In my opinion, you weaken your position when you make it strictly from the Jewish persecution viewpoint. If your objective was simply to point out that the Jews are often treated unfailry by the UN in your opinion, then I guess you made that point. But you were making a claim that we should get out of the UN becuase it is a failed entity. The reason your position is weakened is because you argue from only one perspective. If you are to gain support for a "firing " of the UN, IMO you need to argue from a broader foundation.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. IMHO the United Nations has made its own best case to be dissolved and not just from my perspective as a Jew. The UN over the past years has built a foundation built on deceit, outright theft, ignoring the plight of millions of fellow human beings in almost all third world countries and supporting the UN's majority third world Muslim nations. The UN is built on a three-leg foundation being proped up for what is considered status quo.
....In all honesty, as I mentioned already, most of your posts are on meaningful topics, but you always are coming from the same perspective. Some time it is obvious and some times it appears hidden. Personally, I prefer if someone has something on their mind they just come right on out and say it.
From my perspective, the way I approach topics can be either direct or indirect depending on how I feel that is best understood ffrom other's points of view. As an example, sometimes satire is better than just coming forward with obvious biases seen.
Israel has no greater ally than the US. I personally feel we gave given more than our fair share, but so be it.
That too is your opinion. Israel's loan guarantees from the US Congress has largely been repaid and with the technology developed in Israel has benefited the United States more than 10 fold in these loan/grants.
In December 2003, when I was last in Israel I was taken from city to city. All I saw were large buildings reading IBM, Dell and many US technology and research facilities now exiting there for years.
When I asked why these American technology and medical instituions were present in a land with so few people, I was told that this is where they are near research labs, universities and other private companies doing basic and advanced projects that is said to keep America strong and the only remaing superpower with weapons beyond any others in the world. With medical advancements that benefit millions of Americans increasing longevity and increased quality of existence.
These facts are not well known as the rest of the world also uses this advanced technology but cannot announce it for fear of upsetting the Muslim world.
Ameica gets nothing back for the billions given outright to Egypt and other third world countries. And so America has benefited with its relationship with America. So be it...
