Is there a reason why the US should stay in the UN?

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.

They need to set up their world headquarters in Somalia. That way it will help the Somali economy and the UN can show how much compassion they have. A win win for those screw worms.☺

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.

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...

The UN ("United Nations"), a parable. A neighbor you barely know asks to stay the night. Out of the goodness of your heart, you acquiesce and let him. For a while, he minds his manors at the dinner table, and thanks you for the food and lodging. This continues for some time and you wonder how long this can go on. Suddenly, everything has changed; he has invited his scofflaw friends to your home and dinner table, and all these freeloaders and their cars are taking your parking spaces and refusing to pay for any meals, they are also refusing to pay for citations, forwarding the fines to you.

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.

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.

Is there any reason the UN should stay in the US?

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
