Your support for the UN speaks volumes. Here's Kofi Annan.... shira Nov 2013 #4

well it seems Israel is choosing you know making a choice to participate in the UNHRC azurnoir Nov 2013 #5

Israel was pressured so that other rogue regimes wouldn't drop out of the review.... shira Nov 2013 #34

It's strange to see support for a global multilateral organisation at DU? Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #6

It's abominable to support an organization that elects human rights abusers.... shira Nov 2013 #7

Don't forget Israel in that list! Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #8

Israel isn't on the UNHRC. And you support Cuba? shira Nov 2013 #10

They're a member state of the UN aren't they? Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #12

The UN won't allow Israel on the HRC. That's bigotry. And you asked WTF is wrong with Cuba? shira Nov 2013 #21

No countries are perfect, but free, liberal western democracies are best suited.... shira Nov 2013 #23

Agreeing with Shira would be a stopped clock moment, I suspect... Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #49

I didn't say that, did I? I think the main focus should be on the world's worst violators.... shira Nov 2013 #26

so it seems once it's pointed out to you that it;'s an election not an award azurnoir Nov 2013 #39

Election to HRC for S.Arabia or Cuba shows how terribly corrupt/broken UN is. n/t shira Nov 2013 #43

as has been pointed out to you no it does not azurnoir Nov 2013 #45

Odd how you seem to focus on the Bush years in the UN not so much the present though-curious that azurnoir Nov 2013 #44

Well, yeah. You did... Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #48

But u support a UN that singles out Israel to the detriment of human rights elsewhere.... shira Nov 2013 #51

*sigh* Yr just not getting the whole the UN isn't a football team to be blindly supported thing... Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #68

You've given no indication you disapprove of how the UN treats Israel.... shira Nov 2013 #69

You clearly forget what you post from one post to the next... Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #72

I agree that the UNSC is screwed up, but it goes beyond that.... shira Nov 2013 #77

WOW....Just wow. jessie04 Nov 2013 #13

Hello again. No bullshit in bemildred's post Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #14

Only extreme naivite. aranthus Nov 2013 #16

That's another thing, if you want peace, you talk all the time. bemildred Nov 2013 #18

In that case I don't think Israel should ever be on the Human Rights Commission... Violet_Crumble Nov 2013 #20

I'm just explaining why all those human rights abusers are there. bemildred Nov 2013 #15

You're wrong. aranthus Nov 2013 #17

Oh my, did I strike a nerve? nt bemildred Nov 2013 #19

How do you equate calling you out on your naivite with striking a nerve? aranthus Nov 2013 #29

Name calling isn't much of an argument. bemildred Nov 2013 #31

What name calling? aranthus Nov 2013 #32

You said I was naive. That's an insult. nt bemildred Nov 2013 #33
