The UN's Unprecedented Witch Hunt Against Israel
American Thinker ^ | 23 Jan, 2022 | Jordan Cope

While largely established to forge "friendly relations among nations," the U.N. has been anything but friendly toward the Jewish state: Israel.

In fact, the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) has long afforded a platform and impunity for those promoting Israel's destruction and the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their homeland. In 1974, the UNGA hosted the then-chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Yasser Arafat, who infamously referenced his "freedom fighter's gun" during his speech. At that time the PLO was an "internationally recognized terrorist organization" with its charter stating that "[a]rmed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine."

Some four decades later, terrorists still receive impunity in the UNGA. In 2018, the UNGA rejected a resolution that sought to condemn the terrorist group Hamas. While the assembly condemned antisemitic terrorism for the first time in 2021, it has targeted Israel in 112 resolutions since 2015. This represents a staggering 70 percent of all UNGA condemnations since then.

Sadly, the U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) fares not much better in its astonishing bias against Israel. While conceived to address human rights violations at large, 55 percent of its condemnatory resolutions have targeted Israel — a free multiparty democracy according to Freedom House. Further, the Council's Agenda Item 7, which targets Israel, remains the only permanent agenda item devoted to scrutinizing a single U.N. member-state, out of 193 total members.

The UN should be classified as a supporter of communism and terrorism. We should defund the UN.

The U.N. strongly reminds me of Obi Wan Kenobi's description of Mos Eisley spaceport: "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." All they seem to have time for is to compose anti-Israel resolutions and rape the women in whatever country they are sent to as "peacekeepers". More like "piece keepers". Millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have disappeared into the maw of this hive of villainy and I'd like to see even an iota of benefit from it.

U.S. OUT of the U.N.; U.N. OUT of the U.S. Let them open a little shack, befitting their effectiveness and worth, on some unnamed Pacific island.
