The UN is very bad joke.

Although it set up Israel in the first place, the UN has become the main forum for Israel-bashing.

All in all, the United Nations is a bad joke with, for example, Iran currently chairing the Human Rights Council.

The UN General Assembly hasn't even had the decency to condemn the Hamas massacre and rapes of October 7th; it's failure to do so was actually applauded. Staff of the the UN The Human Rights Council even “praised” the massacre.

It took weeks for UNICEF to acknowledge the hideous treatment of Israeli children. And, what about various women’s rights groups in the UN lack of interest in the October 7 “rape-fest”, who eventually got around to rambling, only one week ago, about “all accounts” of offences against women, not the Israeli victims specifically.

The UN is “utterly useless” at preventing violence. They stand by as unbelievable crimes take place, “delegitimising” themselves. (Source: “What’s the point of the UN?”, Douglas Murray, 9/12/23)

Stephen Daisley writing in The Spectator 24th February 2022
also asked the question "What is the point of the UN?"

He said that the UN "Does not exist to stop wars. It exists
to hope that wars are stopped."

" No institution is perfect, or has supernatural powers to
stop war or despotism and perhaps nothing could have persuaded
Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine. But the UN's failure to
prevent one fifth of its permanent Security Council from
over running another member state should give us pause."

He continues with - "It may be that we will have to change how
we think about the UN or change the UN itself."

The current situation in the Middle-East certainly shows us
that the UN needs to transform itself inline with current
geopolitical realities to maintain its relevance and improve
its effectiveness. Times have changed over the decades.
The UN has changed from 50 countries in 1945 to 193 countries
today.

We're told by various commentators that "The General Assembly
needs to be revitalized. The Security Council needs to be
reformed. And, the economic and social Council needs to be
reinvigorated. That the relationship between the General
Assembly and the Security Council needs to be strengthened."

We're told that:

"The work of the UN impacts people around the world on issues
related to peace and security, development and security rights
from disarmament efforts to combating terrorism and extremism,
from conflict prevention to peace keeping and peace building,
from disease prevention to the promotion of gender equality
and universal education with refugee resettlement, to
humanitarian assistance, from the rule of law to the fight
against transnational crime."

The UN does need to
transform itself in line with current geopolitical realities
to maintain its relevance and improve its effectiveness.
Not sure how this can be done - in getting people to agree.
But it needs to be done.

Anti-Semitic incidents in Australia have risen by 737% from last year.

. Death threats, graffiti
. Beatings
. Chants of ‘intifada’, ‘gas the Jews’, ‘f..k the Jews’

In October, 662 anti-Semitic incidents were reported. At the same time last year, ‘only’ 79 anti-Semitic incidents were reported.

No action has been taken against the anti-Semite, anti-Israel supporters and pro-terror thugs, of course, even though there is adequate legislation to do so.

It is clear that Australia is becoming like all the other non-democratic hater-countries infesting the United Nations.

Embarrassingly, Jews are now warned not to visit Australia.

Mass immigration and multiculturalism have changed Australia beyond recognition. Successive governments have allowed hordes of barbarians to import their cultures and vile hatreds.

Politicians will import anyone, and pander to them, if they think that they can get their votes; character, ingrained culture, and decency don't matter. More than 800 Visas given to Gaza Arabs in quick time, when official, experienced operatives take months, even years, to verify the suitability and security status of people claiming refugee status

In the UN, Australia shamelessly voted for a ceasefire by Israel that would strengthen Hamas terrorists. Hopefully, Israel will continue and succeed with its intention to wipe out Hamas - with one hand tied behind its back by the UN and gutless countries like Australia.

WHO is a branch of the United Nations that perpetuates the organisation's bias and anti-Semtism by painting Israel as a health violater, ludicrously accusing it of not giving non-Israeli Arabs equal access Covid vaccines - instead of blaming the Palestinian governing authorities, including Hamas.

Contrast that bigotry with WHO's silence on Hamas's deliberate disabling of Israel ambulances, and Hamas's murdering of Israeli first responders.

And let's not forget the terrorists’ use of hospitals as arms stores and resultant deaths of their own people.

The United Nations has normalised one-sided condemnation of Israel, and the Albanese government is part of that shameful position. It's not just the non-Western, undemocratic totalitarian countries at fault any more. No self-respecting nation should have a bar of the UN, let alone pay for it with taxpayer money.

United Nations-financed schools are using money from countries like Australia to teach Palestinian to hate Jews.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) provides, among other things, schools for the children of Palestinian refugees.

Since the Hamas atrocities of October 7,it has been reported, in the UN, that UNRWA teachers are celebrating Hamas terrorism on social media and in schools foolishly funded by the West, to indoctrinate Palestinian children and keep the hatred of Jews going.

Two hundred of these teachers have been identified. They still have their jobs. They are still getting $1 billion a year from the UN - and us; and, presumably Israel, which pays its dues to the dreadful UN.

Dear Foxy,

It was interesting seeing China vetoing A US resolution on the Israeli/Gaza conflict a couple of months back calling it "evasive" and "seriously out of balance".

While it is not all that edifying having one serial human rights abuser calling out an abuser such as Israel it was welcome none the less.
