Of course, it was not just Obama’s perfidy on display at the
United Nations Security Council last Friday. Other members states obediently
voted to side with terrorists over the Middle East’s only functioning free
market democracy.
Remind us, what has the United Nations done to stop the
bloodbath in Syria? While hundreds of thousands of Syrians are slaughtered, the
high and mighty Obama administration, led by the useless Samantha Power—who made
a career out of going into high dudgeon over genocide—has allowed the UN to
censure Israel.
If the UN is nothing more than a cabal to blame the world’s
problems on Jews, what use does it really serve?
Politicians from both sides of the American political aisle
have declared their intention to start depriving the UN of American funds. We
will see how many of them are willing to cast a vote against this superannuated
institution. I am assuming that it ever served a purpose.
Daniel Greenfield makes the case (via Maggie’s Farm):
After
an extended, and no doubt costly, visit to the region, the UN Special
Rapporteur on Violence Against Women blamed
Muslim men beating their wives on Israeli settlements.
No
wonder the UN Security Council just condemned them. Who wouldn’t rightfully be
upset that Jews living in Jerusalem somehow causes poor Mohammed to batter his
wife?
The
Jewish State is the UN’s scapegoat for anything and everything. The Palestinian
Authority blamed Israel at the UN for Global Warming. WHO denounced Israel for
violating “health rights.” And even when Muslim terrorists stab Israelis, it’s
still Israel’s fault.
As for the UN’s work to bring peace to other parts of the
world, Greenfield explains how well that has been going:
Just
this summer the UN admitted that it had spread cholera that killed tens of
thousands in Haiti. Sexual abuse allegations against its staffers were up 25%
last year. In the spring, the UN admitted that peacekeepers from three
countries had raped over 100 girls in only one African country. That’s not the
kind of international cooperation that any of the organization’s founders had
in mind.
Here’s
what we get for our $3 billion.
UNRWA
schools are turning out students who
want to fight for ISIS. The UN’s email system has been used to
distribute child pornography. UN staff members have smuggled drugs, attacked each
other with knives and pool cues, not to mention a tractor. This month the UN
marked Anti-Corruption Day despite refusing
to fight its own corruption. The former President of the UN
General Assembly was arrested on bribery charges last year. He had also headed
UNICEF’s executive board. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is battling
accusations of bribery.
Greenfield says that defunding the UN is not sufficient. We
should simply withdraw from the organization:
The
United Nations has never met any of its lofty goals. During the Cold War it
became a playground for the Communist powers. The USSR, the second signatory to
the UN charter, helped force out the first signatory, Taiwan. Even while the
treaty was being signed, it was taking over Poland, the 51st signatory.
These
days, the United Nations is a forum for Islamist powers and the rotting remains
of the Communist front to continue its war against the free world while
seducing weak-minded nations into going along.
We are
not making the world a better place by being members of this anti-American
organization which vacillates between being evil and useless.
And he concludes:
Where quarreling diplomats once preened in the
tower above Turtle Bay, seagulls will soar and young couples will walk with
their children. The billions we waste on the UN will go toward taking care of
our people. And once we are free of the UN, we will actually be able to promote
real human rights instead of pandering to the dictators and Islamists of the
United Nations.
Like
the League of Nations, the United Nations is a failed experiment. The only
difference is that, despite decades of wars, genocides and terror, we still
haven’t pulled the plug.

Defund, depart, and deport.
America should cut off all funding, withdraw it's membership, and send them packing. I'm sure they can find a welcoming home in Brussels, Geneva, or Berlin. Personally, I'd prefer Riyadh, a venue that would put a lid on the degenerate lifestyles of the whores and drunks that work there.
Sorry. "Its". Autocomplete is a mixed blessing.
I suspect the US would have vetoed the resolution if Hillary had won and made nice with Netanyahu.
But the Trump victory and its support from Israel made Obama and Democrats furious.
I'm with TW, except I'd suggest Pyongyang.
I wish I'd thought of that. Great idea, Sam. We could send Ares with his precious collection of little cognitive keepsake boxes as Official Observer.
By the way, I ran across an image of Lena Dunham posing as a mermaid this morning. At first glance, I thought it was a tragically disfigured manatee. Enjoy...

A relocation to Pitcairn Island seems a good location, if Pyongyang ain't available.
Then again, perhaps the Maldives, since all the climatophobiacs tell us it will be submerged soon.
Better idea: Get the UN out of the US.
Put it in some third world crap nation.
Though I detest being even the slightest bit disagreeable, I believe I've come up with the ideal location for UN Headquarters...
Null Island.
According to their website, "It's like No Place on Earth!"

I believe John Bolton said something like this of his tenure as Ambassdor to the UN, "It's not what I'm there to do, it's what I'm there to keep them from doing."
It's good that we have that spot on the Security Council seat to stop stupid things. But let's get real. Is the UN military, which rides everywhere on US equipment, going to enforce anything against Israel? If we pull out, they'll be flying coach.
