1. When I was 13, I believed everything too.
Israeli 2   (06.08.12)
The gods of the united nations are money, silver and gold.Until Israel has that, words by any other PROCESSOR are just that. Words. Israel will not steal any hearts away with just words. In the meantime Israel keeps on dreaming.
2. U.N. V.P. Position
Nadya ,   California, U.S.   (06.09.12)
Every article I read from Israel says the U.N. is joke and should be ignored. At one point you wanted the U.S. to give up it's membership in the organization. Now it's a well respected body because Ron Prosser was elected V.P. What a joke.

Nadya, the UN is a joke, one sided, and doesn't function. The ONLY way to change it (like with everything) is change from within with different people & approach. Than the UN can become the relevant, neutral institute again it was founded for. If ISRAELI Ron Prosor was elected after only one year, some sensible people may have reckognized that this person can help doing precisely that.. If it wil work we'll have to see, but the man who 'looks like a cuddly teddybear doesn't do NO.
4. #2, think you'll find the opinion of most Israelis

hasn't changed in the slightest....
5. #2 and #4 miss the point
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (06.09.12)
The UN should be shut down ... misconceptions dot us/does-the-world-need-the-u-n Replace the word dot with a . and remove the two spaces, because links are frowned upon. But since it hasn't been shut down then Israel (and all the West) must do its best to try and improve their representation in it. So it's possible to believe that the UN should be shut down and also think that Prosser's selection is important.
6. The UN being the cynical UN, it will now elect the rep. of
JBI   (06.09.12)
the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) - read its Charter please!! - to serve as the 22 VP of the General Assembly, although the PLO, also cynically, was only allowed to sit at the UN as an observer. You see, the UN must always attempt to "balance" matters, and Mr. Obama probably will go along with this Rev. J. Wright's approach as well.
7. (6) JBI
tiki ,   belgium   (06.09.12)
You are probably right (not cinical), but you always have to believe in a better future, otherwise all is lost. It's 'because of people who never gave up hope, that things can & did change for the better.
8. GA VP
Half the people   (06.09.12)
Seriously, this whole thing is a bit of a noodle, rather than news. First, because the President of the General Assembly has twenty-something deputies; and second, because only a few years ago former ambassador of Israel to the UN Dan Gillerman was elected to the same position. This, by the way doesn't mean Israel has stopped calling a spade a spade when it comes to the UN being totally hijacked by the haters' agenda.
