If you guys like the institution so much, here, take it!
We'd be happy to have it. Perhaps then we would be able stop our current government voting in favor of Israel all the time.

Are you seriously suggesting that the vast majority are corrupt? If you are, are you also leveling the same criticism at, say -- most members of the US congress?
Ugh, don't get me started -- why on earth we signed such a horrible deal is beyond me.

UN out of the US
US out of the UN
The UN is a conceptual nightmare that should be disbanded. It makes no sense to give dictatorships the world over a voice on par with the democracies of the world.
Somethings a tad awry when the UN's court (International Court of Justice), led by a judge from China accompanied by judges from shitholes like Egypt, tells a democracy like Israel that it can't build a wall (China?) to defend itself.
And dont EVEN get me started on the Oil-for-Food scam, UNRWA, the Durban conference, etc.
Screw the UN. Up with NATO.
