United Nations votes down US-authored resolution condemning Hamas

Dec 8, 2018 12:05 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine the moral corruption that would be required for someone to refuse to condemn Hamas, an organization that makes no secret of its genocidal intentions, and passes out candies when Israeli civilians are slaughtered. The UN is as evil as Hamas, and should not be receiving any American money or occupying any American soil.

“US-Authored Anti-Hamas Resolution Thwarted at UN, but Israel Hails Growing Support as ‘Historic Achievement,’” by Barney Breen-Portnoy, Algemeiner, December 6, 2018 (thanks to Phil):

A US-authored resolution condemning the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas won a plurality of votes in the UN General Assembly on Thursday, but a procedural move initiated by its opponents thwarted its passage.

While 87 countries backed the motion, compared to 57 that rejected it (with 33 abstentions), it did not meet a 2/3 majority requirement that was put in place — with the support of a group of Arab nations — just before the vote.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon nevertheless hailed the vote as a “historic achievement” — in that a “record number” of countries got behind an anti-Hamas resolution.

The last time the US put forth a motion denouncing Hamas, in June, the vote was 62-58 in favor, with 42 abstentions — a smaller plurality that also failed to reach a 2/3 threshold.

“The broad support from the world demonstrates the changes we have made in the UN,” Danon said on Thursday. “With the support of these countries, we will continue our work in the UN against Hamas terrorism.”…

    Our PM plans to sign the migration compact so obviously he supports the U.N. I wondered how he voted on this resolution. I’m from Canada. He’s one of the worst things that has happened to us.

      I’m in the U.S. My heart breaks at what your current PM is doing to his people. He seems to want to serve everyone else, but you. Sad, scary, bizarre.

      Principles of the UN migration compact:
      1) Hide the real purpose behind the compact.
      Don’t tell the public that the UN aims to transfer millions of parasites to civilized countries under the pretence of refugee status.
      2) Lie to the public about the reasons for the compact.
      To rid the countries of child mass production of the surplus population.
      3) Pretend that the migrationemitting countries are prepared to receive bacjk unwanted migrant.
      The migrant originating countries would never dream of readmitting their own ‘difficult’ citizens.
      4) Tell the naive Dhimmi countries that muslim migrants are a blessing and a boon for islamfree countries
      Hardly credible ‘tall story’, as muslim migrants statistically at twice as criminal as the average local population.
      Lie after lie after lie. The UN is fake news.

      Yes Trudeau is a typical spoilt rich kid ignorant moron and sadly the left totally support useful idiots like him. BUT sadly New Zealand (the country I was born in) has now become a national disgrace also!!! I am ashamed to be a kiwi, especially now that this Labour and equally socialist, ignorant female Prime Minister is backing groups like Hamas. Not to mention NZ co-sponsoring along with (not unexpectedly) Malaysia and Indonesia the most disgusting resolution ever in the United Nations against Israel – AT THE REQUEST of Obama and his creepy henchman John Kerry.
      I am in the process of dissolving my NZ citizenship I am so disgusted and ashamed of NZ,

        Don’t be ashemed of your country. The government of New Zealand will ,in time, change to something more sensible and will be there for the welfare of its citizens, not for muslim nutjobs and terrorists.

    Hamas and terrorism are the same; they hate Israel and are pure muslims which is they hate anything and anyone not like them. maybe more folks will wake up eventually. . . .

    The UN, like the EU, the bureaucracy set up to enforce the Trans Pacific Trade Pact, and other international bodies, is a non-accountable bureaucracy permanently exerting pressure to centralize control and dissolve national prerogatives.

    In the end, what’s the difference if the UN actually votes to condemn Hamas? The UN will still be under the effective control of the 56 members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the bureaucracy will still be constructing monstrosities like the UN pact on migration rights. Every dollar going to the UN is like the US taking a small drop of poison.

    The UN is used as cover by the US for actions it probably shouldn’t be taking anyway. For instance, the attack on Iraq in 1991. If it was in US interest to push Iraq back, it should have been a US operation, geared totally to US interests, and concluded completely on US terms. Spreading the effects of bad decisions among multiple countries is like distributing Muslim migrants to all the countries in Europe: you can paper over the bad effects for a time, but they come back to haunt you anyway.

      I think the first order of business should be to draft a condemnation of the UN itself and suggest, without prejudice, that the UN take itself off forthwith. Relocate to say Iceland or Greenland, just get the hell off American soil! Seems reasonable to me.

    Another disgracing setback for Jewish slave state the brigand evil United States against oppressed Palestinian people. This is a rascality, after fascist evil Zionist State massacred Palestinians ,the evil United bringing a drafting a UN resoulition to condemn HAmas for allowing themselves to be killed? Hamas is a genuine resistance group against illegal occupation of Palestinian territory by fascist evil Zionist State of Israel . No wonder the idiot Zionist agent bastard murderer Ibn salman ordered voting for the resolution as part of that sinister agenda he and stupid sisi supported to exterminate all palestinians and residents of Sinai and Golan height territories for the expansion of fascist evil Zionist State of Israel. wicked scums of evils!!

      Well hey SCUMBAG Ib, I’m all for expelling the entire corrupt lot that infest that building on the East side of Manhattan known as the UN. Let’s lobby together to remove the pig and rat invested groups that dominate the UN halls. The ones that do nothing but condemn Israel and rob the US by their parasitic existence on our soil. You know, the dreck who come from Islamic majority nations that speak that guttural low IQ language known as arabic. Arabic, the only language in the world which has a vocabulary that has remained stagnant for the last 200 years.

      So how about it, inferior……….shall we give it a patriotic eviction try?

    Very good, brigand evil United States and master the most wicked nation on earth the fascist evil Zionist State of Israel have been disgraced again at the UN. The most painful part of it is that the idiot bastard murderer Ibn salman supported the stupid draft Resolution by evil United States as part of that sinister agenda of exterminating all palestinians and residents of Sinai and Golan height territories for the expansion of fascist evil Zionist State of Israel. Hamas is a genuine resistance group against illegal occupation of Palestinian territory by fascist evil Zionist State,how can you imagine that after they were being killed they are to be condemned for allowing themselves to be killed? This is a clear rascality on the part of evil United States and master fascist evil Zionist State of Israel. wicked scums of evils!!

    The Arabs have plenty of cash. They can finance their own canapes.

    Let’s save US dollars and UK pounds for our own welfare and security services who are costing the civilized world so much more with an aging population and thousands of jihadis to keep track of.

      Agreed. Sensible ideas. Let us also keep our new technology well away from the Arabs.

    We are often told that only a tiny minority of extremists support the terrorists. But take a look at the countries that voted against condemning Hamas’ attacks on civilians. Among countries that voted, almost all Muslim majority countries (and some corrupt or hardline leftist dictatorships) opposed condemning Hamas. This includes supposedly “moderate” countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Tunisia, and Turkey. Only two Muslim majority countries, namely Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina, voted to condemn Hamas.

    The UN should be replaced with the union of democratic states. It is an absurdity that dictatorships get an equal vote and ally together.

    Would the 57 States which rejected it just happen to be the 57 member states of the OIC?

    UN should have been kicked out of the USA a long time ago. I believe it will be, eventually. I hope.

  14. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Dec 9, 2018 at 9:34 am

    The UN’s existence is predicated on that stupid old trope of “Keep your enemies closer” in other words, if they think we’ll talk to them, they might delay attacking us. Obviously, that’s not true, so the Useless Notions should be folded ASAP.

  15. terry says

    Dec 9, 2018 at 7:35 pm

    You’ll never get the vote with 57 islamic countries voting as a bloc.

    But you’d get probably get their vote on death to Israel and death to jews.
