The United Nations slammed Israel for possibly committing war crimes in its fight against Hamas — and then backed that accusation by suggesting the Jewish nation ought to be sharing its Iron Dome defensive technology with the very terror group it’s fighting.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said to members of the media at an “emergency” meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council that Israel was falling short in its duty to protect citizens in the Gaza Strip from getting killed by its rockets.

This much stupid is so concentrated it has its own gravitational field. Would somebody please tell me again why do we need the United Nations?
“Would somebody please tell me again why do we need the United Nations?”
Comedic value? Though I think even that is starting to get old, it’s like they’re trolling us with some of these statements.
The UN serves the same purpose in the global scene as 4-Chan serves on the internet. All the scum and morons gather there and keep the conversation mostly civil for the rest of us, until they get bored and start lashing out randomly.
Unfortunately, the UN are more easily bored and less benevolent than Anonymous.
If you’ll recall Reagan wanted the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) and the left freaked saying it wouldn’t work and that if it did it would be unfair to the USSR. So I’m not surprised by the UN’s statement, after all that’s where the American left gets their marching orders.
We need to get the UN out of our country and get our country out of the UN. We could convert the building and send all the border jumpers there to live. Let all of those liberal idiot pisswits in NYC pay to take care of them. The other option is to tear the building down and salt the earth so nothing will ever grow there again.
Fun fact: I’m playing a game with a group where we’re running a pretend nation, and the rest of the group pretty much immediately said “We’re Socialists because Socialists are good guys” before I ever got a say in the matter.
Then I said “We are NOT joining the UN.” and everyone else immediately said “Agree SO HARD!”
Even people who think that socialism is the path to utopia recognize that nothing good comes from joining the UN.
Sharing the Iron Dome MIGHT actually be a reasonable idea, IF the occupants of Gaza would actually use it.
A 90% effective missile defense system would reduce their civilian casualties, though, and I somehow doubt an organization that tells people to ignore Israeli warnings, chains men to lamp posts, and hangs children up on fances so that they can’t escape the incoming attacks wants to reduce their civilian losses.
Did you see that picture? The boys were being strangled by their own shirts. They were going to be dead within hours whether Israel attacked or not. Hamas members straight-up murdered two little boys and planned to blame Israel for it!
Colckworkgremlin —
Iron Dome would be USELESS as a defense for the Gaza Strip, because the IDF doesn’t use unguided balistic rockets against Hamas in Gaza.
The ONLY reason Hamas would want Iron Dome is to figure out countermeasures to defeat it.
Throw it on the pile.
Unfortunately, there is a reason the phrase is:
“Let God sort it out.”
