EVERY country in the world supports Palestine except Israel, the US, Australia and, I think, Kazakstan and the Marshal Islands.

You must have got hold of some goodshit!

I might have left someone out. I think the foreign office in Burundi are currently debating their position.

The representative of Australia expressed strong support for Palestine’s sovereignty, saying his country was taking practical steps, including donating $300 million over the next five years. Australia had changed its negative vote to an abstention, instead of supporting the text, because it did not recognize Israel’s legitimate security needs. Australia was committed to the peace process and to a negotiated two-State solution, he said, urging the two sides to return to direct talks as a matter of urgency.

Seems like reasonable support. Undecided

It does, doesn't it. It sounds exactly like the position of the US State Department too.

If you are the US, UK, France, China or Russia you can veto any action even if every other country supports it. That's what they really think of democracy. Last I heard the US was the biggest debtor to the UN.

Sit booboo sit, good dog! Cheesy

So, what's your opinion pony? Huh

I agree with you. You're saying we shouldn't give tinpot countries with corrupt dictators an equal vote in global decision-making because they'll just trade their votes for whatever's in their best interest, right?

With the exception of Burundi, Kazakstan, the Marshall Islands and Australia.

We vote on principle.

I see. You were previously against a global decision-making body. Perhaps you have changed your mind.

You're not Matty, are you?

Ah, good. And while we're at it, lets do away with the internet, foreign trade, the telegraph, all transnational communication, regional decision-making bodies and trading blocks, multinational corporations, currency speculation, foreign investment, people smuggling and cheap airfares.

That should fix it.

Enjoy your can, Friyay. It's Friday!

Nah, seriously, an assembly full of tinpot poo holes and their murderous dictators can bugger right off.

Wink

I see. You think some countries should be left out of global decision-making. Do you base this on their puppet governments, Friyay, or their attractiveness as tourist destinations?

Well I find China having a vote on human rights violations in other countries to be a tad galling.

Both Obama and Romney will go hell for leather for the Jewish vote. Florida is a must-win state.
