10 Reasons to Abolish the UN

When the United Nations began deliberation on the Palestinian Authority’s demand for a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state in mid-September 2011, it ignored the fact that the Gaza half of that proposed state is ruled by a group, Hamas, that has called for the destruction of Israel and a genocide against the Jewish people. This event, Daniel Greenfield writes, reminds us once again that the UN is “a democracy of tyrants” that has long since turned its back on the ideals present at its founding. Greenfield shows how and why the “world body” has become a theatre of the absurd in which injustice flourishes. From failing to prevent outbreaks of genocide across the globe, to creating a rancid regimen of double standards that obsessively condemns Israel, while allowing countries such as Syria and Cuba to head its Human Rights Commission, the UN has become part of the problem rather than part of the solution for international problems.
