Calling on POTUS: Come Down Hard on the UN

The United Nations (UN) was born out of the chaos and destruction of World War II. The principles of the UN as explained in its Charter are to save future generations from war, reaffirm human rights and establish equality for all persons. In addition it also aims to promote justice, freedom and social progress for the peoples of all of its now 193 member states. Quite lofty goals that were set in 1945 even while the Nazi crematoria in Europe were still warm and General MacArthur was trying to put the pieces of Japan together. Looking back now, 72 years later, we can say with perfect honesty, this organization has strayed from its initial charter’s objectives and today promotes hatred, wars, poverty and world-wide misery all mostly on the dime of the United States which picks up nearly 10% of the organization’s budget;  to the tune of almost $2 billion annually. 

Its headquarters on the East River in midtown Manhattan is a humanitarian blight on our landscape that does nothing to bring honor to this city. The many delegates of its member countries use our city’s streets as personal parking lots, immune from the regulations imposed on our own taxpaying citizens. These officials, representatives of nations around the world where their own people live in poverty, malnourished and without modern medical care, romp around town living high  and dining royally without so much of care or concern about the conditions of their own countrymen. Life is good if you spend your time working at the UN where there are toilets, cafeterias and air conditioning. Not like, let’s say, back home in Kenya, Cuba or North Korea. 

One of the useless UN agencies, its Human Rights Council, has as its members such freedom loving nations as Cuba, China, Venezuela, Rwanda and Ethiopia. Its UNESCO agency, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has such nations as Sudan, Syria and Cuba as part of its membership. The stated goals of this agency is to promote the educational, moral and other basic needs of our world’s children. Enough said about these worthy objectives when we read of the brutal rapes of children by UN troops in the Central African Republic and the cover up by the top officials of the UN of this and other horrors committed by “peacekeepers” on the UN payroll. 

But let’s take look at Israel, one of the most democratic, humanistic, caring nations in the world and its treatment  by the UN. Hundreds of anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian resolutions are passed by the UN’s General Assembly and other various other of its myriad of agencies each year. Hillel Neuer, the president of the group, UN Watch, recently stated, “We’re concerned about a new year that will bring escalated politicization of influential UN agencies worldwide, doing nothing to help Palestinians or Israelis on the ground, while inflicting yet further damage to the world body’s effectiveness and credibility.” Israel is considered the world’s most notorious nation state by the UN. Does this make sense? For how much longer can we close our eyes to the failures of this world-wide group of thugs? What can we, the United States do?
