“I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Fidel Castro,” began the president of the General Assembly, Peter Thomson of Fiji. He described the Cuban dictator as “one of the iconic leaders of the 20th century, with a great love for his homeland and the Cuban people, he dedicated his life to their welfare and development.” […]

They must be softening their stance. A few years ago NOTHING would have caused them to take a break in the middle of bashing Israel...

A tad childish perhaps, but that ‘minute’ would have been an entirely fitting time for a world-class fart/s.

I am normally not childish and immature (my mommy said so!) but if I were in that room I would have made sure I had a big meal of beans and broccoli and milk of magnesia and let one rip right in the middle of that ‘minute of silence’.

The U.N Assembly broke out in wild foaming-at-the-mouth cheering before turning their demonic hellish rage upon the Jewish Nation of Israel- The choking smell of sulfur was thick in the general assembly room

I don’t suppose the UN ever had a moment of silence for the victims of Fidel and Raul Castro and their hitman Che Guevara, did they?
