China Number 1

[Mister Six]

"We are No. 1 Boston Clab Fan. Wercome Boston. A new wife awaits you in the off word corony"

That's the Japanese. The Chinese don't swap Ls and Rs, you actual racist.

Why does the Chinese man in my local takeaway have such difficulty pronouncing fried rice then?

[Johnny Yesno]

Jesus wept. Are we actually doing this?

Yeah that's appaling but I don't see it assuring us a place on the top ten, I can easily think of half a dozen other countries who are even worse than that. Probably including the other two you mentioned, and Nigeria with the SARS situation

It is absolutely laughable that US, UK and Israel aren't on that list. Good to see Cuba on there for *checks notes* sending doctors abroad to help treat COVID in other countries.

"UN Watch" is a privately-funded NGO unaffiliated with the United Nations (despite the deliberately misleading presentation) with a right-wing bent, and according to Wikipedia "frequently critical of what it views as anti-Israel and antisemitic sentiment at the UN and UN-sponsored events"

Nothing it says is credible, sadly. More propaganda.

More:

Ian Williams, former president of the United Nations Correspondents Association[66] and author of The UN For Beginners,[67] wrote in an opinion piece in The Guardian in 2007 that the main objective of UN Watch "is to attack the United Nations in general, and its human rights council in particular, for alleged bias against Israel". Williams supported UN Watch's condemnation of the UN Human Rights Council as a hypocritical organization, but also accused UN Watch itself of hypocrisy for failing to denounce what he called "manifest Israeli transgressions against the human rights of Palestinians."[68]

The American journalist and political activist Phyllis Bennis described UN Watch as a "small Geneva-based right-wing organisation" that is "hardly known outside of UN headquarters".[71] She stressed that "undermining and delegitimising" Richard Falk through "scurrilous accusations" has been an "obsession of UN Watch" when he became Special Rapporteur.[72]

Agence France-Presse has described UN Watch both as "a lobby group with strong ties to Israel"[12] and as a group which "champions human rights worldwide".[73] The Economist has described UN Watch as a "pro-Israeli monitor".[74]

Not really arsed about the US/UK argument to be on the list but am quite amazed Myanmar and Israel are nowhere to be seen.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Probs not that amazing given the above

Clearly running an apartheid regime where one enclave of 1.8 million has an average male age of 17 years old and no consistent power supply is middle of the road these days.

Israel is a liberal democracy, silly, and our friends and allies. Like Pinochet's Chile and Pol Pot's Cambodia.

They're really good at disconnecting the connections.

UN Watch is right-wing attack dog that engages in non-stop pro-imperialist propaganda. Almost their entire work consists of demonising official enemies of the US, and agitating for intervention/regime change in countries that are insufficiently subservient to US interests, such as Venezuela, Iran, Bolivia, and Cuba. Another core component of their agenda is die-hard support for Israel and the US. The only area where they stray from the imperial leash is their criticism of Saudi Arabia.

.@EmmanuelMacron @BorisJohnson @GermanyUN: I hope one of your New Year's Resolutions for 2021 is to stop voting for 2/3 of the UNGA's anti-Israel resolutions & instead to start introducing resolutions for victims of China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Venezuela & other tyrannies.

Absolutely. That's partly why I posted it.
