The Palestinians say they are sounding out members of the U.N. Security Council on a new resolution demanding a halt to Israeli settlement building and about prospects for becoming a full member of the United Nations.

Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour said Thursday he has met about half the 15-member council in the last 10 days and expects to meet the rest in the next week. He said he will then report back to the Arab ministerial committee which will decide on next steps. …

It’s now open season on Israelis.

I think the USA should quit the UN altogether and then the Palestinians can have our old seat on the GA and Security Council. And they can pay the UN as much every year as we used to.

(I know there’s no such country as Palestine, but that can be the UN’s problem.)

I’ve advocated that for years, probably 20 plus.

The problem is, there would go our veto power.

We would also come under resolution after resolution after resolution..., the U.N. run by Russia and China.

There really is no easy fix to this situation.

Europe has it’s collective head up it’s...

The people at the U. N. do.

It’s startling to see what passes for reasoned logic for the whole lot of them.

No reason to be a nation to join the United Nations anymore. Advocating genocide is no longer a bar, though they won't change the charter. The President would be on board for that.
