Ok, I didnt understand your post properly

There have been numerous attempts to curb growth of Israel but it only takes one blocking vote by a permanent UN member to stop a motion. Those permanent members are China, France, Russia (inherited from USSR), UK, and USA. Since there is a historically close link between USA and Israel, USA blocks actions against Israel. But this itself does not make the organization USA-centric, and it's unrelated to why Russia was suspended from the group.

okay, thanks for the information. Sorry for the confusion, I'll try not to jump down your throat next time.

Thanks, that's difficult to say when one gets worked up, I appreciate it.
