    This is the only independent institution right now, that really protects human rights.

    Don’t forget that all those resolutions are voted by emissaries of different countries and a directive to be approved needs to be approved by the majority of those countries.

    Not to forget that the UN approved the founding of Israel.

    So perhaps you should question yourself if the majority of the countries think that what you are doing is wrong, if it is really a problem with the institution or with your actions.

      Iran’s UN Ambassador to chair Social Forum. Same Iran which is funding and publicly supporting Hamas. Same Iran whose morality police killed a 16 year old girl for not covering her face. They are hosting a HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL at UN. And you are telling me UN is a serious organization?

        Ah yes, straight from the playbooks of your country’s propaganda, discredit the institution.

        The facts are that in the latest UN resolution calling for a ceasefire 120 countries voted YES, 14 NO and 40 ABSTAINED, this means that 120 out of 174 countries that voted in this particular resolution think what Israel is doing in Gaza is wrong. Let that sink in. The vast majority of the international community are telling you that what you are doing in Gaza is wrong.

        The U stands for United, and is an institution that was formed after WWII to prevent in the future global war conflicts of happening. And let me remind you of the fact that without the UN, Israel wouldn’t exist.

        But yes, Israel good, UN bad.
