Before the United Nations there was the League of Nations (LON), a band of international (criminal?) opportunists, to be sure. Then came a time when the League of Nations, apparently, lost all respect and a name change was in order to let people forget the uselessness of the LON (it prevented no wars). Under the LON rules, any member could veto any decision, since all decisions had to be unanimous.

In contrast, to the LON, the United Nations allow only the so-called founding (permanent) members to veto an issue (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union and China). It made the UN less democratic when compared to the LON. As a result, the UN, is now better controlled by, and for the big boys. To no surprise, the UN is also a useless paper-tiger, manipulated by the US in favor of Israel through their 'Veto Power', and is complicit in the Genocide of the Palestinians.
Like the LON, the UN should be shut down, despite of the well sounding critique of Israel by the Secretary General, which ring hollow at best, in the face of no action, like sending 'Blue Helmets' into Gaza to protect the innocent population.
