One hundred seventy-three condemnations for Israel, 80 for the rest of the world: Time to end the United Nations

Published



The U.N. General Assembly has opened its 81st session with the usual invocations of peace, cooperation, and shared human values. Unfortunately, the United Nations no longer embodies those ideals. As a believer in multilateralism, strong alliances, and a shared humanity that transcends nationality, it pains me to say it, but the U.N. should be dissolved.
