UN Isn't Collective Security - It's Failure, Paralysis by Design

UN's Relevancy Evaporated Long Ago, Failure Doesn't Threaten Its Immortal Bureaucracy

I watched Benjamin Netanyahu walk to the podium at the United Nations on Thursday of last week.

Before he could speak, easily three-quarters of the General Assembly walked out.

By the time "Bibi" began, the supposed gathering place of the world looked almost empty.

In one moment, the United Nations told us what it is:

• Not a forum for diplomacy.
• Not a room where enemies confront each other with words instead of weapons.

A stage.

The Palestinian mission had urged delegations to pack the chamber and walk out the instant Netanyahu was announced.

So they did.

Cheers.

Boos.
