Today's quiz: Nearly 200 nations hold membership in the United Nations. How many have a right to exist?
Let's ask the question differently. How many of the world body's member states have a capital which even its closest ally cannot bring itself to recognize?
This is it.
One hundred and ninety-one nations, and only one lacks the "right to exist" in the eyes of fellow states.
No other country even has a "right to exist." No other country needs one.
Next up: What does a country have to do to lose its inherent right to exist?
A cautionary note. This is a trick question.
If you answered genocide, arguably the worst-case scenario, you'd be way wrong.
No one questions Turkey's right to exist. This after the deaths of more than a million Armenians beginning in 1915.
Nor did they expect Cambodia, which under the Khmer Rouge may have killed 2,000,000 people, to lose its membership in the community of nations.
Pakistan has no right-to-exist issue. This, after Bangladesh, 1971. The Rape of Nanking during Japan's wartime occupation of China? Japan gets to stay on the map.
Germany? Let's not even go there.
So why is it so hard for some people to recognize the right of Israel to exist?
A. The Jews have no need of - and therefore no right to - a state of their own because, as it is, they own everything, in particular the banks and the mass media, and because everything they don't own, they somehow control.
B. The occupation of Palestine is the greatest crime in the history of man's inhumanity to the innocent.
C. The very existence of Israel constitutes the signal humiliation of the Arab Muslim peoples in the modern era.
D. Only Muslims are allowed to conquer, occupy, claim, annex and

The UN has no 'right to exist'.
I doubt that even the capable John Bolton can straighten out this mess (the UN) even though he is trying. The whole thing has to be tubed. The US, as usual, has to take the lead in this. Kick them out of New York. Let them relocate in some third world hell hole like Mogadishu. Form a new organization like "United Free Nations". Make it a little harder to get in.

"I was surprised the Hebrew Palestinian newspaper printed it."
Burston is Jekyll & Hyde. One minute he's attacking every aspect of Israeli life in the most derogatory terms. The next minute he comes up with an article like this.
Read the second half.
See what I mean about Jekyll & Hyde.
Truly - in the same article.
Bolton, I agree is capable, but he's only there for damage control.
The UN rabble is intractably hostile to our interests. Unfortunately, the Dutch have a higher probability of expelling all their Muslim guests than we have of expelling the UN.

"The UN must be stopped if democracy is to be saved."
I agree. It is, in many ways, an organisation which is every bit as evil as the Third Reich.
""The UN must be stopped if democracy is to be saved." "
Move it to Gaza. Then make Gaza an international city.
When did the Useless Nations come to exist? I think it might be old enough to take a dirt nap,
It's overdue..
