I don't recognize the legitimacy of the UN and I don't think their opinion is in any way relevant.

If the UN was intellectually consistent or honest, every single country would have to pass a resolution condemning itself.

Every state on earth is the result of violent conquest, so the UN's selective outrage with Israel is a little ridiculous. As I said before, it's like a jury full of murderers passing judgement on a murderer, when dozens of other (far worse) killers run around with impunity.

I really expected DP'ers to examine the UN's actions with a little more scrutiny than this. This thread looks like it got pulled out of a Daily Beast article.
