JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel will re-assess its ties with the United Nations following the adoption by the Security Council of a resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlement building, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.
The vote was able to pass the 15-member council on Friday because the United States broke with a long-standing approach of diplomatically shielding Israel and did not wield its veto power as it had on many times before - a decision that Netanyahu called "shameful".

As a member, the US is bound by their hijinks.
Yes; to veto all resolutions and double the rent, maybe triple it.
i would give the UN to the end of 2016 to be gone
WE CAN’T DO THAT! It will upset John Kerry!
post of the thread
Are we? The UN has no teeth without our say-so. How many resolutions against Iraq did they pass? Which country finally did something about it at tremendous expense in lives and money?
If we leave, then we have no say in the process at all.
Stay in the UN, but VETO everything no matter what.
Nothing would get passed. And only pay $1 a year to keep our membership and veto.
Only if it gives us easier access to the UN building to plant the dynamite charges.... then we can leave.
One of the more transparent moles, and uncovered too late once FDR was out of the picture.
Trump should have warned that if the anti-Israel measure passed in the SC he would eliminate all funding to the UN and would explore the possibility of leaving the body and asking them to vacate NYC.
The UN is nothing more than an evil joke...
He and his "friends" refuse to leave and start billing you for the food and accommodations, in addition to asking for spending money to rent further accommodations and airfare to unknown climes in search of more fees to further their own aspirations. You have seen the writing on the wall for some time but the crowd living at your expense is so large, you see no way to extricate yourself from this debacle without reaping the wrath of all the freeloaders.
That is where we are. Stop this nonsense, stop paying for the UN to laugh at us while they destroy our culture and continue to laugh and get fat at our expense.
Ever since the UN rushed in and saved those 300 Christian girls from being beaten, raped and sold into slavery bu Boko Haram, I have been 110% behind the UN. Oh wait, the UN rcuse party has not landed yet. The UN is useless.
NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to Carroll Quigley in “Tragedy and Hope” the original purpose of the UN was to preserve national sovereignty. It has strayed so far from it’s original intent that it now is openly supporting world government and the NWO.
Besides, what war has the UN ever stopped?
Get out, it’s not worth the money. Move it to Belgium and let the UN officials deal with the Muslim problem (that they helped to create) face to face.
Absolutely, we must stay. Without US veto in Security Council (which Obama wasted and stabbed Israel in the process,) US could not prevent anti-US resolutions, which have the force of international law.
That said, we must reduce or eliminate funding if they don’t do what pleases us.
It’s the power of the purse.
I always thought it should be moved to Mogadishu and Somalia turned into a worldwide refugee resettlement area.
UN wasn’t even a decent idea when it was first proposed and makes even less sense now
Friends close and enemies closer? All of our enemies are in one room, too
