The UN has its own problems, namely that it's useless as fuck and will say and do literally anything to avoid the job they know they have on their plate, that is to say, holding China accountable for all the fucked-up shit it does.

Changing the subject, eh? So, how about that apartheid state?

What we did to South Africa, we need to do to Israel. International ostracism. Exclusion from sporting events, etc.

how did ending apartheid work out for south africa? is there greater stability there now? is there less murder there now? is there less disease and starvation there now? what is it about the people in these other parts of the world that leaves them unable to solve their own problems and dependent on our intervention? we ought devote our time and energy to solving our own problems and improving the quality of life in our own country, for our own family.

That means ending aid to Israel. You sure about that?

I don't care two shits about Israel for good or ill. I don't know anyone from there, I don't have family there and neither does my boyfriend (hopefully husband soon enough), my duty is to my family and my partner's family. My concerns in that part of the world if anything relate to whether or not war there is affecting either the country I live in or the country my boyfriend is from, and for a brief moment, whether tourism in Egypt is safe because my Dad won a trip there off some stupid betting thing.
