Fortunately, Israel has friends ... well "two" is plural
The only two countries (there were a couple more with names that not many recognized
) who stood with Israel at the UN were the USA and Canada. Kinda makes me proud to be Canadian. Most other countries stand in some "middle" and strive to maintain the fiction that reason and compromise will solve the problem ... they won't. It's kinda like baseball ... the game has to go on until someone wins.
Talking of baseball, it took nineteen innings for the Jays to beat the Tigers yesterday.
