"Another week, another Israel bashing session at the United Nations.
Following the Hamas-led riots at the Israel-Gaza border on Friday that resulted in at least 16 dead, the U.N. Security Council responded by drafting a resolution calling for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to be investigated for the various Palestinian deaths. The resolution was vetoed by the United States, but the fact that the U.N. yet again put the blame on Israel instead of on the terror group Hamas, who are using civilians as human shields in an attempt to wage a war with Israel, is disgraceful.
This is par for the course for the Israel-hating U.N...
I would go a bit further: what does the U.N. do well, exactly?
It certainly doesn't do well addressing actual human rights abuses... Former U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has admitted that the international body 'could have done much more' to stop the Rwanda genocide...
What about global poverty? A 2012 study conducted by New York University's William Easterly and Mississippi State University's Claudia Williamson concluded that the U.N.'s aid practices are toward the bottom among aid agencies worldwide...
With all this mind, is the U.N. really worth the nearly $8 billion that the U.S. allocates toward the international body?
The unfortunate truth is that the U.N. is a far cry from the bastion of freedom that the Allied powers intended when they first formed the international body in 1942 to fight the Axis powers. Freedom-loving countries like the U.S. and Israel are the minority in the U.N.; so long as that is the case, no reforms will solve the structurally flawed nature of the incompetent and immoral U.N.
Therefore, there is only one viable option for the U.S., Israel and their ilk: leave the U.N.
Instead of subjecting themselves to indignant lectures from the world's worst human rights abuse, the U.S. and Israel should form their own international body consisting only of countries that share the West's values of freedom. Only then could we have an international body that can serve as an effective bulwark to evil and tyranny worldwide and leave the wretches at the U.N. to fade into irrelevancy."
