At the UN General Assembly meeting this week, assorted totalitarians, human rights abusers and other despots – many sporting their countries’ exotic traditional costumes and headgear – will strut upon the United Nations’ stage, often to enthusiastic applause from a so-called “international community” made up mostly of their ilk.
The dominant theme of this year’s conclave will probably be the agenda of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Leaders from the 57 members of the OIC can be counted upon to demand an end to speech, videos and other forms of expression that “offend Islam.”
Unfortunately, the Obama administration has repeatedly signaled its willingness to try to appease such demands. It’s bad enough that our president and secretary of state are apologizing for this country’s freedom of speech. We mustn’t let them compromise it.

Arms Treaty

The United Nations is increasingly understood to be dysfunctional, corrupt and virulently anti-American. Incredibly, the Obama administration is seeking new ways to subordinate our sovereignty and even our constitutional rights to it.
The UN is expected shortly to finish negotiations on a new treaty governing the international arms trade. It will interfere with our ability help defend allies like Israel and Taiwan. Worse yet, it will be used as a vehicle for Team Obama to impose gun control wholly inconsistent with Americans’ right to bear arms.
The Senate is unlikely to approve such a treaty. Yet, it could still bind us if – as expected – President Obama signs it. Every effort must be made to dissuade him from doing so. An election year should be the perfect time to do that.

UNESCO Says Yes To Palestine

I never thought I would live to see the day when the Palestinians were actually doing something helpful to the United States, Israel and other freedom-loving people. Today may just be that day.
Not that that is the Palestinians’ intention, mind you, when they seek to become full-fledged members of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – better known as UNESCO. But it might just be the effect.
That’s because under U.S. law, admitting the Palestinians to UNESCO would trigger a cut-off of the 80 million dollars per year we give that notoriously corrupt and hostile organization. It would also be a booster-rocket behind new legislation recently approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee that would make all such UN contributions voluntary, instead of obligatory.
Go ahead, Palestinians, make my day.
