I don't bet on future events, so forget that bullshit. I don't have a Iranian operative and I don't care who your keeper is.

My most sincere apology on this matter.

Thanks.

It's more like "I enter your yard and don't leave until I get what I want".
You and LL and Abbas treat the situation of building as if Israel executes a Palestinian for every brick laid, while in fact it's just a political ladder for the Palestinians to climb down from the tree of talks.

Saying 'it's not as bad as a worse crime' isn't much defense. It's illegitimate 'chips'.

You're welcome.

Saying 'it's not as bad as a worse crime' isn't much defense. It's illegitimate 'chips'.

Maybe, but it's important to see it for what it is. This is completely negligible and very quickly reversible.

In this context, lets not forget the illegitimate bargaining chip was pioneered by the PLO, in multiple airplane hijacking, terror attacks and their national pride - the Munich massacre, a pride of Abbas himself. I'd feel much better if the Palestinians built illegitimate kindergartens on Israeli lands instead.

If the UN had any meaningful power people would be more apt to care about what it says.

Let's let the Jedi handle this one k?
He really likes doing these, call me names and run away crap

Runs away?????? Hardly!
You playing all innocent and all asking questions and claiming that you wanted to learn and know.

As Samur stated earlier -- these are objective?


Bias against Israel is all we have been talking about this whole thread --
Earth to Earl, Earth to Earl!

Read and comprehend what has been posted earlier.

What don`t you understand about these people that quite a few of us do understand??


The UN`s entire stand concerning israel is evidence of bias....or do yuo not understand...again...

Would we live in a better world if a majority rule of the world's failing countries told us what to do? If you want your life to be managed by Angola and North Korea, be my guest.

Any power the UN has is nullified when several opposing bodies control the veto rights. A UN with teeth is one without veto rights. That was my intent.

I agree. I think giving countries veto power is absolutely absurd.

Well, Israel is no doubt a happy camper about the veto ;)

Ambassador Charles W. Yost cast the first U.S. veto in 1970, regarding a crisis in Rhodesia, and the U.S. cast a lone veto in 1972, to prevent a resolution relating to Israel. Since that time, it has become by far the most frequent user of the veto, mainly on resolutions criticizing Israel; since 2002 the Negroponte doctrine has been applied for the use of a veto on resolutions relating to the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict. This has been a constant cause of friction between the General Assembly and the Security Council, as seen with the 2003 Iraqi war which was not endorsed by the UN.

U.N. may not have real power but is the voice of International conscience

Check to see how many times a resolution was brought up against Hamas or Fatah the Palestinians. hardly nothing at all , compared to Resolutions against Israel!

http://www.unwatch.org/site/c.bdKKISNqEmG/b.3820041/

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/talking/65_UNres.html
The UN Security Council has adopted Resolution 1860 calling for a cease-fire in Israel’s war with Hamas . It is a remarkable document that acknowledges only one party in the conflict and it is not the one that started the war. While Israel is mentioned five times in the resolution, the word “Hamas” shockingly does not appear once. Well, it would be shocking to anyone unfamiliar with the UN’s history -- http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/UN/israel_un.html

http://www.haaretz.com/news/arabs-foil-pa-condemnation-of-hamas-takeover-of-gaza-at-un-1.233458 -- Arab lobby, backed by Russia, thwarts initiaive to include criticism of Hamas in UN resolution against Israel.

You still want and desire proof that the UN is biased against Israel...lololol

I have a mixture of links......enjoy!!

So why does the UN refuse to criticize Hamas???hmmmm

Arduan's conscience, maybe. As long as some of the most oppressive regimes upon earth run the Human Rights Council, it's a joke. Today it's a political body taken hostage by US on one side and the Arab bloc on the other, used for each side's political interest as they see fit. If you're looking for universal justice, you won't find it in the UN.
