Shameful that the delegates walked out. How childish and stupid.
Netanyahu spoke powerfully. But to a largely empty room.
Am I right in thinking that only the USA voted in solidarity with Israel? I have included the speech by the US spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus. Worth watching that too!
All the UN delegates who walked out while Bibi was speaking are a moral disgrace! Look, I’m no fan of Bibi myself but he gave a tremendous speech and the delegates as usual, were not being fair to Israel. The United Nations was a noble idea and it has so much potential but it largely squanders it with all it corruption, antisemitism and anti-Israel bias. It’s time to defund it and that funding will not be restored until it undergoes a massive overhaul. Antonio Guterres will be pressured into resigning as UN Secretary-General. UN Women will be abolished. The UN Human Rights Council will be reformed. The ICC and ICJ will also be reformed. Israel will admitted as a permanent member of the UN Security Council. The UN will issue a formal and sincere apology to Israel for the delegate walkout. The UN will pass a resolution revoking the Palestinians’ non-voting member status and revert them to observer status.
The UN will also pass a formal resolution affirming Israel’s right to exist and right to defend itself and a resolution declaring Zionism NOT a form of racism! The UN will start put a greater focus on the genocide in Sudan and the persecution of minority groups in Syria. The UN will make it mandatory that all UN member states MUST sign a declaration condemning antisemitism and October 7th in the strongest possible terms. The UN will create a new International Day of Antisemtism Awareness. The UN will appoint a new Antisemitism Czar who will track incidents of anti-Jewish bigotry around the world. All UN member states will also sign a declaration declaring that anti-Zionism is indeed antisemitism. The UN will push for the recognition of a Kurdish state immediately. As to the poem it was splendid, Daniel! It perfectly expresses what’s wrong with the United Nations.
Daniel, this is maybe my favorite piece of all the things I have read by you...and I don't even like poetry.
My father worked at the United Nations literally from Day One. I was raised within its embrace, infused with its values, in love with its mission. You can imagine the pain I felt (and indeed, my father felt) as this organization, in which we had so much hope, and to which we had given so much time and allegiance, devolve into a tool of antisemitism.
Amen! They have chosen their own self-destruction and annihilated justice. We know what eventually happens to these - I have no words for them, yet - but the sword of Islamic barbarism comes for them and then who will protect them now that they have denounced the only ones who would/could have saved Western civilization? No! Let them sign their own death warrants, as they do! The ink is dry! Isaiah and the Prophets have spoken. So be it! Thanks for sharing this.
Great article, thank you.

Thank-you Noah for your support. The current state of the UN and geopolitics generally is truly painful.

Thank-you Fred for your feedback. I am so happy that this poem was meaningful to you. The state of the UN is truly painful.

I agree Miryamnae.
