SezWho2 very though provoking - thank you.

Since 1967 the UN has passed over 130 resolutions touching the Arab/Israeli dispute. 88 of those resolutions have condemned Israel.
1. to exercise continuous sovereign authority ... clearly does not apply to the UN because its not a country. 3. to control, direct,…

SezWho2 once more your comments merit close consideration. Please explain to me the role and function of Ban Ki Moon and his relationship with the Security Council? If the Security Council "determines" policies of State, why does the UN need to be apart of the "quartet"? I suggest that you…

SezWho2 the UN has to have a mandate. Have you ever read their Charter. If you simply compare the UN charter with the League of Nations charter you can not ignore the similarities. The two are like twin brothers! The Security Council in the UN definitely calls the shots. But…

Mister Obama has spoken of agreeing to UN imposed taxes upon the citizens of the United States? When the UN can impose and collect international taxes, that's not a weak Government! That effectively changes the role of Washington to a State Government and the UN usurps the role of Federal…

An agreement to what, that's the question! Hamas has yet to recognize the validity of the Jewish state, openly declares the right to all of "Palestine". Now what elected official representing the Jewish People could agree with that? Abbas, leader of the Palestinian of the "West Bank"? His own people…

sezwho2 you make fine points. But the waters of the UN mandate have no clarity. The UN has its roots from the League of Nations. That's an undisputable fact. President Wilson's 13 points following the first world war, both England and France ignored except for the establishment of the League…

SexWho2 thank you i very much enjoyed learning your perspective.

Still, it seems to me that a few questions remain. As I understand the history of the current ME dispute, the League of Nations in 1919 voted to give the British a mandate to establish a Jewish State. This original…

The father of the current Syrian dictator murdered 10s of thousands of his own people, a different Muslim sect for sure, but still those Muslims were citizens - supposedly. Do brutal dictators who hold power at the point of a gun have any credibility?

The Palestinians, these folks talk like they have equality rather than the begger they in fact are. Their society exists because of passing the hat. I honestly do not think they are capable of running their own country. Let's see, Arofat dies and their people go into a civil war.…

The Palestinians and the United Nations said the move was largely insignificant ... When did the UN switch from being a forum for Nations to conduct diplomacy among States to becoming a World governing body? It amazes me that people are not alarmed by this usurpation of Nation State Independence…
