Another Reason To Move the United Nations to Gaza

United Nations

Do you remember back in late September, 2024 when President Joe Biden, in one of his final acts on the world stage as president, gave his yearly address to the Star Wars bar crowd constituting the U.N. General Assembly? I do. In spite of the aging, addled, and decrepit Biden being disregarded as a PINO, President In Name Only, he actually did sprinkle in a mild rebuke to the world's largest concentration of pure anti-Semitism in one room. Here's a little bit on which he focused during his address.

Indeed, the world “must not flinch from the horrors” of Hamas’ 7 October attack on Israel, President Biden said and called for the return of the Israeli hostages taken during that attack and a ceasefire that will end the current conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire, now over, and the few hostages that were released, of course, were not something his administration could negotiate the final 15 months of his term in office. That part was empty rhetoric. 

As for demanding the world not flinch from the horrors of October 7th, the world isn't flinching. That's the problem. Many of the current occupants of Turtle Bay know exactly what happened on October 7th, and they still regard Israel as the aggressors, not the victims. 

It should be enough of a black eye for the UN to have installed, unanimously, Ambassador Abdulaziz M. Alwasil of Saudi Arabia as the chair of U.N. Commission on the Status on Women. When you run down the mental checklist of countries around the world with the strongest slate of women's rights statutes, Saudi Arabia is not the first, tenth, fiftieth, or even hundredth that comes to mind. 

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has attempted reforms, to be fair, but the 2024 Global Gender Gap Index still ranks Saudi Arabia at 126th out of 146 nations on the list. That's pretty abysmal. They are the last country that should be dealing with women's issues internationally. Ambassador Alwasil's first action as chair? Attacking the Canadians for being too hostile to Native Canadian women. Let that sink in for a minute.  

On the Israel front, the UN came out with another report today attacking Israel, calling them genocidal for the destruction of health care and reproductive care clinics in Gaza as part of the ongoing war against Hamas.

Genocide. The UN thinks Israel is genocidal because Gaza fertility clinics have been destroyed along with much of the rest of the Strip. There has been an attempt at genocide in that region, but it is not Israel against Palestinians.

There are still hostages, some presumed alive, many presumed dead, still being held by a terrorist organization literally committed to the annihilation of Jews, and the United Nations has got a case of the vapors because a Palestinian mom having trouble conceiving doesn't have a clinic to go to anymore in order to get treatment. 

As for the genocide claim, or massive targeted loss of life based on race or ethnicity, before the October 7th attack, the rough estimate of the population of Gaza was between 2.2 and 2.3 million people. Today, the estimate is around 2.1 million. There are roughly 55,000 Gazans that have been killed, Hamas fighters and sympathizers included in that mix, and roughly 100,000 Gazans have been fled the Strip. That's actually not a genocide. That's not much change in population at all. It's hard to throw the genocide word around regarding a population that is static in size.  

Eli Lake, the great Free Press columnist and podcaster, has always defended the U.N. staying in New York City. Not anymore.

As long as we're on the anti-Semitism front, a brief update to the Mahmoud Khalil situation. Khalil, of course, is literally the poster child of the Senate Judiciary Democrats, he being the Hamas-supporting ringleader of the latest wave of anti-Jewish protests on campus at Columbia University. He's currently in custody as a legal permanent resident, not a citizen, and about to be deported for his activities. All that is good and just. But even Border Czar Tom Homan got suckered a bit yesterday at a rally for Khalil.

Mrs. Khalil is very pregnant, and she's very tone deaf. 

Kidnapped, you say? Your husband, who supports the people who actually did kidnap Jews and are currently holding them against their will while you're speaking, has been kidnapped? I'm sure there's another seat on the plane headed somewhere besides here so at least your new family won't be separated.
