All 100 U.S. senators signed a letter released Friday asking U.N. Secretary General António Guterres to address what the lawmakers call entrenched bias against Israel at the world body.
The unanimous message notes that the United States is the largest contributor to the United Nations but does not threaten the withholding of U.S. dues. Still, it uses strong language to insist that the United Nations rectify what the senators said is unequal treatment of Israel on human rights and other grounds.
“Through words and actions, we urge you to ensure that Israel is treated neither better nor worse than any other U.N. member in good standing,” the letter said.
The letter was obtained Thursday by The Washington Post.
“As both the U.N.’s principal founding member and its largest contributor, the United States should insist on reform,” the letter read. “We are deeply committed to international leadership and to advancing respect for human rights. But continued targeting of Israel by the U.N. Human Rights Council and other U.N. entities is unacceptable.”
>good thing all 100 senators unanimously agreed!

Any time 100/100 people agree to anything that is even a remotely debateable subject matter, that should raise a lot of red flags.
Andrew Hughes
bump.
Kayden Brown
>even a remotely debateable subject matter They want Israel to be treated like any other member country of the UN. I highly doubt anyone would argue that Israel should be held to another standard than the other UN members. There is nothing controversial about this.. just some Israel lobbyist whom have worked tireless for some irrelevant statement.
Jaxson Sullivan

Leo Baker
Being treated like any other country would mean massive sanctions, and if it'd happened 30 years ago probably a punitive war as well.
Sadly that's not how these goys see it, at least it probably isn't.
Jace Jones

I really don't like Israel. Why does it have so much fucking power for one country? Why does it dictate so much of what we have to do everywhere? Fucking Britain and China have less say in the shit we do than Israel.
Jonathan Hill
The US Congress is Israeli occupied territory
Cameron Bell
Except it is the US preventing Israel from being treated like any other country by offering it special protection and vetoing anything that even slightly condemns it.
Then again the UN is a joke anyways, hopefully more people wake up to that with this. Fucking Saudi Arabia on the Human Rights commission.
