Trump Admin. To Cut Funding For UN ‘Peacekeeping’ Missions in Africa
by Shifra on December 13, 2018This is a good start. Next, how about turning that prime piece of Manhattan real estate into a parking lot? Via Free Beacon. The Trump administration plans to significantly cut U.S. support for United Nations peacekeeping missions in Africa as part of a broader strategy that seeks to better promote American interests on the continent, National Security Adviser John Bolton said Thursday. Speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., Bolton criticized “unproductive, unsuccessful, and unaccountable U.N. peacekeeping missions” that often lead to decades of U.N. occupation rather than conflict resolution. “We will only back effective and efficient operations, and we will seek to streamline, reconfigure, or terminate missions that are unable to meet their own mandate or facilitate...

US Opposes, For First Time, UN Condemning Israel’s Presence in Golan Heights
by Shifra on November 18, 2018In June, 1967, Syria, together with Egypt and Jordan, attacked Israel, and this became known as the Six- Day War. Israel captured the Sinai desert from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan, and the Golan from Syria. The Golan Heights is an elevated area in which Syria had built bunkers, and many Israeli civilians had been killed by Syrian sniper fire, making farming and fishing very difficult. Israel had been willing to return the land to Syria in exchange for peace, but Syria rejected this offer. The Golan was transferred to Israeli sovereignty by the Israeli parliament in 1981. Every year, the U.N. votes to condemn Israel for its control of the Golan. And every year, the U.S. abstains. Until...

Amb. Nikki Haley: Media Distorted U.N. ‘Laughter’ During Trump Speech
by Shifra on September 26, 2018Lib sites fell all over themselves, delighting in what they chose to interpret as world leaders “laughing” at President Trump. No, they weren’t laughing at POTUS. Because they know there’s a “new sheriff in town.” Via Free Beacon. United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said the media had it “so wrong” in its portrayal of some laughter during President Donald Trump’s speech to the U.N. General Assembly as a sign of global disrespect…. “The media has got this so wrong,” Haley said. “I deal with these leaders every single day. I know exactly how they think. Do they love America? No. Do they respect America? Now they do. When he said that, they love how honest he is, and it’s not...

Cash-Strapped United Nations Has to Hold Beg-a-Thon
by PopArt on July 29, 2018**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted by PopArt** OK guys, on the count of three, let’s all break out our tiny violins and play a symphony of sympathy for our beloved cash strapped United Nations! Via Fox News. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the U.N. is running out of money and is urging members to pay up amid a looming financial crisis for the international body. In a letter to staff this week, seen by Fox News, Guterres says he has warned member states of a “troubling financial situation facing the United Nations,” which he says is caused by late payments to the U.N. by member states. “Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the...

U.N. Report Blames Trump For ‘Poverty in U.S.’… Uses Data From Obama Administration
by Shifra on July 2, 2018According to the IBD, the U.S. gives the U.N. $10B a year… And what do we get for it? False, deceptive reports like this one. We also get to pay for “do-nothing” bureaucrats, support of terrorists and lots of U.S. and Israel-bashing. When is enough really enough? Time to pull the plug. As John Bolton once said: If the United Nations Secretariat building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference Via IBD. An uncritical Reuters headline says it all: “America’s poor becoming more destitute under Trump: U.N. expert”. The Hill’s equally blase headline: “UN poverty official: Trump exacerbating inequality.” The report — really a first-person narrative — released earlier this month, ripped President Trump...

UN Amb. Haley Walks Out On Palestinian When He Blames Israel for Gaza Violence
by Shifra on May 16, 2018Remember when Obama’s Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, stood up for Israel? Yeah, neither to I. But I do remember her ignoring the deaths of thousands of innocent Syrians, and kicking Israel in the teeth. Brava to Nikki Haley for standing up for the truth… and walking out when the anti-Israel haters began spewing their lies. And shame on the MSM for their anti-Israel biased reporting, which served to score Hamas a big propaganda “win.” Via Daily Caller. US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley had a simple response Tuesday when Palestine’s Ambassador to the UN blamed Israel for the recent violence in Gaza. Walk out. Haley stood up and walked out of the UN Security Council meeting...

Video) Nikki Haley: Jerusalem Was, Is, Will Always Be Capital of Israel
by Shifra on March 6, 2018After suffering through eight years of the Obama regime, with the wretched Samantha Power as our ambassador to the U.N., what a joy to have Nikki Haley at the helm. Amb. Haley spoke yesterday at AIPAC ( American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and she was treated like a rockstar. The Obama administration enables anti-Semitism at the United Nations Ignoring Aleppo, Obama, Ambassador Power target Israel Anti-Israel statement from 2002 may haunt Power’s UN envoy bid

Pakistan Approves ‘Anti-Blasphemy’ Law, Will Sit on UN Human Rights Council
by Shifra on December 27, 2017Pakistan has approved a law cracking down on online ‘blasphemy’ content, so that anything deemed offensive to Islam on social media could be punishable by death. The fact that Pakistan is now headed to sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council is a cruel ‘joke.’ And, as Tammy points out in today’s Washington Times column, it’s time to defund the U.N. Tammy Bruce: Rape, sex trafficking and the spread of disease on the U.N.’s watch Via CNS News. Days before it takes up a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council – for its fourth term in the council’s 11-year history – Pakistan’s federal cabinet has approved a legal amendment designed to facilitate an ongoing crackdown on “blasphemy” on social...

Time To Dump the UN: Vote Rebukes US for Jerusalem Move
by Tammy on December 21, 2017We pay for that dump to continue operating, it’s time we stop. We can use that money to pay for the border wall, and removing them from NY means we will gain some prime NY real estate. I think NY could use some affordable housing or even another park. Either will improve lives more than what that collection of malcontents does. Historically, the UN has made things worse in the world. Just ask Rwanda and Haiti. .@nikkihaley: "The United States is by far the single largest contributor to the @UN… We'll be honest with you: when we make generous contributions to the UN, we also have a legitimate expectation that our goodwill is recognize and respected." pic.twitter.com/yjzeG06Ttu — Fox News...

US Vetoes UN Resolution Rescinding Trump’s Jerusalem Declaration
by Tammy on December 18, 2017The scourge if the UN just got schooled by Nikki Haley on how, no, the UN is not the boss of us. Via Washington Times. The United States stood against the 14 other U.N. Security Council member nations on Monday by vetoing a resolution that called on the Trump administration to rescind its recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In a show of the widespread international frustration toward the administration’s recent moves on Israel, even U.S. allies Britain and France supported Monday’s resolution, which expressed “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem.” While the resolution, drafted by Egypt, did not mention the United States or Mr. Trump by name, it was clear to all involved...

Son of Hamas Founder Stuns UN Human Rights Council With Pro-Israel Speech
by Shifra on September 29, 2017Mosab Hassan Yousef is a son of a founder of the Islamist terror movement Hamas, and a convert to Christianity. Bravo to him for speaking the truth. But it you still take the UN seriously, consider who is on the “Human Rights” Council: Syria, Qatar, North Korea, Pakistan, Venezuela, Iran. The U.N. would do much more good in the world as a big parking lot in Manhattan. Via Free Beacon. A former member of the Hamas terror group stunned the United Nations Human Rights Council when he blasted the Palestinian Leadership Organization (PLO) during a speech to the body earlier this week. Before Mosab Hassan Yousef spoke on Sept. 25, many member states of the Human Rights Council, including the...

Venezuela Detains Oppo Leaders at Gunpoint, Remains on UN Human Rights Council
by Shifra on August 2, 2017Venezuela is running out of food, and it is reported that 75% of population lost 19 pounds amid the crisis. Leave it to the useful idiots who praise socialism, though: They will probably report this as a wonderful step the Venezuelan government is taking to reduce obesity. But which is more laughable, that Venezuela is on the Human Rights Council, or the fact that Saudi Arabia is also a member? Via CNS News. The United Nations’ secretary-general and top human rights official on Tuesday both expressed concern about the political crisis in Venezuela, but neither statement addressed the fact that the Nicolas Maduro regime is a member of the U.N.’s top human rights body. Amid calls for the Human Rights...

UN Declares Jewish ‘Tomb of Patriarchs’ Now ‘Palestinian Heritage Site’
by Shifra on July 7, 2017This is a new low for the anti-Jewish UNESCO. According to the Bible, the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Jewish people – Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah- are buried in Hebron. The Arabs revere Abraham, but how does this very ancient holy Jewish site somehow become “Palestinian” ? As Benjamin Netanyahu said, in 2015, when UNESCO demanded that Israel renounce claim of their religious sites: “The attempt to detach the people of Israel from its heritage is absurd…if the places where the fathers and mothers of the Jewish nation are buried… some 4,000 years ago are not part of the Jewish heritage then what is?” And, on a personal note, my mother’s cousins emigrated from Russia...

U.N. Agency ‘Sorry’ for Using Syrian Photo in Gaza Fundraising Effort
by Shifra on June 5, 2017It’s time to turn the UN building in Manhattan into a really neat parking garage, where it will finally do some good. Via Jerusalem Post. UNRWA has apologized for twice using a photo of a Palestinian child living in Syria, this time in its fund-raising campaign for Gaza. The double use of the photograph was brought to light by the Geneva- based group UN Watch, whose executive director Hillel Neuer posted both pictures on Twitter with the caption: “Left: UNRWA photo, Jan.27, 2015, of girl in Syria. Right: Same UNRWA photo, May 29, 2017, but now she’s ‘Aya from Gaza’ oppressed by Israel.” Next to the photo that it posted on social media last month, UNRWA wrote: “Imagine being cut...

Video: Nikki Haley Stares Down Russian Amb. Over Chemical Attack in Syria
by Shifra on April 5, 2017Brava to Ambassador Nikki Haley, the New Sheriff in Town Via IJR. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday confronted Russia directly in an impassioned address to the United Nations following a reported chemical attack in Syria on Tuesday…. “Men, women, the elderly, and children gasping for their very last breath,” she said. “And as first responders, doctors, and nurses rushed to help the victims, a second round of bombs rained down. They died in the same slow, horrendous manner as the civilians they were trying to save.” She then stared down the Russian ambassador and said: “How many more children have to die before Russia cares?”….
