U.S. taxpayers pick up nearly a quarter of the United Nations budget each year but the world body is so anti-American despite our global leadership role critics have long wondered why we remain a member.
Case in point: On Thursday UN members rejected a U.S. proposal to condemn Iran proxy Hamas for its serial acts of terrorism, mostly against Israel. If a majority of the UN’s members hate anyone more than the U.S., it’s Israel.
The resolution was about as straightforward as it gets. It would have condemned Hamas for “repeatedly firing rockets into Israel and for inciting violence, thereby putting civilians at risk.” It would also have demanded that Hamas “and other militant actors, including Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” stop all provocative and violent actions while additionally condemning Hamas efforts to build tunnels to infiltrate Israel and launch rockets into civilian areas.
You would think that most countries would agree that targeting civilians with acts of terrorism is a violation of international law and norms. But apparently, you’d be wrong.

Sen.Joseph McCarthy (of blessed memory) said, “Let’s give red China a seat at the United Nations — ours!” We should’ve listened to him.
It’ll be okay until they’re attacked then they’ll yell for US assistance.
Of they’ll just roll over, like the EU.
US out of the UN, UN out of the US.
The EU is pretty much Islamic.
If ONLY we had a guy savvy in NYC real estate in charge......
The UN was the brainchild of a communist spy - Alger Hiss.
There is no legitimate reason for our continued membership in or support of, the UN.
Tax payer revolt!
