In addition, the PA will on May 7 become party to an accord protecting children in conflict zones—which is an optional part of the overall child rights treaty—and on July 2 it will adopt two agreements governing civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. …

Banning racial discrimination? Oh yeah, forgot . . . that whole “apes and pigs” and “subhumans” rhetoric against Jews is absolutely non-discriminatory, per the UN. (Never mind it being a joke that they “joined” treaties banning torture and protecting women’s rights.)

Raze the UN. We could build some nice apartments there and still have room for a park.
