UN still wishes to punish Israel for Osiraq

On the 7th of June, 1981, Israel attacked and destroyed Iraq's plutonium reactor (supplied by that disgusting French slug Chirac).
All right thinking persons and organizations would discard immediately any notion of punishing a country for doing the world such a favour. But such is the corruptness of the UN: Countries (France comes to mind here) who sell WMD and other abhorrent shit to abhorrent countries for a lot of money must be able to convince their clients that no one will destroy their new toys (like Israel did). Saddam Hussein was a good customer, better than most. It must have pissed the French off something terrible, because Hussein was not going to buy anything new until he was SURE the French (or SOMEONE) could put a leash on the Jews. Well, the UN has not stopped trying to do just that since 1948. And a new attempt is under way:
'The Israeli delegation to the UN was surprised this week to find "The Armed Israeli Attack on the Atomic Installations of Iraq" on the agenda for the current UN session. Aryeh Mekel, Israel's Deputy Ambassador to the UN, sent a letter to the General Assembly president, writing, "The General Assembly's agenda must reflect the world reality, in order for the UN to be able to make a relevant and significant contribution to world matters... At first glance, it appears that inserting this old issue is more comical than anything else, but in truth, it shows the built-in problems that must be overcome in order to make the General Assembly an effective organ."'

Iraq was then the 3rd largest oil producer in the world. It had only military purposes for its nuclear plant.
Go here and especially here for an indepth analysis of the why and how, and especially of why it was NOT unlawful for Israel to strike.
