MY BEEF WITH THE UN
One sad, yet inherent flaw of the UN is the moral equivalency between all the members. The UN will only chastise, condemn and hold accountable members if there is enough member support for the action. This leads to a disgusting amount of hypocrisy and turns the UN into a sham. Nations with terrible human rights records can gang together and criticize another nations human rights, even if in 'real life' the condemned nation has much better human rights.
The UN is controlled by its members. It will only be as idealistic, pure and worthy as the majority of its members allow it to be. Unfortunately the history of the UN has shown it has not come close to living up to the lofty and idealistic goals of its founding UN CHARTER
This is especially true regarding the rampant anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli sentiment that has permeated itself within the UN. There is a large pro-Muslim, pro-Arab, anti-semetic bloc that wields a huge amount of power in the UN. This bloc constantly gangs up on Israel and the USA for violating human rights and being racist. The worst part about this is the hypocrisy, because they ignore reality, they ignore or even support their own blatant racism and human rights violations. Yet they will never bring attention to this at the UN and since they are the majority they get away with it.
Most of Europe has sided with the anti-semetic camp (make your own assumptions if anti-semitism is alive and well in Europe). The rest of the world remains indifferent and chooses to abstain (didn't indifference let the Holocaust happen?).
In the latest round of hypocrisy and ganging up against Israel at the UN the USA was so disgusted they abandoned the conference.
CONFERENCE AGAINST RACISM
Well at least Israel and the US have Micronesia and the Marshal Islands on their side PACIFIC ISLANDERS FOR ISRAEL Who woulda thunk it?
