text: As most of the world knows by now, Jewish survival and Israel's success has had little do with popularity and more to do with prowess by way of exceptional and superior ability, skill, and strength. The history of the UN is one of fecklessness and ineptitude, the most recent illustration of course being Syria. The UN's support of and lack of action against totalitarian and anti-democratic nations many of which maintain ranking positions on UN committees is but one example of the sad state of the UN. If anything, following the UN example and adhering to its proven ignorance and folly is a guarantee of failure and collapse. Witness Syria. Press on, Israel.
