The Uselessness of the U.N. Has Been on Full Display Since October 7

In Gaza, the United Nations Relief Works Agency, UNRWA, is viewed as an adjunct of Hamas, and it has done little to belie that oft-leveled accusation. UNRWA’s employees are often Hamas members, the agency’s school curriculum buttresses Hamas’s anti-Israel and antisemitic agenda, and UNRWA HQ echoes the pro-Hamas line. But all the focus on UNRWA’s bias has overshadowed the Jew-hatred and anti-Israel mania in the rest of the United Nations. It’s time the United States stopped subsidizing it.

The sheer animal savagery of Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel shocked much of the world. In most Western capitals, leaders were quick to denounce the terror group. The Arab world aligned itself with Hamas. Iran’s allies in its self-declared “axis of resistance” celebrated the killings. And at the United Nations on that fateful day? Crickets.
