...Israel to task for the sort of things it doesn't bother to--or cannot muster a majority vote for--calling other nations to task for, Ironically, the display goes up in the same week that the U.S. embassy estimated the death toll this past year alone in El Salvador to be 5,639, more than half of which were civilians. There seems, alas, no El Salvador photo display in the offing.
