Donald Trump is correct. We need to renegotiate our affiliation with both the UN and NATO. If they cannot begin to provide funding for their own operations, then they need to go. The US has become their funding for anything they choose to do and America is fed up paying for their nonsense. We either need to have more control over what they choose to do or they need to get other countries to pay for it!
@4RDCW6G4yrs4Y
The USA should obey INTERNATIONAL LAW. We can cooperate fully with the U.N. without losing our sovereignty. Lately the USA has been a rogue nation.
@4QR5R984yrs4Y
No, and remove the U.N. entirely from existence. It is absolutely the biggest threat to our sovereignty as an independent nation and our freedom from a one world slavery system a.k.a. the NWO.
@4PR6WX84yrs4Y
Calling the UN a "world government" is fallacious. It's more akin to an international negotiating table with a name and a permanent staff to keep it running. What we need is an actual world government. See you in 100 years.
@4W97ZPK4yrs4Y
We should push for an organization that only allows countries who respect human rights to have a say. Example: Why was Uganda under Idi Amin in the `70s and Lybia in 2003 allowed to have Najat al-Hajjaji in charge of the UN human rights commission? Like asking Hitler to oversee violations in a Concentration camp.
@4PL25HB4yrs4Y
The feminists are taking over, if there were completely removed from the situation, then maybe I would support this.
@4QDFKYN4yrs4Y
Yes only to veto the two state solution that's just the same thing as Hitler's final solution
@4NY2GFK4yrs4Y
What UN? The one that ignores the human rights violations of Saudi and the other Islamic terrorists factories? Why does it exist? Human Rights are not involved in the current agenda. If it exists it should function as it is funded. Currently it does not.

UN chief ‘appalled’ by Israeli attacks on refugee camp
@ChamoisViolet1Y
do you have any idea how did jordan gave up the west bank?
@V3toPaisley1Y
Yes. Israel won a war, and giving up the West Bank was part of the peace deal. But Jordan revoked Palestinians’ citizenship before that, in no small part because of Black September.
Genuinely, I feel bad for these people. Their allies abandoned them, and their leaders are awful
@ChamoisViolet1Y
yes israel went back on the 1967 boarders agreement and occupied the palestinian territory. So stop blaming the victim and realize how fucked up the country you are defending is. It’s not a war it’s an occupation.

Aid Airdrop Kills 5 People in Gaza After Parachute Fails
@XfactorCardinal10MO
Good news guys, I just consulted a map and realized we can get tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza by truck through Israel. Is there some reason we haven't tried that?
@E1ectionLily10MO
It is Egyptian land. Egypt could tell Israel to pound sand and open Egypt’s Gaza border. but they won’t, because the el-Sisi administration does not want HAMAS (or Palestinians) crossing into Egypt.
@XfactorCardinal10MO
if Egypt told Israel that, Israel would accuse Egypt of sending in weapons to aid Hamas (because why else would they not want Israel to inspect and approve everything crossing the border into Gaza) and then use that as an excuse to invade Egypt.

I don't think there is any "solution" to the Israel-Palestine conflict. It's just a giant insoluble nightmare and we're all along for the ride
@FondCrow8MO
You really believe the US can manipulate Egyptian politics to the degree you describe? Begin and Sadat accomplished nothing at Camp David? It’s all just American orchestrated, artificial diplomacy?
@Feder4l1stSmelt8MO
Why does the US provide $1.3 billion in annual military subsidies to General Sisi? Just to be nice?
Israel Offensive Will Cause "Massive Loss Of Palestinian Lives."
@PanickyF3deralist10MO
Did you hear that Russia? China? ISIS? To win a war against a western country, all you need to do is commit a massive war crime attack against civilians, and then embed yourself among the people, hospitals, schools, etc.
When the western country dares to attack back, simply broadcast the people who you embed yourself with and their suffering. Remember to say the word “Genocide” every 11 seconds (repeating it over and over will make it true)
Do this, and the western countries citizens will demonize the government for you! They are already so self-hating that your own atrocity will… Read more
@PersistentSeafowl10MO
It ought to be plain as day by now that the war on Gaza has little to do with releasing the hostages -- if 29,000 dead and destruction of 60 percent of buildings and displacement of 2 million hasn't worked, why would more death and destruction in Rafah work? It makes no sense.
Netanyahu's goal is to devastate and ethnically cleanse all of Gaza, an impossibility because of the sheer numbers.
Mr. Leonhardt also fails to mention that our government is funding and enabling this death and desolation. It's time to ask President Biden and members of Congress supporting the war with our tax dollars how they think they are solving any problem by financing the war.
@PanickyF3deralist10MO
Why would the war be about releasing the hostages? They were ATTACKED brutally. The hostages are secondary to defense and security of the country from further attack.
Why would negotiating with the terrorists for hostages be the first priority? This would be immediately rewarding their attack by giving them what they want and quite obviously incentivizing further attack.
Our own government knows better than to do this. Most governments know better than to do this. Yet we somehow expect Israel to give in to Hamas demands, withdraw troops and release massive numbers of their prisoners? Why woul… Read more

Harvard’s Jacinda Ardean Calls on the United Nations to Crack Down on Free Speech as a Weapon of War
@E1ectoralStork1Y
Political dialog is fine. Not hate speech and misinformation. Those destroy society in case you have t noticed. You can’t tell fire in a crowded theater.
@Un1onJim1Y
Who determines what is hate speech? Ditto for misinformation. Here’s a real mind blower, how about countering speech you don’t like (incl ‘hate speech” or misinformation) with “nice speech” or good information? Liberals use to be for more free speech, not less.

I just can't unseen those videos of him sniffing eight-year-old girl's hair, or him calling a high-up Klansman a hero.
@9CJ6CB610MO
Because regardless, the law restraining things based off of what is a sin directly encroaches upon the capacity for someone to even choose right or wrong in a victimless manner. If we made every sin illegal, where’s the choice to not do it in the first place? That’s the basis of the Christian gospel, it must be chosen, not forced, and its moral values do not speak for everyone, nor is it even built or stated to do so. Nationalizing religion is a perversion of its purpose, and a failure of trust in faith itself, opting to enforce it based on one’s own religious opinions that… Read more
@Patriot-#177610MO
You've committed the Strawman Fallacy (again!) attacking a position I never claimed to hold (that every sin should be illegal). Rather, what I said was the the MURDER OF THE UNBORN should be illegal. I never said I was in favour of government banning things like insulting people, hitting people, and excluding people – I said I was in favour of government preventing the shedding of innocent blood. Quite a difference, that.

Israel Offensive Will Cause "Massive Loss Of Palestinian Lives."
@CurlewMikey10MO
considering elections were held 20 years ago and most the population didn’t exist/were too young to vote, saying the population elected Hamas is disingenuous at most. Most the people in Gaza had no choice in Hamas being their governing power.
@LobbyistGabriella10MO
Hamas systematically integrated its military infrastructure under every major civilian facility in every city in Gaza, which is the worst War Crime imaginable.
But Israel is in the process of defeating Hamas.
Rafah in southern Gaza is the only remaining Hamas stronghold, and is the source of most the remaining rockets being fired into Israel.
So the next step is for Israel to take Rafah, and then the rockets will stop.
At that point, Hamas will be defeated, and must surrender.
@CurlewMikey10MO
we will soon know, will we not? That could be a good resolution. Much more predictable, I think, is that thousands more Palestinian chikdren are killed, while the most important Hamas figures escape via Egypt into Qatar or elsewhere. Meanwhile Hamas is supposedly growing on the West Bank.

Mexico Breaks Off Relations With Ecuador After Embassy Raid

Wtf are you talking about? He didn't have political immunity, he was seeking asylum in the Mexican embassy.
@PantherHarper9MO
It doesn't matter what the hell he was doing, he is a criminal, there's no such thing as political persecusion if the subject is wanted for a non-political crime.
@L1b3rtyTommy9MO
If the charges are brought up for political purposes then he should obviously be given political asylum.
It's the same BS they're trying to do to Trump in the USA. If he asked Mexico for political asylum he would get it because it's the right thing to do.

And they all do it with pride and glee. They love it. All these scum who cry hysterically as they write "OMG BLOODBATH MASSACRE IN UKRAINE BY EVIL PUTIN-HITLER", just love whitewashing and laundering daily Israeli genocidal massacres of babies. The purest scum alive
@OptimisticRobin7MO
they kill journalists and nurses in broad daylight, literally on camera, and still their lies, their doctored fake videos and photos get NYT and BBC headlines and the entire framing is "yeah the Israeli claim is definitely true, the rest is KHAMAS". Scum
@C4mpaignPie7MO
Whenever Israel has a PR crisis because people can see them mass murdering babies and children, beheading them, burning them alive, Zionist propagandists come up with a deranged patently absurd deflection, the point of which is to get you to stop talking about them mass killing and maiming and beheading babies.
Then weeks later they quietly admit the deflection was a bullshit propaganda PR spin, but by then it has already served its purpose and defused the PR crisis they were dealing with.
