Okeedoke, I'll bite.
Considering that there are countries like the Sudan (who are enslaving and slaughtering innocents for the crime of being Christian) who are now a part of the UN sanctioned "Commission on Human Rights", and the US (the country that founded the commission, and which has one of the best human rights records in existance) has been ousted from said commission, I think that what the UN stands for is not necessarily something I really *want* to be affiliated with in any regards. I mean *really*. There is a thriving slave trade in the Sudan, and *this* country has the audacity to shake a finger at Israel or the US?
The Israelis have to their credit a history of taking in *non* jews/Israelis (such as several thousand Viet Namese refugees) for the sole reason that they *were* refugees. There are no religious or racial connections between the Viet Namese and the Israelis, so why are these supposed "racists" helping them? The Israelis have also stood up in defense of any poor treatment that *any* non-muslim receives at the hands of some muslim countries (not merely other Israelis). The Israelis have also been very instrumental in defending black Jews and Christians in parts of Africa who are suffering persecution.
Let's also take into consideration that *WOMEN* are not treated like chattel in Israel, as they are in much of the Muslim world.
Thanks, but I am happy my country does not side with butchers, misogynists, and hypocrits.
