The Obama-approved body maintains a “Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories [sic].” The current rapporteur is American college professor Richard Falk, a 9/11 “truther” who once posted an anti-Semitic cartoon on his personal blog.

Romney's campaign needs to get out and get this in the airwaves.... Obama promised in the last debate that he would stand by Israel.... so now is the time for Obama to stand by Israel.

I don’t advocate kicking the UN out of NY. That is too obvious and creates too many martyrs. Rather, I support a policy of slow and steady strangulation of the organization from within.

I give the US about a 50% chance of surviving a barky 2nd term. Israel, OTOH, I give about a 15% chance.

The United Nations originated as an organization dedicated to world peace, but has ended up a forum for demented thugs, third world idiots, crooks, tyrants and would-be tyrants, professional liars, and communist agitators.

It has long since outlived its usefulness, should be defunded and shunned, and the real estate turned into a spacious parking ramp for the convenience of New Yorkers and visitors to the city.

It’s past time the UN was invited to leave this country.

Boycott is something individuals do. When states do it, it’s an embargo.

No joke. He declared it on Oct 23. See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2950093/posts

Yesterday was United Nations Day, by proclamation of Obama.

Obama asks the UN to go to the 50 States to observes election. Obama declare a national UN day. UN HR committee calls for boycott of USA companies...

I’ve been hearing a lot of UN ‘BS’ recently. I sure hope bambi does not get to feeling too froggy after he loses the election - and tries calling in his UN b-buddies for help.

Little chance of this amounting to anything, because any country attempting such actions would be hit by retaliatory tariffs or import bans affecting access to the US market.

Porsche
BMW
Volkswagen
Mercedes Benz
Toyota
Nissan
Subaru
Hyundai
Samsung
Sony
Volvo
Airbus
etc.

They should send back any life-saving drugs and cease using any US-originated medical treatments, including clean water treatments as well.
