Quick Summary

An EU spokesman called on the U.S. to lift visa restrictions so that Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas can address the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), despite Abbas bypassing the restriction through a digital vote. Meanwhile, the U.S. allowed Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to attend in person during an ongoing proxy war with Iran. The author argues this demonstrates the U.N.'s exploitation of American soil and taxpayer money for anti-American agendas while ignoring real global crises. The article cites examples like resolutions targeting Israel but not China or Hamas, highlighting what it sees as the institution's moral bankruptcy and double standards.

Story summary

On September 17, the United Nations General Assembly voted to allow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to address the annual gathering of world leaders via video next week after the United States denied him a visa to travel to New York. The resolution received 152 votes in favor, with three against and four abstentions. This marks the second consecutive year that Abbas will speak remotely due to US restrictions on Palestinian officials, which affect about 80 individuals. Despite this, Palestinians can now participate virtually in UN meetings for a year if they are barred from entering the United States. Deputy US Ambassador Tammy Bruce stated that if the Palestinian Authority wishes to be seen as a partner, it must cease supporting terrorism and stop using diplomatic events for propaganda purposes.

By letting a European bureaucrat wave the 1947 Headquarters Agreement like a leash and confusing the public with a duplicitous narrative around the Mullah’s bloody regime, Washington has surrendered its sovereignty — allowing Turtle Bay to weaponize American soil for Western self-flagellation.
