"Sovereign is he who decides on the exception" - Carl Schmitt.

- Pay08 7mo agoIndeed. Israel is the only country that can get the majority of UN condemnations for merely existing.
- ifwinterco 7mo agoThe UN is irrelevant, when it comes down to it Israel has had the support of the most powerful country in the world (the US) for the last half century, despite doing basically nothing that's been in US strategic interests.

It was literally formed via the Nakba, a brutal crime against humanity and it's been maintained through terrorism and now genocide. What's the point of the UN existing if it doesn't at least condemn these actions?
