Today, in a telephone conversation with UN chief Ban K Moon, Israeli PM Netanyuhu vertually demanded the UN chief boycott a meeting of the 120 member strong set of non aligned nations. (Nan) As Nan consists of set of almost a 2/3 majority of the 192 existing UN members.

Sadly, IMHO, by the luck of the draw, that UN conference is to be hosted by Iran. And even then, worse yet, Iran's Achmadinejad is guilty of decided anti-sematism. But why should that muddy any water when Achmadinejad has little or no power inside Iran. As Iran has a track record of being perhaps the least anti-sematic nation in the 300 million strong set of mid-east nations.
Then there is another complication as Abbas has said he will take his case for UN statehood to the general assembly in the very near future. And its already somewhat a slam dunk that the of set of non-alligned nations will be only a part of over a the 2/3 of UN majority nations who will vote for Palestinian statehood. Not just this time but well into the future. As Israeli has zero claim to East Jerusalem, Gaza, or the West Bank.
Nor should the set of non aligned UN nations be without a voice or be accused of siding only against Israel, when they have many other issues, including the abolition of the UN security council with veto powers that has proven to be an inefferctive antique.
But still we are left with Netanyuhu chuczpah when a mere 7 million population nation presumes to lecture the UN chief on how to behave. Especially when Israeli behavior makes the present Israeli government the #1 threat to world peace.
