As Prime Minister Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly, “enough is enough!”

President Biden is leaving America and the world in a far more chaotic, dangerous state than he found it when he took office on January 20, 2021

Simply put, the UN’s most “inclusive,” “democratic” body is complicit in the manifest evil of anti-Semitism, which no Summit of the Future or other UN-sponsored gabfest will even try to fix

Given the UN’s disgraceful anti-Israel bias in its handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Israelis’ negative view of the UN should be much closer to 100 percent.

Senior UN’s official’s candid opinion of Trump and the U.S. in general that was caught in a leaked recording

"This global behemoth and media powerhouse let loose a ferocious denial of Israel’s fundamental right of self-defense”

When it comes to the Islamist terrorists and their genocidal war against the Jewish state of Israel, the United Nations has been turned into a den for apologists of evil

The United Nations’ equation of Israel with the terrorists who have vowed to destroy the Jewish state and kill as many Jews as possible is another shameful episode in the UN’s repeated demonstration of intense anti-Israel bias

The General Assembly’s latest biased action endorsing the Palestinians’ fictional statehood further shreds the UN’s credibility.

The United Nations operates in a parallel universe where lies are made to look like the truth and evil is made to look good.

The usual rhetoric but no action against the terrorist Iranian regime

The United Nations system, including the UN Secretariat and most UN member states, regularly demonstrate a double standard where Israel is always accused of being the party in the wrong no matter the circumstances. Now Biden is joining the club

Hamas, not Israel, is responsible for the devastation in Gaza. Hamas broke the ceasefire when terrorists invaded Israel, killed about 1200 people, abducted more than two hundred men, women, and children, and raped innocent girls on Oct. 7, 2023

The International Court of Justice, created under the auspices of the UN Charter, has disgracefully closed its eyes to South Africa’s obscene misuse of the Court to thwart Israel’s right to defend its people from another Hamas genocidal attack

Biden administration has failed to take the lead in delivering decisive military blows to Iran’s terrorist proxies and to Iran’s IRGC. Until then, there will be no stable peace for Israelis, Palestinians, or anyone else in this war-torn area

The draft resolution that the U.S. vetoed on December 8th would have continued the UN’s pattern of one-sided anti-Israel bias. It deserved to be thrown into the circular file

Biden administration should have vetoed the resolution but abstained instead

Retaliatory airstrikes against the Iranian regime itself, such as destroying its Persian Gulf oil export facilities, might become necessary if the Iranian regime makes good on its foreign minister’s threat and significantly escalates its attacks agai

Israel is fighting for its survival against a morally bankrupt enemy whose genocidal slaughter of Jews in one single day has not been seen on this scale since the Holocaust

Fortunately, Israel will not be cowed by the opinions of the so-called “international community,” which too often gives the benefit of the doubt to the Palestinian terrorists who lie every time they open their mouths and murder more civilians

This time, Israel must say “never again” and take all military actions accordingly to make sure that the Palestinian terrorists can never conduct such strikes again.

This time Israel must not listen to world opinion when it is dealing with an existential threat to its very existence as a Jewish state

The international refugee framework needs major reform to effectively weed out the pretenders who brazenly lie and manipulate the system

As long as the Palestinian leaders remain in their own fantasy world rather than embrace opportunities offered to them for genuine peace, their people will continue to wallow in self-inflicted misery

The speech sounded more like a presentation at a high school model UN forum than an address by the leader of the free world on the global stage

UN’s annual High-Level Week will be devoted to meaningless speechifying and grand plans to redistribute the world’s wealth. Another in a long trail of wasted opportunities

The Chinese Communist regime’s shameless pretension that it is concerned about protecting religious holy sites in Jerusalem while destroying the religious holy sites of minorities in its own country is the height of hypocrisy

Also blocked keeping a vital border crossing to Syria open for delivery of humanitarian aid

To expect Israel to commit suicide as a Jewish state. That would suit the Palestinian militants, their leaders, and their enablers at the United Nations just fine

But his suggested remedies are highly problematic
