That being said, I can't see the "news" part here.

The fact that we are funding the UN is no argument. The U.S funds a lot of usless organizations. The sad part is once the funding starts it is impossible to stop. I realize we are stuck with the UN but we don't have to like it. Now maybe someplace like Canada would welcome them with open arms?Heh...
It's funny how people hate the UN when the U.S. and Western powers are the ones that formed its charter, and the U.S. is the biggest financial contributor. Make no mistake, the UN serves your country's agenda just like it serves the agendas of others. The vocal hate of the UN reminds me of people who shout "judical activism" whenever the supreme court makes a ruling they don't like. Your country made the UN and made the very rules that it continues to skirt around.

The blockade of Gaza started because Israel was being attacked from Gaza. Israel has a right to security. If the blockade is lifted arms will flow into Gaza and Israel will once again be under attack.
Canada lives up to its commitments.
So why not allow ships laden with humanitarian aid through while turning away ships with arms?
Let me guess...... you look at the side of the ship and if it says "ARMS SHIP" you don't let it in?
Canada contributes 2.977% of the total UN funding..... still more than your share. :mrgreen:

I think Israel should remove the blockade. I don't see how this blockade is going help create a solution to the conflict. Unless, Israel believe that the solution is to get rid of all the Palistinians by starving them to death.
