Note
Staggering Syrian numbers. World Food Programme says it is "aiming to feed 2.5 million people inside Syria and close to one million refugees in neighbouring countries" at a cost of 19 million dollars a week. Now consider that the United Nations General Assembly is empowered to hold Emergency Special Sessions, but the only emergency special session they have held since 1997 has been about Israel. This so-called "10th emergency special session" that began 16 years ago has been "reconvened" 16 times - for the sole purpose of condemning Israel. But there is no "emergency" in Syria.
