I agree with you! They hate the Jews and love Islam! It really is the most twisted organisation. They should be dealing with Sudan where real genocide is taking place. I really think the whole thing needs to be closed down. Maybe Israel should leave it.

Joshua, your description of these despicable "leaders" was so spot on. Each one guilty of sin in their own countries that had fallen apart, continue to fall apart and will only become worse in the near future. What President Trump should do is close down theUN building, remove all US funding, and tell them to relocate to the country of their choice. Guterres and the others can barely stand up without any backbone. Your renaming of that building is exactly what it represents, Jew hating. Abbas sounds dementia ridden believing in "peace," Macron's country is falling to the Muslims, Erdogan is highy delusional and dangerous, al Thani is propped up by his Mommy, Sheika Mosa, the real engine behind it all. On the bright side, perhaps all these countries in favor of a Palestinian state can now give a home to the 2 million "refugees." We'd better not hold our breath for that one.

Imagine sitting there listening to a corrupt liar like Mahmoud Abbas saying, “Our future and your future lie in peace. Let the violence and war end.”

He knows he's lying, everyone in the room knows he's lying (maybe everyone on the planet), and he knows everyone knows he's lying—yet we have to repeat this fake ritual again for maybe the fiftieth consecutive year, where the Palestinians pretend to care about peace and the rest of us pretend to believe them.

This fossil has had power for many decades—what has he done for peace? How much effort and energy has he ever expended trying to make his people embrace peaceful coexistence? He was handed his own state on a platter, complete with international recognition and billions in donations, and he turned it down without even a counter-offer. An historic blunder!

The only distinguishing thing about Abbas is how incredibly useless he is—bad politician, bad leader, bad thinker, bad liar. But maybe once a decade a famous Palestinian tells the truth, like the poet Mahmoud Darwish did a few decades ago: “Do you know why we Palestinians are famous? Because you are our enemies. The interest in us stems from interest in the Jewish issue. The interest is in you not in me...."

No one gives a shit about the Palestinian people (certainly not their leaders and certainly not the rogue's gallery of Arab despots who come and go, leaving behind nothing but a trail of slime), and no one gives a shit about peace or "united nations" or any of the other platitudes we've been subjected to this week—all these people only care about one thing: destroying the Jewish state. Their envy and resentment cannot bear the existence of a strong and prosperous Israel. Everything else is just empty language, best ignored, as it's not meant to communicate or enlighten, but only to deceive.

Pure projection from The Middle East countries. Muslim states are horrible places. Women get no rights and there is no freedom in the Western sense. If there were to be, their countries would implode, and their leaders know this. Instead, they fund wars across the region which have killed millions. They then come to the UN to attack Israel. The hypocrisy is so obvious that all credibility has gone from that organisation. The excellent President Trump says this like this is. Well done. There is hope for The West and our Freedom yet!

"But today, the UN has become a theater of antisemitism." A restatement of the obvious but it needs to be said. The idea of a "Palestinian people" didn't exist until Yasir Arafat created it in the '70's and the anti-semites at the UN now had a real foil with which to attack Israel. The hypocrisy of the critics regarding their actions in this controversy is stunning with Qatar as the leader in this.

Totally. The reason has been the " democratisation " of the UN. In the earlier " League of Nations" only a few countries participated. This changed at some point, with each diminutive country having one vote, like all other nations, however large or influential. There are over 190 countries in the UN nowadays. This meant that all countries under Islamic influence- think the many African countries plus the Middle East, and others- vote as a bloc, and overwhelmingly, needless to say, against Israel, which is the same as saying against the Jews. To this we add the tragic reality that Europe has not changed: their ancestral Jew-hatred of 2,000 years of criminal Christian history lives under their skin, even as they abandoned God altogether and Western values a long time ago. And they took in too many Muslims.

I smiled, and will never forget, Trump telling the UN's Europeans in his address yesterday,

" your countries are going to hell". Memorable, as folksy as it is appallingly true.

In 2023 the U.S. donated 13 billion dollars to the U.N. one third of their budget. Trump should cut off the donations until the U.N. becomes obedient to the U.S.

In reality the U.N. should be shut down and it's building converted to condos

The primary aim of the U.N. is the destruction of Western civilization and we ourselves are financing it

Wonderful essay !!!!!!!.......and absolutely true !!!!!!!! I worked at the UN, at that the Secretary General, was Kurt Waldheim (a nazi !!! ) Thel Arab bloque and the African bloque were ALWAYS against Israel, and every resolution was ALWAYS against Israel. The PLO was there and most of the enemies of Israel. The actual Secretary General, Guterres, surely another Jew hater ......The UN was created to keep PEACE in the world, but unfortunately is doing just the opposite......It's utterly a snake pit !!!!....

Sir Peter

Established to encourage nations to settle their differences without recourse to war, this once commendable organisation has proven itself to be incompetent and useless. It has evolved it a bloated leftwing bureaucracy meddling in every aspect of our lives. Little more than a cosy club for kleptocrats and dictators it has become a sheltered workshop for otherwise unemployable retired politicians and apparatchiks. Its history of discrimination against Israel is mind boggling. All free nations must leave it and start our own Union of Free Nations, membership by invitation. Israel is invited

A sobering but most important article, Joshua! The United Nations does a lot of great humanitarian work around the world. It isn't a total bust by any means, and it has done some good things in its history. The UN has done many successful peacekeeping operations since 1948 such as in countries like Cambodia, El Salvador and Mozambique where they successful ended armed conflicts and fostered reconciliation. The World Food Program provides food and cash assistance to over 80 million people globally. They also aid 69 million displaced individuals. UN agencies supply vaccines to 45% of the world's children. The UN established a comprehensive framework for human rights through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent covenants. The UN Human Rights Council does regular reviews of member states' human rights records. The WHO led the global campaign to eradicate smallpox which was achieved by 1980. UNICEF has helped save the lives of over 90 million children since 1990 through various health and education initiatives. All that being said, the UN is in bad shape as an organization and is quite corrupt as well as plagued by antisemitism and a clear bias against Israel that it has had since Israel was born in 1948. I could also mention the fact that despots and terrorists are legitimized and treated like royalty, UN women is worthless and just virtue signals (while ignoring the women who were raped on October 7th), UNICEF ignored the children of Israel and Ukraine, the UN failed to take action to stop the genocides in Rwanda, Bosnia and Sudan, and the scandals involving UN Peacekeepers raping children. The United Nations has its good qualities but also has many, many flaws and it has never been fair to the nation state of the Jewish people.

Its latest session was aside from the President of Indonesia's inspiring remarks and President Trump's tremendous speech, was a festival of Jew hate, blood libels being thrown around and hypocrisy. The fact that the King of Qatar, the President of Iran and the Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan were able to get up there and blast Israel for an imaginary genocide and human rights abuses while happily supporting terrorism, perpetrating genocide, oppressing their own people, and committed real human rights abuses tells you all you need to know about what's wrong with the UN. The Chairman of the PA Mahmoud Abbas posing as a peacenik? Ha! He's no choir boy, cough, cough, pay for slay, cough, cough, jailing Palestinian journalists, cough, cough, building on Jewish historical sites. Emmanuel Macron spewed verbal diarrhea and embarrassed himself in front of the world. Meanwhile, most Frenchman hate him, mass immigration, economic stagnation, unemployment, labor strikes, political polarization, and antisemitism paralyze the nation, and his own wife is slapping him upside the head for being an idiot. It was just the cherry on top of the s*** sundae that it was scheduled for Rosh Hashanah and the UN ignored Israel's request to reschedule even though this session would be discussing the Gaza War. As President Trump said, the United Nations has a so much potential but the squander it. It needs a massive revamp! Antonio Guterres needs to go as UN Secretary-General and they need to find an actual distinguished statesmen to replace him. All the UN's different organizations and programs need comprehensive reform. UN Women should just be straight up abolished. The UN needs to actually act when genocide is going on and intervene to put a stop to it. The corruption and antisemitism need to be purged, and its anti-Israel bias should be shed. Lastly, Israel should be made a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
