Do you know that every link you have provided to substantiate your silly claims have come from Zionists, Zionist Pro-Israel websites or Wikipedia. You cannot come up with one credible scholarly or authoritative source to substantiate a single one of your claims! Remember what I said in post # 100 folks when I went after Nobody's source...

"The above website is a part of a Zionist media outfit that is openly pro-Israel! Is it not strange how Zionists cannot defend Israel without using Zionist propaganda or Wikipedia? Even "nobody" likely knew his source was shoddy as he chose to omit the link to the source..." - Frank

Amazing how I call them huh!?

list away and prove me wrong when i say the great U.N. is not an honest broker when it comes to israel/palestine.
1) In 1947 the United Nations Partition Plan (UNGA Resolution 181) carved up Palestine giving the Arab majority a minority of the land.

2) The UN Security Council has refused to enact any UN Resolutions under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter even though they have conceded repeatedly that Israel has engaged in war crimes in violation of the 4th Geneva Conventions.

3) In July of 2004 the International Court of Justice ruled that the Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories were illegal; the UN Security Council has done NOTHING to heavily sanction Israel for their continued settlement building.

4) As a part of the quarter the United Nations has remained silent while the United States has levied sanctions against the elected government of the occupied Palestinian people while Israel has gotten away scot free with war crimes.

International Court of Justice Ad Hoc Judge Dr. John Dugard said the following about the UN:

The humanitarian situation in both the West Bank and Gaza is appalling. At least 4 out of 10 Palestinians live under the official poverty line of less than US$ 2.10 a day and unemployment stands at least 40 per cent. To aggravate matters, the public sector, which accounts for 23 per cent of total employment in the Palestinian territory, is employed but unpaid as a result of the withholding of funds owed to the Palestinian Authority by the Government of Israel, amounting to $50 to 60 million per month. In addition, the United States and the European Union have cut off funds to the Palestinian Authority on the ground that Hamas, the party elected to Government in January 2006, is listed under their laws as a terrorist organization. Non-governmental organizations working with the Palestinian Authority have likewise been affected by restrictions on funding.

In effect, the Palestinian people have been subjected to economic sanctions -the first time an occupied people have been so treated. This continues, despite the fact that Israel is itself in violation of numerous Security Council and General Assembly resolutions and has failed to implement the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice of 9 July 2004.

The Quartet itself has no regard for the advisory opinion and fails even to refer to it in its public utterances. This has substantially undermined the reputation of the United Nations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Although Palestinians have a high regard for dedicated and committed United Nations workers on the ground, they have serious misgivings about the role of the United Nations in New York and Geneva.

The image and reputation of the United Nations has, sadly, suffered in the occupied Palestinian territories. While there is high regard for dedicated and committed United Nations workers on the ground, the same cannot be said for the United Nations in New York and Geneva. Palestinians are sensitive to the failure of high-ranking United Nations officials to meaningfully visit the region and the inability of the Security Council to take action to protect human rights, as recently evidenced by the veto of an even-handed draft Security Council resolution on Gaza on 12 July 2006. The visit of Jan Egeland, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator, on 25 July has no doubt done much to restore the image of the United Nations in the region. The concern of the Human Rights Council will also be welcomed, as will the statements by a number of special procedures mandate-holders. The United Nations needs to show more concern for the human rights of Palestinians. Reports such as the present one record the violations of human rights and humanitarian law, but real action on the part of the Organization is essential at this troubled time.
