It also subtracts from the dignity of the establishment- Had it acted on all injustices the US would have had a harder time vetoing in favor of Israel, the UN might have had actual power, the power it was supposed to have, the council that governs the world.
Instead it is a puppet of so many masters that it's lost all credibility and relevance.

So you want me to discuss 97 and 429 different UN resolutions?
pffft. get real.
So while the UN has an urgent meeting every time Netanyahu farts eastwards, other and mostly bigger injustices go unnoticed and unmentioned.

Wasn't suggesting there isn't.. There's a giant fire and # load of smoke.
Was simply trying to insinuate that the UN became obsessed with every little thing that Israel does in the name of avoiding talking about what Russia is doing in the North Caucasus, or what China is doing to its own people, and everyone around it, or the insurgency in India.
That's how I see it anyway..

What other thread? Some positive opinions of Jews? nope. I think its clearly and obviously more relevant here.
If youre capable of making connections. My making mention of the lack of reporting of the Waqfs destroying archeological evidence of solomons temple, and the 2nd temple, plus the destruction of Jewish synagogues and cemetaries in old jerusalem, is quite relevant to the partiality the world community shows towards the arabs; and not israel.

Um...UN resolution 242. Calling for Israels withdrawal from the post 1967 borders; which they did,. The resolution also adjured that with this withdrawal, palestinian violence would cease. Of course this didnt happen. not only did it not happen, but terrorists continue to shoot rockets into pre-1967 borders.
Various polls have shown that palestinians do not want peace with Israel and simply use these talks to get more land; ie the motto of the oslo accord "land for peace". They want Israel Gone. If jews dont leave on their own, theyll have them leave in coffins.
Plenty of Arab politicians have mocked Israels stupidity "we get land witth military bases, developed infrastructure and they get a piece of paper!"edit on 13-1-2011 by dontreally because: (no reason given)
Israel have done their fair share of destroying.. The sympathy card has been done to death...
