The United Nations is a completely corrupt organization that gives cover to tyrants and pedophiles, and that has made destroying Israel its primary focus. On Wednesday, even as Russian troops were massed on Ukraine's border, the U.N. Security Council found time to hold a debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Just to show how farcical the United Nations is, despite Russia being poised to attack Ukraine, the U.N. Security Council nevertheless followed its usual leadership rotation, making Vladimir Putin the Security Council chairman. Thus, Russia helmed the meeting regarding the U.N.'s obsession: Israel.
The meeting occurred just a few hours after Israel announced its support for Ukraine. Predictably, Dmitry Polyanskiy, the deputy ambassador to the U.N., announced that "Russia doesn't recognize Israel's sovereignty over Golan Heights that are part of #Syria."
Of course, since 1967, when Russia determined that the Arabs were better Cold War allies than the tiny socialist nation it once supported, Russia has had Syria's back. Although Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, the Israel-hating nations around the world, including the Soviet Union and the Russians, have refused to recognize it.

In 1980, I spent a couple of days at a Moshav (a cooperative community of farmers, unlike a kibbutz, which is a true collective), in the shadow of the Golan Heights. Bombs fell before I arrived there and after I left. I was too young and stupid to realize that I was in danger. It was only later that I understood how vulnerable I was and, by extension, how vulnerable every Israeli was in the shadow of the Golan.

Israelis will take a stand...American Jews will cower in a corner and whine.
I heard a professor from the Tufts School also mention that the Ukraine also has a key role in the semiconductor supply chain, as the world’s biggest producer of neon gas (a natural resource, used in the lithography process).
Yes, resources to be had. Israel/Turkey were working on a pipeline to feed Europe.
Ukraine is quite a prize. The acquisition of wealth has throughout history has been the core motive for invasion and conquering of neighboring nations. Its important that your point should not be forgotten when analyzing this situation.
Agreed. Get your house in order.
A perfect fit for the “American” Thinker.
I wonder how many other US politicians have “connections” to the Ukraine? Maybe some money laundering going on there.
He’s going for broke while Slow Joe is president.
Corruption rots any culture.

That, more than the Olympics in Peking, entered into Putin’s timing of his assault on Ukraine.
It time to close down the UN it’s a waste of money
If we turn Israel lose God will judge us as Babylon the ho..
Jerusalem is a cup of trembling.
I stand by my previous GFYSUN.
I don’t know where you were in 1980, but Israel has held the Golan Heights since June 1967 so it is unlikely the Syrians were lobbing rockets into the Galilee after that. Of course Hamas and its ilk have been doing so ever since, from Lebanon, Gaza and elsewhere, but not from the Golan.
I also stayed at a Kibbutz on the border and toured the Golan in 1999, just prior to the second intifada. You can see all of the Syrian bunkers (which spy Eli Cohen mapped prior to the 67 war) and gun emplacements.
It was not a tenable situation and the reason why Israel will never return the Golan. Given the current situation in Syria, there would be no reason to do so as Assad won’t be cutting any deals with Israel.
