After his briefing, he opened the floor to questions. The first question asked concerned the inquiry of the flotilla incident with follow up questions.
Another question began with, "Mr. Secretary-General, going back to the flotilla inquiry...."
And another question - "Mr. Secretary-General, please, I’d like for the last question to go back to the issue of the panel of Gaza...."

Having some time on my hands, I went back to the press briefings of last week, given by a UN spokesperson.
August 6th
Based upon the transcript, Martin Nesirky did not discuss the flotilla inquiry, but when he asked if anyone had questions, someone brought up, "Did they discuss the flotilla, the Panel...?"

On August 5th, the UN spokesperson briefed the audience about Lebanon, among other items.Question: I’m confused about this flotilla incident inquiry.

August 4th
No briefings or questions about Israel. Falling asleep on the job?
August 3rd briefing
Brieifing about Lebanon - no mention of the flotilla, yet one of the questions raised began with, "Concerning the panel of inquiry on the flotilla."

August 2nd press briefing
The Secretary-General, as you heard, announced this morning that he has set up a Panel of Inquiry on the flotilla incident of 31 May. He called the launch of the Panel “an unprecedented development”.

With all the natural and man made disasters in the world, why the disproportionate focus on one incident?
Somehow, I doubt Israel can turn to the UN to get justice. Let's turn to G-d, who is just a prayer away.
For those of you who missed the song, "Just a prayer away," which I caught on the CoolJew website, click here to listen to something special.
