and despicable they'll act.
Except in american law it does?
If you rob a place and your accomplice shoots and kills somebody. They can charge you with that murder.
Some guy setup a website to teach people how to pass lie detector tests and was jailed for it.
So yea being a part of it or teaching people it can easily get you the same punishment as those that actually did the act.

There are a lot of UN resolutions against a LOT of groups. But only the US and those they back and tell the UN screw you unless it meets what they want.
Breaking a resolution should have a punishment with it, regardless of if your doing the right thing or not. Or whats the point to them?
There are very few countries in the world that are seen as threats to others. It's mostly organizations like ISIS or the Talibans that are seen as threats.
It also depends in what part of the world you're from. EG the US is seen as a threat in many islamic countries but not in Germany just as an example.
There is a point to this. A break down of what was broken would be nice.
But on the other hand, in the US they have 3 strike laws. Stealing a slice of pizza for the 3rd time gives you mandatory jail time. So repeat offenders do get punished harder, even for simple things.
You get multiple speeding tickets and its possible to have your licence yanked.

Number of violations is hardly a good measure of threat-status.
