Destroy the United Nations

The United Nations, which emerged out of the ashes of the Second World War and the Shoah but which has come to embody that which it was initially formed to oppose, has long ceased serving any useful function.  Ironically founded in no small part to better secure the Jewish fate, the wretched hive of morally relativistic scum and Western values-loathing villainy has long succumbed to strongman sycophancy, noxious Arab supremacism, and perverse Islamist-Leftist dogma.  The grotesque body that once so pusillanimously slandered Zionism as “racism” has now doubled down on its obsessive Jew-hatred with Friday’s Security Council passage of Resolution 2334, a disgraceful screed that betrays Leftist attempts to legitimize the Yitzhak Rabin/Yasser Arafat-negotiated Oslo Acccords framework and seeks to unilaterally impose final settlement terms on the Israelis and the Palestinians that would enforce the (literally) indefensible “1967 borders” armistice line.

Notwithstanding that the “1967 borders,” decried by virtually the entire Israeli defense edifice and sardonically lambasted by many in the tiny Jewish state as “Auschwitz borders,” would shrink Israel to a mere nine miles wide at its narrowest point.  Notwithstanding that 2334 rewards the kleptocratic, jihadi martyr-subsidizing Palestinian Authority, which has turned down multiple generous Israeli offers of full-fledged statehood in this century alone, and of late has allied with Muslim Brotherhood offshoot Sunni sharia supremacist terror group Hamas in a “unity government,” for instigating a bloody “knife intifada” that consisted of stabbing as many Jerusalem Jews as the jihadists could find.  Notwithstanding that, under 2334, the two holiest sites in all of Judaism (the Temple Mount and the Western Wall) have their history scurrilously rewritten by Islamophilic revisionists so as to unfathomably render them part of “occupied Palestinian territory.”  Notwithstanding that, under 2334, the entire Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, where Jews have lived for literally millennia, is also deemed “occupied Palestinian territory” in its entirety.  Notwithstanding that, under 2334, Jesus (born as a Jew in Bethlehem) would have been considered an “illegal settler” in “occupied Palestinian territory.”  Notwithstanding that, as my friend Eugene Kontorovich aptly demonstrates, the actual underlying legal dispute with respect to Judea and Samaria is far from settled.

….

But by not only formally abstaining at the vote but (by all accounts) also surreptitiously working behind the scenes to lobby passage of Resolution 2334, the unhinged Obama Administration and its sharia supremacism-abetting foot soldiers in Foggy Bottom have truly struck a dagger into the very eseance of the American role at the U.N.  For decades, the U.S. could be counted upon to exercise its permanent Security Council veto to stop such misguided anti-Israel assaults in their tracks.  Indeed, many conservatives reluctantly acceded to U.S. funding and membership in the international body for something akin to precisely this reason.  Over my personal protestations, I have heard this express rationale from many conservative friends.

…..

That price is simple.  Donald Trump and the Republican-led U.S. Congress should declare war on the United Nations.  No actual bullets need be fired, but it is now time to do everything in our power to destroy any remaining claimed credibility and legitimacy for the U.N.  Yes, destroy.

…..

Finally, after congressional defunding, the building of a missile defense system in the literal ashes of the former U.N. edifice in Turtle Bay, and formal withdrawal, conservatives and U.N. skeptics must commence a systemic, profound assault in the public discourse to deprive the institution of any extant legitimacy.  President Trump should make an affirmative case for full withdrawal in his State of the Union Address, and he can supplement the formal case by (in true Trumpist fashion) adding the occasional mocking insult or two toward Ban Ki-moon and his illicit henchmen.  Trump can taunt their newfound inability to prevent the U.S. from taking whatever actions it wants to take vis a vis either the Sunni (e.g., Islamic State or Muslim Brotherhood) or Shi’ite (i.e., Iran) jihads.  Sitting conservative politicians should make a concerted effort to tout the benefits of our being constitutionally and geopolitically unshackled on the Sunday talk show circuit, and in other mainstream media more broadly.  Like-minded Western allies should be encouraged to follow us out the door and to not look back.  And if the mainstream Jewish establishment (represented by traditional, non-right-wing groups like AIPAC, AJC, and the Jewish Federations of North America) has any sense of pride and post-Obama era hardened realism as to the threats to Israel, it ought to enthusiastically join in this public relations effort.

….

What was once a well-intentioned attempt to prevent the excesses of European-style nationalism has long degenerated into a punch line.  And a bigoted Jew-hating punch line, at that.  It is long time to assure the same fate for this toothless body as was met by all the scores of groups who tried, but failed, over millennia in their own myriad ways to harm or eradicate the Jewish people.

Be gone already.  United Nations delenda est.
