They’re trying to maximize the damage they do before they have to leave.
“UN–Biden Plan to Thwart the Will of the American People,” by Anne Bayefsky, Times of Israel, November 11, 2024:
The United Nations and an embittered Biden administration are making big plans to do permanent harm to the state of Israel. President Obama produced the template for an end run around the result of the 2016 election: enable the UN to do the dirty work during the lame-duck term.
On December 23, 2016 – less than a month before leaving office – the Obama administration refused to veto a UN Security Council resolution (2334) that upended decades of bipartisan support for a negotiated settlement of key issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict. In a perfidious maneuver, Obama was photographed innocuously playing golf while the details of the dangerous betrayal were covertly being finalized with his UN Ambassador Samantha Power at Turtle Bay.
The endgame is simple: forget Congress and the election results. American sovereignty can be bent to the will of the United Nations.
The Security Council technique works like this. America withholds the veto and either abstains from a resolution or votes in favor together with the other veto-holding permanent members, known as the “Perm-5” (Russia, China, the UK and France).
The American Ambassador then makes a statement in “explanation of vote” about being even-handed (aka moral relativism), having Israel’s back (having just planted a knife in it), and downplaying the significance of the move for the allegedly ignorant American people (whose votes they just lost). The Russians and the Chinese will make speeches about protecting human rights and obeying international law. And the UK and France will laud the equal treatment of “all parties,” that is, of genocidal terrorists and a democratic UN member state fighting an existential war on seven fronts.
From now until January 20, 2025, the Palestinians and their UN partners have one central goal: to Trump-proof whatever UN move they and the Biden administration concoct.
In practical terms, Trump-proofing means one of two things. Adopting a resolution that cannot be reversed without Russian and Chinese approval (that is, agreement to withhold their veto). Or crafting a resolution with an implementation formula that does not require a return to the Council….

The evil is at work. “The man of lawlessness is at work.”
Ezekiel will be fulfilled, no matter what bo/biden/the hyena and the wild beast do or don’t do. Nefarious dealings will not keep the Scriptures from coming true.

If Biden tries to concoct an anti-Israel game plan which requires Russian and Chinese approval it will be the worst mistake Biden made. Trump and the Republicans can use that to sink Democrats for the next four years going into the next Presidential election. Unless Congress passes a Senate/House law there is nothing Biden can do by himself other than executive action which Trump can tear up on Day One. If Biden hates Israel so much and does this it will be a dumb move.
It is said that the UN Resolution that Obama did not veto that called Israel an “o>ccupier: even in Jerusalem was a message of Hate to Jews but what did it accomplish other than a vindictive spitefulness on Obama’s part? Nothing. Now Obama wants Biden to do the same thing? It only shows how much they both hate Jews and Israel.

If Biden can still eff things up in his remaining days, count on him doing so. What a travesty he has been to America, especially during his pathetic Presidency but actually going back to 1972 when he was first elected to the Senate. His political career reads as one long litany of incompetence, mendacity and corruption. He is a man with no honor and no virtues and he still has time to add to this infamous record.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
Biden is a nasty, vile, and somewhat demented old man.

I heard on JNS or somewhere else that Trump this time has an agreement w/ Russia to veto any anti-Israel resolutions that come up before January 20th 2025. Not sure whether to believe this, given how virulently anti-Israel Russia has been over the last year, but if it does materialize, good for them

There is a perfect picture of two slime balls. Neither can be trusted.
James Hoaglandj says
Absolutism at work. The Globalist Agenda- i.e. latter-day Communist International is fully on display in this methodology. With the help of the Supreme Lord perhaps they won’t be able to formulate such an anti-democratic piece of legislation; or, they will write something that is so obtuse no one understands what it means and thereby being inapplicable. These are the times when demonic/satanic intentions come graphically to the fore thereby making all good people grasp on to their Faith and become more resolute in our performance of God like activities each and every day!

Biden-Harris regime and UN working on ‘Trump-proof’ permanent resolutions to harm Israel

Just trying to do as much harm to our greatest ally on the way out the door. Just appalling.
