Reply #6: I'm sure there are plenty of countries

who would be happy to change the constituency of the UN security council. I don't think Israel would even object as long as they got a fair chance themselves.

Did you know that Israel is not and cannot be on any single UN committee (besides UNESCO and the WHO as far as I know) because membership on these committees is chosen by region - and there is not one region in the world that will agree to have Israel. Now, do you really think Israel is that evil that she should not be allowed into any single region at all in the world? do you think that is fair?.

Since 1961, Israel has been barred from the Asia regional group. In 2000, it was offered limited membership the Western European and Others WEOG group.

Did you know that because of this non-grouping, Israel has zero chance of ever sitting on the UN security council on one of the non-permanent seats, whereas Israel's enemies almost invariably have at least one or two seats. Does that sound fair to you?

Further on in that same article (I know, it's Wiki, but the facts are correct) it states:

In recent years, the Middle East was the subject of 76% of country-specific UNGA resolutions, 100% of the Human Rights Council resolutions, 100% of the Commission on the Status of Women resolutions, 50% of reports from the World Food Program, 6% of Security Council resolutions and 6 of the 10 Emergency sessions

.

Do those statistics sound fair to you? Balanced mayhap?

And given all this, do you now wonder at Israel's suspicion of the UN?
