    I do not always agree with the U.N..

    But this time...good for them!!!

    151 for and only 6 against.

    Excellent.


    Another step towards the world recognizing Israel is slowly becoming the Apartheid of the 21'st century.

    BTW - I have nothing whatsoever against Jews (or any other religion - I think ALL major religions are utter nonsense). But I have a HUGE problem with the way Israel's government is treating the Palestinians.

    If you had nothing whatsoever against Jews, you'd have no reason to proclaim it :juggle:

    Why, standard practice to accuse anyone against Israel as antisemitic or a Muslim, he just got the truth in early!

    And I have a huge problem with how incredibly naive or duped can intelligent people in the West be. I understand why the reprehensible DNC and the putrid mainstream media would want you to believe the Palestinians are victims, their Arab neighbors merely concerned, and the Israelis the evil monsters ---- but I cannot understand for the life of me how gullible or uncaring you people can be.

    PS -- Go ask the 2 million MUSLIM ARABS living in Israel how bad they have it, especially since they are free to leave. And go ask the 2 million Jews living in Arabia and North Africa.... oh wait, I guess there are none, I forgot they were kicked out or destroyed by their govts.

    Why? Because Jordan won it in the war of 1948?

    Advancing freedom and democracy isn't one of them.

    Yeah, and Bruce Jenner is the Woman of the Year because they say so. BUT, your answer does reveal the reality of the group think occurring.

    And

    Al-Aqsa Mosque (Arabic: المسجد الاقصى‎ Al-Masjid al-‘Aqṣā, IPA: [ʔælˈmæsdʒɪd ælˈʔɑqsˤɑ] ([​IMG] listen), "the Farthest Mosque"),

    The claim is that the "farthest Mosque" that Muhammad went to in his dreams, was a mosque in Jerusalem. Its a made up myth. There was no Mosque in Jerusalem during Muhammads life.

    The UN is just a cesspool of criminal syndicates, genocidal vermin, and loons; nothing new here. Anybody who takes it's ludicrous pronouncements on anything seriously is just stupid, insane, or both.

    How long before the rest of the world is saying the same thing about us and our little pariah "greatest ally" friend?

    Find me a reason to care; we have almost zero actual 'friends' in 'the rest of the world', and most of those are in East Asia. You can cry and whine over some **** criminals wagging their fingers and sniveling but those of us who are sane could care less about the opinions of assorted crime families, dictators, and parasites loitering around in the UN buildings and hallways.

    I wonder how and when that happened. We long had a terrific relationship with Europe after WWII. They loved the US and we got along famously. Now we suddenly have no actual friends there, but rather in Asia?

    China is no friend.. They're using us. It's a relationship of convenience and economic gain, basically just business. That leaves our needy dependants South Korea and Japan. They would probably be with us until the end, for whatever that is worth.

    You are under the delusion that we ever had a lot of 'friends'; we didn't, so there was no 'happened' to change from in the first place. We had allies, and they were for the most part allies of convenience, and nothing has changed in that regard. Allies aren't 'friends', they are countries with common interests and/or common enemies or potential enemies, and will change their stances to suit their own interests at the drop of a hat.

    Agree 100%.

    In the case of Israel, and to a lesser extent Jordan, much lesser, they are the most stable and reliable in the ME, and Israel provides extensive support for our military interests, plus they aren't ruled by that batshit insane Islamo-Nazism the rest of the region is influenced by. They have all the right enemies elsewhere, too, so the annoyance factor alone makes them fun to support even without the military and intelligence aid.

    I think it goes beyond that, since we were the great liberators and rebuilders, and defenders of their freedom afterwards against the Communist threat from Soviet Russia. We have long enjoyed goodwill and had the world fascinated with our culture. I think this has been eroding, however, especially now with this president and his attitude, and the attitudes of his supporters. I can see only resentment and loss of respect and influence coming out of it. You say that their stances will change as their interests and our change, but I also see us actively moving away from our shared interests, basically bringing about our own isolation. And I don't think that is warranted. I think Trump's supporters are misinformed about what our agreements with Europe (and Asia) have meant economically, and that they're falsely blaming these foreign powers for their own economic woes. Domestic policies have failed to keep up with places like the Rust Belt, perhaps, but that is not the fault of Europe.

    Nope, an analogy you don't understand.

    What support. America trains with other ME countries FAR more often then Israel. America has ZERO bases in Israel. Israel has been caught several times spying on/stealing from the U.S.. Supporting Israel's military costs U.S. taxpayers billions every year. And many Americans have been killed in terrorist attacks due to America's support of Israel.
    And what has Israel given back for all of this? VIrtually nothing.

    Anyone who thinks that America - since the end of the Cold War - has benefited from it's ties to Israel is ignorant about recent history. Israel has been virtually nothing but a galactic pain in the butt to America since 1991.

    The analogy is a fail. The world leaders say how it is and if needs to be make it international law. That is different than your examples.

    Rubbish. It's blatantly stupid to lie about something easily verifiable, so obviously you're just here to jack off with your left wing or neo-nazi buddies, two demographics that see eye to eye when it comes to genociding Jews.

    And on the other hand, Israel has one "base" in the US, and it is Inside The Beltway in the nation's capitol.

    Take heart friend, for most of Europeans are still, and always will be our friends. These of us who are lucky (or cursed) to travel for living, see it for themselves.
