Try the entire United Nations! Which, btw, has always had the mandate to prevent genocide.

If it weren't for an occasional US President, that nation would have been destroyed long ago.

Next summer will be 70 years of their existence. Is that significant in the Bible prophecies?
Yes, the United Nations with it's support of human rights is a factor in preventing Israel from committing genocide. However, the UN's support and effectiveness is limited.

"Support of human rights?" Seriously?

Palestinian thugs are paid well to kill innocent Israeli citizens, and then get "canonized."

Who defends the human rights of these innocent victims?

According to the Washington post fact checker, Trump tells at least 5.5 lies every day:

This only refers to his public statements. This says nothing about lies he says in private.

Every man is a liar, as the Bible says. But a man in his position should try harder to hide it.

To be fair Evan G, I have heard more lies coming from you trying to defend W. Lee, than I have heard from Trump.

But I'm an American, so I guess I am slightly biased.

How many lies were told every hour in the media about the Russian Collusion?

The article basically says, look at all these people who said Russia meddled, so Trump is a liar: "When the nation’s commander-in-chief refuses to acknowledge a threat to U.S. democracy, it makes it all the more difficult to address the problem. For this reason, we name Trump’s claim that the Russia interference is a hoax as our Lie of the Year for 2017."

Notice here that they pulled a bait-and-switch.

And then they say, "It seems unlikely — though not impossible — that Russia interference changed the outcome of the election. We at PolitiFact have seen no compelling evidence that it did so."

So which is it genius?
