What of the non-Muslim votes? Have you got just as handy a manner in which to dismiss those too?
Reads to me like we do here in America when it comes to what the Democrats think vs the Republicans...
Well of course they disagree, what else might you expect? Accordingly, why give any attention to that other point of view? They NEVER agree with us, so they MUST be wrong...
I disregard as meaningless all UN general assembly resolutions. Because they're nothing but name-calling and/or political nonsense.

I didn't ask what you think about resolutions. I asked what you thought of the votes you can't dismiss as Muslim, or Arab? In other words, the reason(s) for them...
What you call "name-calling and/or political nonsense" describes our own American political system perfectly, as often done by most people in this forum. Should we end that too?
Only the fool doesn't recognize that one man's name-calling and/or political nonsense is another man's heart-felt truth. Similarly, only a fool chooses to listen only to those who only agree. Even worse the fool who disregards dissenting opinion. The biggest fool of all that won't allow it...

I don't think about them.
As I've said, I disregard them.

Of course not.
The GOP's self destruction is very entertaining.

Only the fool gets his knickers in a knot over meaningless trivia.

You said you disregard U.N. resolutions. The countries who vote on those resolutions and the reasons they do is not a function of the U.N. (but never mind what might be a little too complicated for you to address any better for now).
Perhaps the biggest fool of all is one who attempts to engage another with at least some reason and logic, in this case to suggest why dismissing dissenting opinion as you do is a mistake, hoping for at least some similar level of reason and logic, only to get a response like this one above instead.

I don't dismiss dissenting opinions. I just don't get wrapped around the axle over UN resolutions that are empty nothings.
But by all means, feel free to pump up your blood pressure if it has deep meaning to you.
UN general assembly resolutions. The ones I've referred to in each post. Somehow you missed that?
I wrote before that perhaps the biggest fool is one who attempts to engage another with at least some reason and logic, in this case to suggest why dismissing dissenting opinion as you do is a mistake, hoping for at least some similar level of reason and logic...
And as that hope continues, I can assure you have no need to worry about my blood pressure or getting "wrapped around an axle." Just trying to make sense of someone who claims they don't dismiss dissenting opinion while all the while doing exactly that.
I wonder, when it comes to this dissenting opinion that you don't dismiss, related to the United States, Israel and the Palestinians, who's opinion is that? I also wonder if you just don't know much about the United Nations or if it's that you just don't like to hear from the United Nations. Mostly a head-in-sand perspective as best I can tell, but I think I've exhausted the effort to get much better, so I'll leave it at that.
Perhaps you've got all the better ideas, but just FYI and/or for the record:
"The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict."
At the heart of most of these threads related to the Middle East, a real concern, at least for me, is to avoid WWIII. That's something maybe worthy of axle wrapping, far as most people are concerned anyway...
