Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?

They shouldn't just refuse funding - though that would do serious damage, given the USA has always been the biggest donor - they should insist the UN move elsewhere. True, the businesses around the current UN headquarters would suffer (mostly, I suspect, those whose clientele were the high-living UN employees, ambassadors, ambassadorial staff, etc.). But think of the gain in decreased security, not to mention the many fewer traffic violations racked up by those with exempt status.

This comfirms Cruz would have been a good choice. Makes me wonder; how good a choice is the guy who climbed over Cruz's body going to turn out to be? If he was willing to throw Cruz under, where would he draw the line?

Call girl operations in Manhattan will be devastated.

the UN should cease to exist. It has become a pointless waste of money and a den of dictators.

Oh sure.
Cruz will talk it to death.
Trump will act.
Politician.
Businessman.

I agree, Cruz would have been a fine choice.

Well, if the US ever thtopped paymenth, Juthtin would pick up the thlack.

"My conclusion is that civilian settlement in the administered territories contravenes the explicit provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention."
Theodor Meron, legal counsel to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, 1967

Just getting rid of the IPCC would be golden. Let the rich social justices of nyc redistribute their money where their mouths are and turn the building into a homeless shelter and foot the bill. No more TROA money for you to party on and redistribute to despots.

In realiy this vote was to prevent further building on their own land!

This one is hard. Israel is wrong.

Lets do a comparison: Israel was formed by Jewish refugees being imported into a land who's population didn't want the. Worse, they refused to integrate, but insisted on preserving their own foreign culture and insisting that the native inhabitants accept it, and in a lot of cases adapt to it.

Now replace Israel with Europe, Jews with middle eastern refugees, Judaism with Islam.

See the parallels?

Now imagine some rich asshole (Soros, for example) buying large tracts of land in GermanyFrance/UK and giving it members of this foreign hoard, who build houses on it, and begin importing more muslims to inhabit these developments - native people need not apply. Muslim occupants take up arms to protect their enclaves

Now do you see the problem?

Want to know who makes up the U.N. and some of the Councils. Here are some telling links to their site:

Here is a list of the total membership. I wonder how many are Democracy's? I believe less than half, but I am no expert.: http://www.un.org/en/member-states/index.html

Here is a list of the Security Council members: http://www.un.org/en/sc/members/

Here is a list of the Human Rights Council members, (you know the ones responsible for telling countries like Canada if they are behaving properly): http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pages/Membership.aspx

I think Kate has it Right when asking if we are still a member of this thing.

Yes, this one is hard. You have left out some things. Not all Jews left the mideast. They were spread around geographically. The map of the mideast at the time of the "birth" of Israel was not the map that exsists now. Not all Arabs are the same. There were lots of tribes if you will and most of them like the Jews nomads without countries without borders.. Just as the French and English came to north america and brought with them their wars and nationalism. The european world brought their war to the mideast and "nationalism" good or bad was brought to these nomadic people. To survive in this world you must have a country. That is why Israel was born. Now the powers that be have deicided that countries are a liability it is harder to enslave people so they are trying to destroy countries with globalism. The current refugee crisis is an invading army. The myth of the displaced families is a lie. Yes some families are among the invaders but just to add cover . Most of the invaders are military aged men who are doing what conquering armies do rape and pillage.
We need homes that are secure because some of our neighbors will take what we have and maybe kill us. We need countries that are secure for the same reason. The map of the mideast was drawn in blood during war the Jews won a piece of it. Time to let them hold it. We aren't going to give this America back to the native Americans and Israel isn't going to give their land back either.

UN Security Council resolutions against Israel during administration of:

Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) 21
Barack Obama (2009-2016) 1

Simpler yet:
Whatever story there is surrounding Israel it is too good to be judged by the creeps who constantly fault it.

BTW did you hear the Israelis made a major breakthrough in finding a cure for AIDS.

Phillip,

Perhaps all the Arab countries should get together and physically force the Jews in Judea, Samaria, Golan and green-line Israel to leave.

I'm sure a brave individual such as yourself would take up arms to aid them. Leaving soon? Gaza is quite pleasant this time of year.

Let us know how it all works out for you.

Heh, a long way down from manna and quail raining from heaven...now dependent on welfare from US and some one world body's resolutions...

Donald Trump is not a fan of the United Nations – he simply has no patience for lollygagging and indecisive politically correct banter.

“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. It’s not a friend to freedom,” Donald Trump said at the AIPAC conference in Washington. “It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home. And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel.”

Donald Trump repeatedly received resounding rounds of applause during his AIPAC speech – a feat many Repubican establishment types said would not happen. The front runner said any United Nations deal to force an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians should be blocked because it further de-legitimatizes Israel, the Hill reports.

“The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in return. What they’re trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace,” Trump concluded.

The United Nations is all talk and not action 98 percent of the time.

When the U.N. does act, it wants to fund its projects primarily by American taxpayer dollars AND tends to create programs which amount to spitting on the Constitution – like Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.

Neither the United States of America nor Israel are democracies, The USA is a republic (making Donald Trump the President=elect , thank God.,). I think of Israel as a very complicated theocray.
There will never be peace, just intermittent exhumation until everyone reloads.

The UN is an organization whose sole purpose is to legitimize the voices of tin pot dictators and enemies of freedom and western civilization. Palestinians, at least those that speak for them, want dead Jews more than their own state. Being the bottom of the barrel of the Islamic wastelands doesn't bode well for nation building. The Jewish state was originated by imperialist powers but has since paid for its territory in blood twice in war and continuously in counter-terrorism, much like most of the world's nations.
