UN recognizes Palistine

The terrorist-led Palestine now has "non-member observer state" status at the U.N.[hahhah-no]

Palestine is a "non-member" state, same as the Vatican. As such, Palestine needs a sponsor member state to bring any actions to the floor of the council.

And yes, Israel was created by the UN in 1948 after the Ottomans and British had their fun there ( I won't go past 19th century history, its convoluted)...

A "nonmember observer state" to be exact. Doesn't mean much in the end.

Genius, the Palestinian people have no voice in the palestian so called govt. UN recognizes PLO and Hamas as the default govt. In fact, who is the Palestinian ambassador to un again? That's right a High ranking PLO. Get your fact straight.

Anything that's global regulation can burn to the ground as far as I'm concerned. Since this thread is about the UN...people are probably going to talk about the UN. Since there was no mention of the WTO...you might not want to be surprised when nobody brings it up.

I can't help it...I can't help but feed this attention whore...it feels too good to destroy him.

The WTO already supersedes US law. It is an ACTUAL issue with an unelected body taking away US sovereign rights. But you will never hear that in the corporate news. The UN is toothless, the WTO is real and doing really bad things right now.

[facepalm]

Again I say unto thee...this is a UN thread. U...N. WTO is unrelated to what we are talking about [Bang]

I am just saying that a lot of what you guys hate about the UN is happening in a far worse way with the WTO. I figured you might be interested to learn about that and check into it.
