I don’t think American Jews really care about Israel.

Heck, from articles I’ve read from leftist Israeli papers, it seems that even some Israelis don’t even care about Israel’s continued existence.

[ANGGAPO]

How can we get this bunch of social misfits that call themselves the UN out of our country? There has to be a way.

[antiRepublicrat]

Aw, and we just missed another anniversary where we should have all been saddened and lamented one of our creations: October 24, the birthday of the UN.

The General Assembly is scheduled to adopt another six resolutions condemning only Israel for violations of human rights. The total number of resolutions criticizing Israel expected to be adopted at this fall's General Assembly is 20, as compared to only four resolutions critical of human rights records in any of the remaining 191 UN member nations.

[Patriot Babe]

Yes we should, and I think the United States should perform a
full post post partial birth abortion on the UN =)

[B4Ranch]

It is the truth.

Straight UN Facts

UN member states - democratic?

Number of UN member states that are full-fledged democracies or "fully free" according to Freedom House: 89

Number of UN member states: 192

Percentage of UN member states which are full-fledged democracies: 46%

This is the prominent UN public display which was used to mark the commemoration of "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" on November 29, 2005. The Palestinian flag is on one side. The UN flag is on the other side. A map without the UN member state of Israel stands between them.

This map was prominently displayed by the UN on November 29, 2005 at a public gathering at UN Headquarters, in the presence of all top three UN officials, the Secretary General, and the Presidents of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly. It purports to be a "map of Palestine." Israel, a UN member state for 56 years, is not on the map. Even the UN General Assembly partition lines of November 29, 1947 marking a Jewish and Arab state, which pre-date this 1948 map, do not appear.

As the "map of Palestine" without the state of Israel stands in the background, Secretary-General Kofi Annan addresses the public meeting at UN Headquarters. The anniversary of the UN partition vote that survivors of the concentration camps celebrated, has been described by Secretary-General Annan as "a day of mourning and a day of grief." Palestinians, and Arab citizens more generally, refer to it as part of "Al-Nakba," meaning the "catastrophe" of the creation of the state of Israel.

In a moment which has been crafted to include the commemoration of suicide-bombers (from left to right) Nasser Al-Kidwa, Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority, President of the UN Security Council Andrey Denisov, President of the UN General Assembly Jan Eliasson, Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People Paul Badji, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, (and two others) rise at the outset of the November 29th UN meeting with these words from the Chair. "I invite everyone present to rise and observe a minute of silence in memory of all those who have given their lives for the cause of the Palestinian people and the return of peace between Israel and Palestine."

Yes, no kidding - we should’ve withdrawn from the (sinister) UN long ago.

regarding the earlier poster - “”The film draws parallels between the Nazis’ final solution and the alleged Zionist design for Palestinians.””

What the h*** has this world come to??? The above is such an obscene thing to say.

I tell you what, it was a real delight to watch 24 tonight and see a UN worker portrayed as a wishy-washy terrorist sympathizer who

1. after being asked to help school kids with his UN truck, stated that “the United Nations remains neutral in such matters,”
2. which prompted Jack Bauer say “why don’t you go hide in the shelter with the OTHER children?”
3. after which he DID,
4. then he ran away in his UN truck,
5. was quickly snagged by murdering rebels, who smacked him in the mouth a bit,
6. which prompted him to give up the location of said school kids.

It was the most beautifully accurate portrayal of reality I’ve ever seen, in a way that one never sees from the mainstream media, who are supposed to report the facts and hardly ever do - United Nations, excellent case in point. Art imitates life, indeed.

We must really have no self-respect to remain in this organization.

[Shadowstrike]

And I actually weep every October 24th.

It’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

It's the UN; pure theatre over function. Pallywood over truth. Jihad over peace.

I vote to stop paying UN dues. Let them pay for their own misadventures. Not in my name.

[wastedyears]

I would guess the ones that don’t have connections to Israel, don’t care about it. The ones that do, like those that immigrated here, children of Israelis, especially those that had family die during the Holocaust, may care greatly about Israel.

My opinion, we need Israelis to stand up and make their voices heard, rather than the lack of any noise from those without connections to Israel.

[wastedyears]

Oh good, at least it’s not October 14th. At least I can be happy when my birthday rolls around. Though if the UN was born on the 14th, I’d be sad every time my birthday rolls around.

[huldah1776]

I’ve been in mourning since 9pm November 4, 2008.

[huldah1776]

I would sing the Israel national anthem during the “silence”. As a matter of fact, I say all Freepers download a copy and play it at that same time!

[rfreedom4u]

Just like the UN to create problems. The UN could screw up a wet dream. We should kick them out of NY. Let them build their headquarters in Crapistan.

What a great ideal. How odd I didn’t know that the UN was going to do this on Monday. For some reason 2 weeks ago I downloaded the song. I believe that Israel National Anthem
“Hatikvah” is such a beautiful song that when I hear it, it brings me to shedding a tear. When I hear it, I hear
Pain, but Determination, Sacrifice, Strength and Courage.
