Republican lawmakers on Wednesday introduced yet another bill targeting United Nations funding, this time including a special focus on the U.N. Human Rights Council’s heavily anti-Israel agenda. […]

It calls specifically for U.S. funding to be withheld until the president certifies that no U.N. agency or affiliated agency grants official status or recognition to any organization promoting or condoning anti-Semitism.

American taxpayers account for 22 percent of the regular budget of the U.N., plus almost 29 percent of the separate peacekeeping budget. The U.S. additionally provides billions of dollars more each year in “voluntary contributions” to a spread of U.N. agencies, ranging from the International Atomic Energy Agency to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). …

WEAK! We need a permanent defunding, with no need for certifications. Bills like this are hidden attempts to water-down.

Oh how I hope the UN votes again to lecture the Jews in Israel about how "racist" they are and continue to excoriate the white people of the United States.

So hoping President Trump will take a good hard look at the UN, especially the financials.

The UN has nothing to do with peace or freedom or Liberty, it is less-than-worthless.
Kicking the America and Israel-hating UN out of America at long last and evicting it to Caracas Venezuela is the way to go!

WTG President Trump!
