NOTE: I could not sleep last night so I turned on a program called DEMOCRACY NOW without knowing what it was. As an aside, I only have TV to watch FOX NEWS and football. Back to the point. I was amazed at the crap I was watching. TRUMP IS RIGHT --- DEFUND PUBLIC BROADCASTING ASAP.

For the first time, a United Nations agency has directly accused Israel of imposing an "apartheid regime" on the Palestinian people. The report also urges governments to "support boycott, divestment and sanctions [BDS] activities and respond positively to calls for such initiatives." The findings come in a new report published by the U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, which is comprised of 18 Arab states. For more, we speak with the co-author of the report, Richard Falk. He’s professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University and previously served as the U.N. special rapporteur on Palestinian human rights.

The UN is as reliable as the CBC! Phooey!
For proof of how consistent and reliable the Congressional Black Caucus is just ask yourself how they have handled the Miriam Carey case. Most of you probably do not know who she was!

Trump was wrong. Funding for the UN should be cut by 120%. Ask for our money back.

Wonder how well the mighty blue helmet invasion force will do up against the IDF.

1. If the so-called “Palestinians” would refrain from acts of terror, they’d be treated as full equals. Meanwhile, because no one can know a person’s intentions, all of them have to be searched, etc. IOW, they are doing it to themselves.

2. I see that the UN has studiously avoided the racist genocides and massive, racially-motivated theft of property from whites by blacks in Rhodesia and South Africa. Until they pay some much-needed attention to that, they have exactly zero credibility with me. Less, actually: The UN has condemned tiny Israel far more for alleged human rights violations than the rest of the world combined - and that just doesn’t even FEEL right, let alone withstand any kind of objective analysis. The entire Israeli population would need to be working overtime, constantly engaging in rights violations, for the UN condemnations to be even close to accurate.

Phuck the UN!
