    Nothing personifies the bias and vituperate vilification more than the comments by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who speaks for the UN. Even Goldstone had a measure of decency by recanting his one sided report

    Proof again that the UN is a hateful, biased and meaningless institution that needs to be disolved. New York could use that valuable piece of prime property to put up something much more useful such as a hospital or school.

    Instead of getting down on both knees, asking the korean to please please forgive us and allow us entry into that august club of human rights champions, like sudan, yemen, Syria, and the republic of China.
    President Peres should have got down on all fours, kissed his shoes and promised we won’t kiLl any more Palestinian terrosists regardless of how many jewish children they murder and maim.
    I’m sure that wouldve helped.
    Did you ever see ANY country crave recognition like the major league “low self esteem”. State of Israel??
    Pathetic.

    Time to pressure your Senators and Congressmen to defund the UN.

    United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is just a stooge for the UN. He needs to learn from his countymen living here in the USA. Most of the Koreans that I know here in the Northeast US when given the chance, choose to live in secular Jewish areas. Most if not all are Christians who have respect for Jews and value the fact that they live in safe neigborhoods with good public schools.
