Biden Administration Caves to Globalist Demands for an Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza

President Biden has caved to the demands of his left-wing, progressive, pro-Palestinian base to take a robust stance against Israel in concert with the so-called “international community.” Thus, it is no surprise that the Biden administration stabbed Israel in the back at the United Nations Security Council on March 25th.

No Ceasefire in Gaza Without the Release of the Hostages!

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has, to his credit, condemned on a number of occasions Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack inside Israel on October 7th. Neither the UN General Assembly nor the Security Council even once have done the same. The Secretary General has also called for the unconditional release of all the hostages taken by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, while at the same time calling for an immediate, open-ended humanitarian ceasefire. The problem is that Mr. Guterres has failed to clearly link these two objectives together.

The UN’s Top Court Makes a Mockery of Justice

On the same day that the United Nations in New York honored the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, the UN’s Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) defiled these victims’ memory. The ICJ decided in its provisional ruling to move forward with a meritless case that South Africa brought against Israel, alleging that Israel has been committing genocide against Palestinians living in Gaza. South Africa claimed that it was simply enforcing rights protected by the international Genocide Convention to which both countries are signatories.

The U.S. Rightly Vetoes Another Anti-Israel UN Security Council Draft Resolution

For the first time during his two terms as United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter, which allows the Secretary General to “bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.” He did so to call for an immediate “humanitarian ceasefire” on the grounds that the fighting in Gaza is risking “the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in Gaza, which would have devastating consequences.”

UN Security Council Resolution on Gaza War Passes Without Condemning Hamas

The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution on November 15th that calls for “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors” for “a sufficient number of days” to allow full, rapid, safe, and unhindered access for UN agencies and partners throughout Gaza. The resolution also calls for “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups, especially children, as well as ensuring immediate humanitarian access.” After four unsuccessful attempts to pass any resolution regarding the Gaza war since Hamas’ brutal massacres of Israeli civilians on October 7th, the Security Council managed to do so this time. The resolution was adopted by a vote of twelve members in favor. No member state voted against the resolution. Three member states abstained (Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States).

UN General Assembly Demands Gaza Truce Now But Rejects Condemning Hamas

The Hamas terrorists hoard fuel and other necessities to feed their genocidal war machine rather than share their storehouses of supplies with the desperate Gazan civilians they govern. Hamas continues to fire rockets at Israeli civilians from densely populated civilian areas in Gaza and allegedly uses Gaza’s largest hospital as a cover for its military command and control center hidden underneath.

Dueling U.S. and Russian Draft UN Security Council Resolutions Fail to Pass

U.S. Secretary Antony J. Blinken addressed the October 24th United Nations Security Council Ministerial Meeting on the Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question. He minced no words in calling for the Security Council to “unequivocally condemn Hamas’s barbaric terrorist attack against Israel – babies riddled with bullets; young people hunted down and gunned down with glee; people, young people beheaded; families burned alive in a final embrace; parents executed in front of their children; children executed in front of their parents; and so many taken hostage in Gaza.”

How the UN Helps Hamas Promote its Lies

Israel unilaterally withdrew all its troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005 as a unilateral good faith gesture of peace. Hamas was elected by the Palestinian Gazan population to govern the Gaza Strip in 2006. There has been no election there ever since. After Hamas vanquished its rival Fatah in 2007 for total control of Gaza--executing, imprisoning, and expelling its fellow Palestinians in the process--Hamas turned Gaza into a base for launching successive terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.

UN Leaders’ Unconscionable Moral Equivalence in the Face of Pure Evil

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the president of the United Nations General Assembly Dennis Francis delivered remarks on October 9th regarding the war between Hamas and Israel that Hamas initiated two days earlier. They illustrate yet again the moral equivalence syndrome that the UN displays whenever the Palestinian terrorists attack innocent civilians in Israel and the Jewish state responds in self-defense.

The Day of Infamy When Hamas Slaughtered and Abducted Hundreds of Jews

The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas unleashed horrific attacks on a massive scale against Israeli civilians by land, sea, and air on October 7th. The terrorists launched their savage rampage on the Jewish Sabbath and holiday of Simchat Torah, committing numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity against defenseless Israeli civilians in what is being called Israel’s 9/11.

UN Refugee Convention Needs a Major Overhaul

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and many world leaders, including President Joe Biden, have called for changes to what they call the “outdated” UN Security Council by significantly expanding the number of non-permanent and permanent members. Converting the 15-member Security Council into a mini-General Assembly is a terrible idea and will render it even more ineffective than it already is today. The schisms among the five current permanent members, which prevent the Security Council from tackling difficult issues that range from Ukraine and the Middle East to Sudan, will only worsen by adding more permanent and non-permanent members to fulfill geographic and demographic quotas.

Netanyahu Lauds the Prospect for Peace with Arabs While Abbas Spews Lies and Hate

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a stirring address on September 22nd to the United Nations General Assembly, in which he declared that Israel is "at the cusp" of a historic breakthrough in fully normalizing its relations with Saudi Arabia.

The failure for decades to reach peace agreements with Arab countries beyond those signed with Egypt and Jordan, he said, was the result of the false premise that peace with the Palestinians must come first.

President Biden Delivers Flaccid Address to the UN General Assembly

President Joe Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly on September 19th as world leaders met for their annual UN High-Level Week gabfest in New York. He made a lame attempt to project U.S. leadership of the free world against the forces of autocracy. However, actions speak louder than words.

Preview of Upcoming UN High-Level Week

New Yorkers are gritting their teeth in anticipation of the massive gridlocks that will accompany the upcoming annual circus at the United Nations later this month, known as the General Assembly High-Level Week. As the 78th session of the General Assembly gets underway, about 145 world leaders will appear before the chamber, pontificate on a wide variety of global issues, and find reasons to avoid accountability for their own countries’ troubles and misconduct.

China’s Hypocrisy on Display at the United Nations

“The religious holy sites in Jerusalem bear on the religious sentiment of the followers,” China’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, declared at the UN Security Council’s briefing on the “Situation in the Middle East, Including the Palestinian Question” on August 21st. “We must take a clear stand against irresponsible provocation and incitement, earnestly respect the historical status quo of the religious holy sites, and respect Jordan's custodianship over the holy sites.” He also condemned what he called the “barbaric expansion of settlements.”

Russia Pulled Out of Black Sea Grain Initiative

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine has passed the 500-day mark. Russia’s campaign of brutality inflicted on the Ukrainian people has included its wanton launching of missiles and drones that have caused widespread civilian deaths and injuries as well as destruction of vital civilian infrastructure. Russia’s forces have tortured civilians in detention and abducted Ukrainian children.

UN Again Blames Israel for Fighting Palestinian Terrorists And No Two-State Solution

Earlier this month, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres criticized Israel’s drone airstrikes and ground operations to root out Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank city of Jenin as “an excessive force used by Israeli forces.” Describing it as “the worst violence in the West Bank in many years, with a significant impact on civilians, including more than one hundred injured and thousands forced to flee,” Secretary General Guterres laid all the blame on Israel.

UN Secretary General Highlights Threats from Digital Technologies and Climate Change

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres held two press briefings at UN headquarters in New York last week. The first briefing dealt with the risks of artificial intelligence and social media digital technologies. The second briefing dealt with climate change.

In his June 12th press briefing, Secretary General Guterres said, “New technology is moving at warp speed. And so are the threats that come with it. Alarm bells over the latest form of artificial intelligence – generative AI – are deafening.” He expressed the fear shared by many of the future evolution of AI that “completely abolishes human agency and creates a monster that nobody will be able to control.”

UN Honors Palestinians’ Narrative of a “Catastrophe” They Falsely Blame on Israel


The United Nations has sunk to a new low in its animus against Israel. On May 15th, the UN officially commemorated for the first time, pursuant to a General Assembly mandate, what the Palestinians refer to as Nakba (catastrophe). The “catastrophe” the Palestinians continue to whine about was Israel’s declaration of independence seventy-five years ago. The UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People organized a High-Level Special Meeting to commemorate “Nakba Day,” which included a keynote address by the President of the Palestine Authority, H.E. Mahmoud Abbas.
