Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?

Conversation starter.

One must not stand silent in the face of a second Holocaust, the Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová said as she called on her country to withdraw from the United Nations to protest its failure to condemn Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

She spoke of her outrage one day after the UN General Assembly voted 120-14 for a ceasefire for the Gaza War, which focused primarily on the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza.

The UNGA resolution which also had 45 abstentions, did not mention or clearly call for the release of the 230 hostages the terror group took captive on that day.

  1. Is there any reason why Hamas should not be rounded up and simply shot whenever and wherever they are found? After all, this was what was done to the SS in 1944-45. You do not negotiate with rabid animals; you kill them immediately.

    1. Clearly they weren’t thorough enough. Had they been, that withered old Nazi would have been too dead to immigrate to Canada, let alone be applauded by Parliament.

      1. I tend to agree with you, PS. Canada was something of a haven for Nazis of all sorts after 1945. Argentina got the bad rep, but for those who could slip through, Canada was a favoured destination. So it’s not surprising that Canada was a fertile place for creeps like Ernst Zundel or James Keegstra.

        And it’s probably no surprise that the government of Canada concealed most of the contents of the Deschenes Commission report on war criminals in Canada. The commission was badly flawed, whitewashing that gang of murderers called the 14th (Galicia) SS Division.

        Modern people are so effing stupid. 80 years ago, Canadian soldiers were shooting and killing SS scum on European battlefields. Or being massacred by them as evidenced by the slaughter at the Ardenne Abbey in June, 1944. And yet, thanks to Justatwat, the House of Commons applauded one of these murderers in the House and held a special reception for him.

      2. Canada certainly did admit a lot of ex-Nazis and tantamount-to-Nazis. And they proved to be good citizens. We also admitted a lot of Jews, and they mostly proved to be good citizens too, although a disturbing number chose to work against this country and to collaborate with enemy powers to do it. The criminals using taxpayers money to slander their neighbours as terrorists do not come from Nazi backgrounds. By the prevailing standards, didn’t we do rather well by letting these Nazis in? Show me an immigrant group with a better track record.

  2. U.N. – Useless Nonsense. It’s absurd that so many countries that practice no functional democracy at home expect enforced democratic votes in this assembly.

  3. The winners of WW2 cooked up the UN to ban wars through diplomacy.. A we win forever scheme that has grown corrupt.. Two things they can agree upon.. The UN wants your money and 90% of the place hates Jews.. Beyond that Its not going to stop WW3.. The world has not come together and any mandates they have cooked up ignore human rights.. Like all governments, the UN picks winners and losers.. Nothing clean about that..

    WW2 is long gone.. So is everything else from 75 years ago.. The UN has no mandate anymore..

    1. I agree. The UN is rather a fraud. You are right how it originated. Its mission was indeed to prevent war in Europe, and we see now how badly it failed at that starting in 2021.

      It has had no mission since the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. Its new self-imposed mission is global warming. It has been trying to make this happen for the past 30 years, and its been a record of absolute failure, just like its “peace in Europe” mission.

      Worse, the Security Council permanent members were to be United States, Soviet Union, Britain, France, China. How was it that Russia simply assumed the seat which belonged to the USSR? Russia was simply a component of the larger entity which disintegrated.

      1. When it came to preventing war in Europe, the UN failed at it in 1992.

        The entity that has had no mission since 1991 is NATO, as the organization’s reason for existing came apart between 1989 and 1991. These days NATO is just America’s club, that they use to beat everyone they dislike. The days where it was a legitimate defensive alliance are long over, and NATO really needs to be disbanded, not expanded.

        As for Russia being on the Security Council, well in 1991 the UN was still a relatively legitimate entity, and no one wanted to destroy that over something stupid like whether or not the Russian Federation was the lawful successor to the USSR. (It is, btw.) The legitimacy of the UN was largely destroyed in the mid to late 1990s over the response to the breakup of Yugoslavia, with the final blow being struck in 1999 by NATO.

        1. Agreed. New York city would be improved if someone drove a truck through the front door of the Tombstone on the Hudson.

      2. Cgh .
        Its new self-imposed mission is global warming.
        Yes.
        Global warming is more important than Genocide, NUCLEAR Winter, NUCLEAR War, Famine, Medical Experience for babies the Plague of Covid-19 Bat Soup. Electrical Grids,. Snow plowing.
        Global warming is the world’s largest Disaster for all human history . / Galia
        Amen

      3. The USSR was a Russian empire, its permanent seat on the Security Council was always Russia’s.

    2. It is one of two 1940s-era institutions that have outlived the purpose for which they were created. And that Canada should withdraw from immediately. The other is NATO.

      1. Ironically, Canada voted against the creation of Israel at the UN vote in 1947. As noble and honorable then as now.

  4. Driving to Seattle from San Francisco … my first such trip in 1976 … and I still recall a GIANT billboard in Southern Oregon alongside I-5 … it simply read: “Get US out of the UN”

    We’re 47 years too late

  5. Getting rid the UN won’t change the hostility that much, maybe most, of the 3rd world feels towards the west. To them Canada is the same as the US is the same as the UK, and Liberal is the same as Conservative, Democrat the same as Republican (some truth in both those latter statements). Other than saving some money, I can’t see the point of leaving the UN.

    It would be like saying the government of Canada is profoundly dysfunctional so I refuse to participate in elections. Where exactly does that get you?

    1. “Other than saving some money…”

      That’s the point: the UN is wholly dependent upon funding from rich western nations like Canada and the US. Cut off the money and the Tombstone on the Hudson starts to collapse. Preferrably into the river complete with the denizens still inside.

  6. The only thing Canada should be involved with is NORAD.
    The UN is an abomination and NATO is a fckn death trap.
