Gold says U.N. poses security threat
Dore Gold, Israel’s former representative to the United Nations, flew to Washington this week to warn lawmakers that the United Nations poses a threat to global security.
...
He met Monday with Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is investigating the U.N. scandal.

Gold, who served at the United Nations from 1997 to 1999, was scheduled to meet yesterday with Republican and Democratic congressional staff members dealing with national security.

He said that since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has strayed from its first principles of defending justice and freedom toward coddling dictators and becoming a repository for anti-Semites.

“The U.N. will attack Israel for jaywalking while other states are involved in mass murder,” Gold said in an interview.

1. Just the opposite of what is happening now.
It's okay for Israel-backed terrorism while their enemies are blindly branded evil.

We're all evil, so nuke us all or end this "black and white" excuse of a mindset.

2. The US is the wrong country to get support against coddling
We've been coddling murderous thugs and dictators for 60 years. We're still doing it now.

6. I don't think the concept of a world body meshes with Pax Americana
The oil for food scandal gives them a leg up on a destructive pr campaign. I think they are just seizing the moment.

7. Move the UN to Venezuela, re-organize and re-invigorate.
Members should give the UN body real power as a united body. Any member not current in its dues without just cause (being broke or too poor to pay) should be suspended from voting on any issue.

8. Good. Let Israel expose its crimes to the world.
Let everyone know they are behind the calls to disband the UN. Partners in this travesty with the US.
