A Tibetan man protesting China’s occupation fatally set himself on fire outside the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan on Thursday evening, capturing the horrifying scene on livestreamed footage. The protester, identified by a friend as Lobga Rangzen, was dressed in full monastic garb when he planted a Tibetan flag on the sidewalk and then self-immolated along the busy street during the evening rush, according to the video. He scattered pieces of paper as he burned to death. Rangzen, who has lived in the US for about 20 years and worked as an Uber driver, crumbled to the ground less than...

President Donald Trump's Board of Peace announced on Wednesday that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for "Palestine Refugees" can not partake in rebuilding Gaza. The Board of Peace shared a post on X by the US Mission to the UN stating: "UN Member States have a choice: Fund incitement, terrorism, and stagnation with pledges to UNRWA. Or fund the Board of Peace, giving Gazans a path to peace and prosperity. History will not forget." The Board of Peace added: "UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza. We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid...

WATTERS >> The Democratic Party is getting squeezed and they're not even putting up a fight. This is the new battle. HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy joins us now. How you doing, Mr. Secretary? RFK >> I'm very good, Jassee. It's good to be back with you. WATTERS>> Good to see you. So, your father, your uncle fought communism hard. How much of a danger do you think this new breed of communism is here in America? RFK>> I'm very concerned. I don't think my father and my uncle would recognize the Democratic party today. And you know all the the...

The United Nations International School, a private school for the children of employees of the global body, canceled an end-of-year school dance after students wrote antisemitic and homophobic messages in each other’s yearbooks. The incident occurred during yearbook distribution to M4 students, the school’s eighth-grade class, last week. Administrators at the school were alerted by the early afternoon that hate speech, including swastikas and antisemitic and homophobic remarks, had been written in the autograph sections of multiple yearbooks, according to emails sent to parents and staff, which JNS viewed. The school immediately confiscated as many yearbooks as it could and...

It's so easy... first you shoot the arrow....then you paint the targetRetroactive justification.When the UN's traditional anti-Israel blocs want to level a particularly inflammatory accusation, they package a predetermined verdict as the result of an "independent inquiry." The only real investigation appears to be finding new ways to manipulate methodology, ignore inconvenient facts, or recycle outright falsehoods in service of a conclusion that was decided in advance. The goal is not to discover the truth, but to give a political narrative the appearance of due process.For decades, it is difficult to find a single UN statement on Israel that did...

The United Nations International School in Turtle Bay sent a letter to parents Wednesday announcing it confiscated the yearbooks that also contained racist language and launched an investigation to determine “consequences” for those involved.The school said it discovered “hate speech, including swastikas and antisemitic, xenophobic, racist, and homophobic remarks” in the “autograph” section of multiple yearbooks.

Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres under its French name is one of the larger left-wing ‘global aid’ NGOs intertwined with the UN and which function as the best friends of Islamic terrorists. In between the usual preening fundraisers for more aid (give us money or the children will die) and parroting Islamic terrorist propaganda (every air strike on terrorists actually kills babies), Doctors Without Borders were doing the usual thing that ‘professional humanitarians’ do in war zones. After whistleblowers reported that MSF personnel had been trading food and water for sex to underage girls and other sexual abuses...

Ahmad Chalabi is in possession of "miles" of documents with the potential to expose politicians, corporations and the United Nations as having connived in a system of kickbacks and false pricing worth billions of pounds. That may have been enough to provoke yesterday's American raid. So explosive are the contents of the files that their publication would cause serious problems for US allies and friendly states around the globe. Late last year and several months before Paul Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority became involved, Mr Chalabi had amassed enough information concerning corruption in the oil-for-food scandal to realise that he was...

More than 100 staff at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian refugees have been referred for suspension or debarment from taking US taxpayer dollars after a federal watchdog found they had helped Hamas carry out the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack against Israel. The US Agency for International Development’s Office of Inspector General (USAID) submitted 101 more names for debarment or suspension based on their “participation” in the attack that killed 1,200 in Israel — including 46 US citizens — or “affiliation” with Hamas’ military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades. “Among the individuals referred were UNRWA school...

Full title: Future of controversial US military base Diego Garcia hangs in the balance after UN rules the Indian Ocean archipelago was illegally seized in the 1960s by Britain and should give be given back to Mauritius The future of a US military base constructed on a British territory in Mauritius has been thrown into doubt after a United Nations ruling on Monday. The UN's high court has ordered the United Kingdom to give the Chagos Islands back to Mauritius after an investigation revealed they'd been seized under illegal pretenses during the 1960s and 70s. This could, however, also cause...

The United Nations is going broke as the U.S. and China withhold payments to the institution in a jostle for control. Washington has failed to pay billions of dollars owed to the international body and exited dozens of its programs and agencies, including the World Health Organization, to combat what President Trump describes as wasteful spending and bad policymaking. The U.S. is more than $4 billion in arrears to the U.N. China has compounded the U.N.’s liquidity crisis by slow-walking its own payments, even as Beijing declares itself the organization’s leading defender and, in a jab at the U.S., the...

Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon. “Anyone who is able to include Israel on the same list as Hamas terrorists and rapists has no sense of morality,” he said. “Antonio Guterres, who justified the October 7 massacre, whitewashed the involvement of UNRWA employees in the massacre, and led the organization to an unprecedented low, is using the last months of his term to advance political and false accusations against Israel.” - The United Nations has added Israeli entities to a blacklist of countries that commit sexual violence in conflict zones, The Jerusalem Post has learned. The list includes Hamas and...

Faith FactsUnited Nations added Israel to its blacklist of entities accused of sexual violence in conflict zones, placing the democratic nation alongside terrorist organizations Hamas and ISISIsraeli Ambassador Danny Danon condemned the decision as disconnected from facts and reality, calling it a moral failure by the international bodyThe controversial listing comes despite documented evidence of sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians during the October 7 attacksIn a stunning and morally questionable decision, the United Nations has placed the nation of Israel on its official blacklist of entities accused of committing sexual violence in conflict zones.

The federal investigation into staff at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency—the U.N. Gaza relief organization that's been closely linked to Hamas—will soon encompass at least 1,500 UNRWA-linked individuals suspected of terror ties. This unprecedented dragnet—reported here for the first time by the Washington Free Beacon—exposes an aid group brimming with Hamas operatives, and is generating momentum in Congress and the Trump administration for harsher sanctions on the embattled aid group, according to congressional staffers briefed on the matter. The punitive measures up for consideration include stripping UNRWA of its diplomatic immunity under U.S. law, which would open it...

Israel is condemned for surviving a massacre while regimes guilty of actual ethnic cleansing and mass slaughter escape outrage and scrutiny. Since October 7, we have been lectured nonstop about the supposedly singular sins of Israel. The campuses, the left-wing media, and the new Democratic Socialist officials, both federal and state, following the cue of student activists and professors from the Middle East, have painted Israel and their Jewish supporters as Nazis, fascists, and among the worst murderers in today’s bloody world. This is nonsensical. The medieval-style massacre of 1,200 Jews in their homes on October 7, during a time...

On Monday, the European Union announced sanctions on Israelis, including Daniella Weiss, the 80-year-old former mayor of a Jewish community in Judea and Samaria, and on Tuesday, it invited the Taliban, an Islamic terrorist group allied with Al Qaeda, to come to Brussels for talks. “Extremisms and violence carry consequences,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned Israel. Obviously. And the consequence of extremism and violence is an invite to Brussels.At least if you’re a Muslim terrorist. Over the last decade, Islamic terrorists associated with ISIS, an Al Qaeda splinter group, have killed over 34 people in two bombing, four...

The U.N. special rapporteur, who has a history of spreading Jew-hatred, was properly served by two Christian charities, who allege that she defamed them, according to a district court in Colorado.

President Trump took a victory lap late Saturday after a prominent international climate change panel backed off using some of the most aggressive doomsday estimates after determining that they were not the most plausible outcomes. The United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had quietly adjusted its modeling framework of a 4–5°C warming by 2100 last month. That framework had underpinned a myriad of other analyses predicting terrifying consequences for greenhouse gas emissions. “GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that ‘Climate Change’ is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that...

Marco Rubio’s Department of State is trashing a globalized pro-migration scheme by the United Nations, and is promising to help migrants’ remigration back home. “The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and U.N. efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies,” said a May 11 tweet from the Department of State, adding: For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies… Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration — not replacement migration. The...
