Trump says UN just a club for people to 'have a good time'

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) ? Days after the United Nations voted to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, Donald Trump questioned its effectiveness Monday, saying it's just a club for people to "have a good time."

The president-elect wrote on Twitter that the U.N. has "such great potential," but it has become "just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. So sad!"

On Friday, Trump warned, "As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th," referring to the day he takes office.

The decision by the Obama administration to abstain from Friday's U.N. vote brushed aside Trump's demands that the U.S. exercise its veto and provided a climax to years of icy relations with Israel's leadership.

Trump told The Associated Press last December that he wanted to be "very neutral" on Israel-Palestinian issues. But his tone became decidedly more pro-Israel as the presidential campaign progressed. He has spoken disparagingly of Palestinians, saying they have been "taken over" by or are condoning militant groups.

Donald Trump is 100% correct...the UN is a social club, no action, no results! Time to move the UN to Africa, look at Israel, which “continues to breach international law and conventions, international humanitarian law and countless UN resolutions, United Nation have failed to bring those responsible to justice, when other head of countries are brought to the Hague and prosecuted seams Israel is above the International law, should the UN be scrapped?

"He has spoken disparagingly of Palestinians, saying they have been "taken over""

He's quite right, taken over by Israel mid 20th century and ever since, with Israel supported by the UK and US, as usual. Despite many UN resolutions against Israel the US and UK have never sought to invade.
