Andrew Lee Butters, a member of the “terror troika” of Time Magazine wrote an essay titled, Is Israel losing the media war in Gaza? Asking the question means, of course, that he believes the answer is “yes.” But here’s a different question. Is the…

If you want to destroy it then you’ll have to create a competing entity… probably within the UN itself. After all, the UN does a good job of providing translators and corresponding with various governments. It’s problem is these sub committees are all crazy. So we create competing sub committees that can’t be taken over or that are structured such that they can’t be taken over.

As to kicking the UN out of New York, I don’t see the point of that. Why? The building isn’t doing us any harm.

The UN stopped being a solution decades ago, and can’t even qualify as a benign non-entity any longer. It’s become part of the problem. Barack Obama and his team of internationalists won’t do it, but the US needs to re-evaluate its entire relationship with Turtle Bay. And our first action in that re-evaluation should be the complete halt of all monies to the UN.

We should drop out of the UN NOW and turn the UN building in NY into a homeless center/school/job training center to hep put peopl back to work!

The UN is nothing but supporters of Islamo-fascists and Jihadi apologists!

The UN is a worthless sickening farce and must go!!

+points for the “groaner” of the day…

How is Barry going to treat Hamas? Is he going to stand up to them or kiss them on both cheeks balls and “negotiate” fellate?

FIFY

And here all this time I thought that the UNRWA was just a terrorist boondoggel! The UNRWA is so enmeshed with Palestinian resistance that you can’t separate the terrorists from the UN peeps with a crowbar.

Joined at the hip.

UNRWA school in Gaza employed terrorists

Surprise, surprise.

The bill called on the agency to make its textbooks available on the Internet for public inspection…

While we’re at it maybe we could get the textbooks used in our public schools put on the internet for public inspection.

And our first action in that re-evaluation should be the complete halt of all monies to the UN.

Wouldn’t the halt of monies to the UN come after re-evaluation, not before? That at least is within the realm of possibility.

Don’t forget LOST, the Law of the Sea Treaty. If that goes through, the UN rules the seas and will be thenceforth “self-funded” through fees and fines, and they would happily do without our contribution, and influence.

Oh f*ck , that will be global socialism.

Now, if a similar poll were conducted here in the US, I have to believe that an overwhelming majority would favor our financial contributions to the United Nations be cut, if not completely, then at least significantly.

The UN super-bureaucracy costs money…requires it, and if you look at the upper-level wage structure inside the UN you’d find it on par with any number of Fortune 500 executive pay scales. The UN has over-reached its boundaries in so many ways, and programs once designed for benign purposes are consistently being perverted into creatures that no longer are benign and no longer of useful service to those they were designed to assist…save for the bureaucrats running their multi-million dollar budgets.

Surprised that the UN is offering aid and comfort to Hamas instead of the “poor Palestinians?” Why should you be? This is a routine pattern…suck up to dictators under the guise of “we need to so we can have access to the ‘people’.”

It won’t happen with the incoming Administration…that’s a pipe dream…but at some point, and soon, we need to reassess our financing of the UN, go to an a la carte menu if we contribute at all, but above all, we need to ask seriously why scarce American dollars are being spent so the UN can enrich themselves and so many, too many, tinpot dictators across the globe.

In the meantime…if the UN permits Hamas to enter their facilities and while there fire upon Israelis, the UN should understand they have abrogated ANY right to protest incoming Israeli artillery or guided munitions.

Yeah. That’s what I’m afraid of. His willingness to bend over for his Far Left Supporters, like the “Bishop” Robinson
inaugural Invitation,is a very real warning sign.

The problem with Hamas is they have shown there is little or no chain of command within the ranks, or they are allowing their “lieutenants” to continue to launch rockets into Israel. They have already admitted to deploying weapons and armaments next to schools, churches, and other public buildings using their citizens as human shields. Why doesn’t the world’s “opinionators” and diplomats blast Hamas for these tactics? They are banking on the same public opinion that forced Israel to halt the assault in the Hezbollah war in Lebanon.

Choose any country in the world, and duplicate the scenario that’s going on in Israel—-where Kassam rockets are fired continuously into a neighboring country. How long before some one says enough is enough? What if a radical faction set up shop outside Montreal and started firing rockets into upstate New York while the Canadian government claimed they have no control to stop the assault? How many years, days, minutes would the U.S. put up with this? As long as Hamas, Hezbollah, (and their big brother/supplier of arms, Iran) continue to maintain their sole purpose is to exterminate Jews from the face of the earth, ideologies and a quest for a peaceful existence will remain unattainable. It may be time to cut off the head of the snake, which is the Iranian influence and the source for most of the conflicts in the Middle East. The world has to stop turning their collective “blind eyes” to the root cause of this war and the destruction of human life. The Supreme Leader in Iran, (Ali Khamenei), and the Expediency Discernment Council (headed by Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani) must be served the ultimate notice——enough is enough!

How is Barry going to treat Hamas? Is he going to stand up to them or kiss them on both cheeks and “negotiate”?
