At a time when the Trump administration’s robust defense of Israel at the United Nations is shaking up an institution that has long been hostile to the Jewish state, the biggest bloc of developing nations at the U.N. has decided to bestow its presidency on the “State of Palestine.”
The move looks likely to increase pressure on the U.S. and Israel in the U.N. General Assembly, where the U.S. already invariably loses Israel-related votes by heavily lopsided margins.
There is no sovereign state of Palestine, but the self-rule Palestinian Authority chaired by Mahmoud Abbas has since 2012 enjoyed the status of “observer state” at the General Assembly.
With effect from January, that observer state will preside over the bloc of developing nations that calls itself the Group of 77.
The G77 today has 134 members, including seven of the world’s ten most populous nations. The grouping (sometimes known as the G77+China) accounts for 80 percent of the global population.
Comprising more than two-thirds of the membership of the General Assembly, the G77 is potentially a powerful voting bloc, and plays a particularly important role in budgetary matters. …

I’d like to see an eviction notice telling the UN that the US can no longer guarantee the safety and security of its “members”.
Crime in NYC would decrease overnight.
I understand traffic in the area would improve as well.
Why are we still funding these pro-terrorist, anti-American globalists?
Since the G77 comprises 80% of the world’s population, I’m sure they would not mind supporting 80% of the U n’s budget.
The UN continues to support terrorists. Nothing new here.
That begs the question as to why we even set it up to begin with. If the general public knew that Alger Hiss had written its charter and made it a clone of the USSR’s constitution, what would they have said or done back then? Anything so patterned is globalistic and pro-terrorism by default.
Withdraw funding and remove recognition of the diplomatic status of UN delegates and put them on the TSA one-way fly list- out of the US.
This would be an excellent time to stop funding the UN. IDK if we can evict them from the US but the subject should be explored.
Yes, pick out some of the more vulnerable 77 states and hurt them. Fear and reward govern most of the world.
Yeah, to dump their sorry asses and boot them out of OUR country. Make the UN move to Sudan or Zimbabwe....
So they “comprise a majority of UN members”?
BFD.
They shouldn’t be allowed to have an organized forum at all, whether on US soil or off.
Israel votes the same as us more than any other country. We and Israel have nothing in common with the group of 77 hellholes. If they want to be irrational,let them suffer the consequences and rot.
“It is none of her business. It is the business of the G77+China, 135 countries, who elected the State of Palestine to preside over that group for the year 2019....”
Where do these anti-Israel grifters get the money to run their little kaffeklatsche? Uncle Sam, I’m guessing...
The UN is not viable without the US.
Pull out, and the problem solves itself.
Withdraw funding entirely from the UN, withdraw our membership, and boot their low-life $h!+h0le a$$e$ out of NY and wherever else they might be in this country.

IOW, 80 percent of the global population lives under dictatorship. G77 is a spinoff of the grossly misnamed "Non-aligned Movement" of decades past. Thanks Olog-hai.

Will the media describe the UN’s move as “unnecessarily provocative”, like they do whenever President Trump does anything on the international stage?
