    The United Nations is a pathetic joke. Just look at how they were in Rhawanda, much less Israel. We should have no dealings with the U.N. Any person signing up to be in the U.S. Armed Forces should NEVER have to serve under another authority. (I'm done)

    "Israel" is the most extensive violator of UN Security Council resolutions. US has also used it’s veto power over 45 times at the UN to defend Israeli violation of international law.

    FYI America: It may be useful for you to know that these polls sponsored by "Step Up For Israel" are rooted in a Zionist propaganda industry known as "Hasbara". Campaign Chairs for Step Up For Israel are Professor Alan Dershowitz and Ambassador Dore Gold. Dersowitz is a notorious shill for Israeli land grabbing policies and a 5th columnist for Zionist aims of expansionism and dispossession of the native Palestinians. Dore Gold was born in America but as an "Israel First" Jew, has now defected to Israel where he currently resides.

    Israel and it's American 5th columnist "Israel Firsters" are conducting a massive PR campaign on the internet and all media venues worldwide and even college campuses. Isrel's Foreign Ministry hires and trains professional propagandists colloquially known as "Hasbara trolls" to flood the internet, blow kisses at Israel, and defame and dehumanize Muslims. I just thought you should know...

    In April 2009 Gold participated in the Doha Debates at Georgetown University in Washington DC, where he debated against the motion "this house believes that it is time for the USA to get tough on Israel" with fellow speaker Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz. Speakers for the motion were Avraham Burg, former Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel and former Speaker of the Knesset and Michael Scheuer, former Chief of the CIA Bin Laden Issue Station. Gold and Dershowitz lost the debate, with 63% of the audience voting for the motion.

    Israel is the UN's favorite whipping boy. Not surprising when one considers that more than half the world's nations are either Muslim or antisemitic.

    So do some sniffing around!! One of my college majors was political science, and my area of interest was the "Arab - Israeli conflict." There's just about limitless info. available.

    My only advice is to remember to distinguish fact from opinion. Check up on assertions of statistics, etc., before you make up your mind.

    The good thing is that Israel is run by rational people and the UN was developed to work with rational people. The reason we can't deal with nations lik the former Libya and Syria is because they're run by nuts!

    What is the influence Israel has on the Arab and Muslim world? I think we are talking about a billion people and many countries that have votes in the UN.

    Israel is about the size of New Jersey. Do you think New Jersey could fight the entire Eastern part of the US?

    What is the population of Muslims in the world and how many countries are controlled by Muslims?

    How many countries are controlled by the Jews?

    What is the land area controlled by Muslims and what is the land areas controlled by Jews?

    Are you trying to say that Jews are a minority, and/or that there are fewer Jews than Muslims? Is that, essentially, your point?

    If not, please explain. I still can't quite grasp your point.

    Muslim far outnumber jews in the world.

    As of 2009, over 1.6 billion or about 23% of the world population are Muslims
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    The worldwide Jewish population is 13.3 million Jews.

    Slammed with facts.

    I didn't say I disagreed with you....I don't. I just couldn't figure out your context.

    The Jews are indeed a tiny minority, especially compared with Muslims (even more when compared with Buddhists).

    In fact, the numbers you provide make perfect sense, until you remember that numbers don't tell the whole story. If that were the case, neither Obama nor Romney would have Talmudic scholars on their campaign staffs, just to court something like 5% of US voters. The US would have better diplomatic relations with the Muslim nations than they do with Israel, and that's not happening, either.

    Maybe because Israel is seen as the beachhead of western civilization in the Middle East, it gets disproportionate support, money, and "get-out-of-jail-free" cards from the UN, the US, and most of the rest of the Western nations.

    Sure, it makes no logical sense.....But if people were logical the world would be a much tidier place.

    You asked; "Are you trying to say that Jews are a minority, and/or that there are fewer Jews than Muslims? Is that, essentially, your point?

    Yes, and I provided facts.

    You are entitled to your opinion.

    Yes, you provided the facts which let me put your statement into context.

    I thought we had the same opinion.....That Muslims are seriously underrepresented in world politics. Maybe we have differing theories about the "why," but my impression was that we agreed on that.

    If that's NOT your opinion, you are indeed entitled think that Muslim nations don't deserve more representation in spite of their numbers.
  • Kiosk Kid revbh 2012/07/27 01:24:35 (edited)

    No, Muslim has great representation in the world. Israel is just one country against most countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

    "The percentage shows the proportional amount of Muslims out of the total population of each country. In total, there are about 50 Muslim-majority countries, depending on a few disputed states."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Therefore, you are talking about 50 to 1.
