Israel has been the whipping boy of the UN or, rather, the perennial defendant in the dock at the kangaroo court on the East River, for decades. And now that UN has just passed a resolution “recognizing a Palestinian state,” which will have to be carved out of the already minuscule state of Israel. How the UN thinks it can persuade or force Israel to surrender territory to which it is entitled, because of 3500 years of Jewish history, because of the express provisions of the League of Nations’ Mandate for Palestine that assigned all the territory “ between the river and the sea” to Mandatory Palestine which, in time, would become the Jewish state, and finally, because of UN Security Resolution 242, which recognized Israel’s right to hold onto territory it won in the Six-Day War that it needed to hold onto in order to have “secure and defensible borders,” remains unclear.
Nor does the resolution explain what will happen to the 700,000 Israelis who now live in their historic homeland — where Jewish history was made — of Judea, Samaria, and east Jerusalem. Will UN troops arrive to uproot all those Israeli Jews, so that the “state of Palestine” can be made judenrein, as Mahmoud Abbas insists must happen? Given Israel’s military prowess, I doubt that the UN would be willing to take on that task. “UN overwhelmingly approves Palestinian statehood resolution as Israel calls it ‘theatre,'” Jerusalem Post, September
The UN General Assembly approved a resolution advanced by France and Saudi Arabia on Friday, which supports the advancement of an “irreversible” path to Palestinian statehood.
The resolution was approved by a majority of 142 countries, with 10 voting against and 12 abstaining, on the “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.”
The declaration endorsed by the resolution says the war in Gaza “must end now” and support the deployment of a temporary international stabilization mission mandated by the UN Security Council.
The United States described the vote as “yet another misguided and ill-timed publicity stunt” that undermined serious diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
“Make no mistake, this resolution is a gift to Hamas,” US diplomat Morgan Ortagus told the General Assembly. “Far from promoting peace, the conference has already prolonged the war, emboldened Hamas and harmed the prospects of peace in both short and long term.”…
The world is being played by the supposedly “moderate” Palestinian Authority. Mahmoud Abbas, the PA president, did not condemn the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 until June 10, 2025. It took a lot of American pressure to make him do so, and the only reason he did is not out of revulsion for the rapes, tortures, mutilations, and murders, but because he regards Hamas as a dangerous political rival and wishes it to be weakened. Other PA leaders have praised the Hamas attacks. And Mahmoud Abbas is not against terrorists in general. He continues to provide generous monthly subsidies to imprisoned terrorists and to the families of terrorists killed while carrying out their attacks. Abbas has said he will continue to fund this “Pay-for-Slay” program even with “my last penny.”
The seven-page declaration condemns the attacks by Israel against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza, siege and starvation, “which have resulted in a devastating humanitarian catastrophe and protection crisis.”
The IDF never deliberately attacks civilians. But because both the men and weapons of Hamas are deeply embedded in civilian areas and buildings, some civilian casualties are unavoidable. The IDF makes a tremendous effort to minimize civilian casualties. It has dropped millions of leaflets, sent millions of text messages, and made millions of robocalls, all to warn civilians away from places about to be targeted. West Point professor John Spencer, who has been studying the war in Gaza since it began, has concluded that “Israel has done more and implemented more measures to prevent civilian harm than any military in the history of urban warfare.” The results are clear: of the 64,000 Gazans killed— according to Hamas — in the present conflict, 26,000 were Hamas combatants, and another 19,200 died from diseases and accidents, not from the war itself. That means that so far 17,800 civilians have died because of the war. That is regrettable, but this happens in all wars. Hundreds of thousands of civilians, let’s not forget, were killed by the Americans in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Vietnam and Korea.
The UN has said that in all the wars since 1945, the civilian-to-combatant ratio of deaths on average has been 9:1, while in Afghanistan, the Americans managed to get it down to 4:1 and in Iraq to 3:1. But in Gaza, the IDF has managed to achieve the unheard-of ratio of 17,800:26,000, or less than 1:1.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the resolution secured the international isolation of Hamas.
“For the first time today, the United Nations adopted a text condemning it for its crimes and calling for its surrender and disarmament,” he said in an X post.
How nice. But also, for the “first time today, the United Nations” has recognized a “Palestinian state.” And that is terrible. Of course, the Arabs interpret this UN recognition of a Palestinian state as a victory for Hamas. Absent the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza, there would have been no “outrage at the genocide,” and no felt need by the “international community” to recognize that will-o’-the-wisp, a Palestinian state.
The PA is “moderate” only by comparison with Hamas. It was not until June 10 of this year that Mahmoud Abbas finally condemned the Hamas attack on October 7. Many of the PA leaders continue to praise that attack. And the PA shares the same ultimate goal as Hamas: the disappearance of the Jewish state and its replacement, “from the river to the sea,” by a state of Palestine that must be judenrein. The PA differs from Hamas only on tactics and timing.
The UN vote, so lopsided, so unjust, will no doubt make its supporters feel good. They have done something for world peace. They are on the right side of history. Of course nothing will come of this grotesque vote. Since the Hamas attack in 2023, 80% of Israeli Jews now say they oppose the creation of a Palestinian state. And they will not be moved out of Judea and Samaria or east Jerusalem. It was in those places, after all, and not in Tel Aviv or Haifa, where Jewish history was made over thousands of years.
At the UN, the dogs bark. The caravan moves on.

OLD GUY says
Oh what a surprise coming from the UN.
Bexarkat says
In 1948 the UN called for a state for Arabs and one for Jews. I am unsure what this recent exercise was about. Just because the Arabs refused to create their state for 77 years, it was never negated. Let them create their state with Amman as its capitol as it was to be once.
Walter Sieruk says
This United Nations resolution that cal for and supports the creation of a “Palestinian state” does give credence to proposed conjecture of some Christian scholars that the UN is a demonic institution , or at least a demon influenced institution’
For if that resolution would be put into action and a “Palestinian State ” would be made up, that would ,in time, lead to the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel .
For Jesus had declared If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand” Mark 3:24. [N.E.B.]

Any non-muslim who recommends a “two-state solution” does not understand islam.
Any muslim who recommends a “two-state solution” knows that this is only a gateway to a “one-state solution” that does not include Israel.

Walter Sieruk says
That United Nation resolution that calls for a recognizaton of a “Palestinian state” is in reality ,a call for increase of jihad violence bloodshed ,deadly mayhem that could almost lead to the destruction of Israel.
For example, Hamas had proven not only the its words but ,more terrible murderous actions, starting on October 7th, that it wants to completely destroy the State of Israel and even commit genocide worldwide on the Jewish people. That Hamas jihad attack and continued further Islam terror/murder attacks reveals the terrible folly and total lack of wisdom in the every idea of a two-state solution.
Therefore, that so called “two state solution” is not really a valid idea and not a genuine solution. It will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.
Thus, a “two state solution” is out of the question. .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
To put all this in another way , October 7th with those Hamas Islamic terror murderous jihadist attacks into Israel from Gaza exposes that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel. Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. Therefore, those “peace talks” are a hoax.
For the “Palestinian” leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. This insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad . Such sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocket attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel. For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]
JS says
Their “prophet” instructs them to hate and kill Jews because the Jews didn’t bend to his ideas. Their god? Worse than any imaginable Satan or demon.They also have great enmity to Christianity. And well… they have been massacring Hindus since the beginning of their time. As for the rest, one has to wonder how many people and cultures they’ve made extinct.
And finally…they hate and kill ALL INFIDELS and always have. Why is this so- called religion allowed to exist? Why was it ever permitted to be called a religion and why has it continued for so long? Islam must be deemed illegal and banned. I don’t say these things with ease but all of their deeds since they created their mass murder “religion” has harmed everyone in their wake. Now they’re here and in every western nation, and they create conflict, wars, and death.
Also, AI admitted that Muslims were a big part of Hitler’s SS other positions in their army. They break it down to the number of them and the position they held.
Unfortunately for the world, England hid their participation and let them go. Then England introduced all the different Muslim terror groups to each other – “to wipe out the fledging state of Israel.” ~ Mitchell Bard, Myths and Facts.

Quebec?
The Quebecois themselves voted against separating from Canada in 1980 and 1995. No one is forcing them to remain in Canada.
bill says
All is posturing by people who refuse to recognise the situation although they should know it. Hamas is never confronted as they know Hamas will never meet their conditiosn which are surrender completely and release all hostages. Hamas can end all military actions by surrendering, they want ot fight to the last man like the Nazis they are

U. S., stop paying for this “organization”.
It is a failed experiment.
If it wants to exist, let it move elsewhere
and let the members pay for it.
It is a foolish and damaging ruse.
