The UN is a meddling organization with an agenda. They are full of bureaucrats that are living off of the members contributions. The US pays entirely too much of the budget and gets all the blame. The UN regularly puts countries on the Human Rights Council that have horrendous records of abuse of Human Rights. The UN needs as much reform as our 2 party political system. They are both full of corruption and good old boys clubs. Reform them both or abolish them. I guess you can see my feelings about the UN now?

Palestinians = suicide bombers.

About 5% of Palestineans are suicide bombers. (rough guess)
About 5% of IDF are AVH stormtroopers.

I commend you on not playing the Al Sharpton inspired Jew race card.

No, not at all! "Never Again" means never again to any human or race. I would not matter to me who is committing the terrorism and who the victims are.

Denying people of basic human rights is just plain wrong! The race is not an issue.

Now let's see how genuine you are. Are the Israeli innocent people that are killed by suicide bombers just casualties or are they also innocents killed by terrorist? Do you have any sympathy for what Israel has to go through living among people that want them wiped off the face of the planet?

Oh and BTW the UN is a corrupt organization and it is well documented.
I believe that ANY killing is wrong, especially of innocent families, children, and civilians. I also believe that denying basic human rights to any person or country in inherently wrong.

I Would like to see you documentation that the UN is corrupt. Remember, being corrupt is not just because you happen to disagree with them.

Do only the Jews now have human rights? I only want basic human rights for all people. We cannot be racist in any situation when it comes to human rights and needs.

You would do yourself a favor if you would do a little research so that you really knew the history of why things are the way they are in the Middle East. To blame Israel for everything is just denial of the facts, plain and simple.
The conflict "way back" has nothing to do with the innocent Palestinian families and children there now. Basic human rights and needs trump all else. I would believe the God that created ALL people would agree with me on that.

To believe what you wrote would mean we must give America back to the Native Americans and the rest of us should get back on the boat.

I believe in upholding human rights and needs of all people, PERIOD!

The UN has had scandal after scandal. An organization is only as good as its members.

If you have any intellectual honesty, I will assume you do read on.
