Re: Why is the UN so obsessed with Israel

For a guy who claims to be libertarian, you are one intolerant guy, Tom.

The UN is full of nations which don't necessarily have the same interests as the US. Isn't that amazing? And, libertarian that you don't seem to be, you hold that against them!

They have all manner of cultures, religions, governments, circumstances. And you think they should think the way you do.

Guess what? If everyone thought the same way there would be no need for a UN.

The UN would like Israel to live up to it's agreements, including UN resolutions. To you that's unreasonable. Prejudicial. Well, Israel is in many ways a rogue nation, actively invading a neighbor, annexing property by force of arms, not particularly honorable. Some folks can see that.

If anyone is going to be a functioning part of a group, they have to get along, sometimes giving in to anothers agenda. Families, teams, and the military are examples. No one always gets their own way in those situations. And the people who feel completely, totally and forever sorry for themselves because once in a while they have to consider others is in for a long, slow life.
