Can’t trust the UN, Get Us Out!
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
S won’t send funds to Hamas. US will INCREASE its humanitarian giving to the Palestinian government.
NO NO NO.
No one can ever trust the Palestinian government. Even though the press states money will be channeled through “UN and non-governmental organizations,” NO TRUST. Who can trust the UN and non-governmental organizations, whoever they are?
Bottom line: LET THE MUSLIM NATIONS FORK OVER HUMANITARIAN AID TO MUSLIMS.
Palestinians are not blood free. They have murdered Jews and others aplenty. These Palestinian mothers brag on giving their children to suicide for Allah. These children have been birthed from the womb to put bullets in non-Muslims. Why take pity on these people?
Let the Muslims send food and whatever to the Muslim Palestinians.
The US is stupid on this score. There is no other word that can be used than stupid. Can’t anyone figure out that a dollar sent to the Palestinians is going to end up on the other side of the fence with the Hamas?
Get this: The US is increasing its humanitarian aid from $245 million to $411 million—57 percent increase.
This is imbecilic.

WASHINGTON, April 3 — Concerned Women for America (CWA) supports a resolution introduced by Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tennessee) which opposes U.S. participation in the U.N.’s Human Rights Council. This new Council, recently created to replace the discredited U.N. Commission on Human Rights, does not remedy the systemic flaws of the old Commission, and is arguably worse.
"The U.N.’s Human Rights Council sets up the illusion of credibility simply because it is new, yet it – of the old Commission," said Wendy Wright, CWA’s President. "The Council institutes new flaws while several key problems remain, such as allowing egregious human rights abusers to be members. The Council is not limited to addressing violations of universally recognized human rights and thus allows members to redirect the Council’s focus away from true abuses to spurious accusations against perceived enemies and the old tactic of condemning Israel. The greatest defender of human rights, the United States (which is also the largest donor), would have to rotate off every third year.
"The current formation of the Human Rights Council sets it up to fail to an even more spectacular degree than the old Commission on Human Rights.
"We applaud Sen. Frist for demanding the U.S. act with integrity and for proposing the option of creating a separate human rights body from the Council. The U.S. voted against the Council for valid reasons, and American tax dollars should not be wasted on a fraud. We should not accept anything less than a human rights body that will rectify every flaw of the former U.N. Commission on Human Rights. The United States must set the example to the United Nations of a country that esteems the value of human rights."
Concerned Women for America (CWA) is the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization.

For its final humaniaarium aid report card, the U.N. gets a F for its responce and a D- for trying.
One year ago the devastating deadly tsunami hit Indonesia. Many relief groups immediately mustered and organized massive relief aid for the stricken area. Eventually, weeks later, the U.N. wanting to show its value to mankind, instituted one of its largest relief efforts. It wanted to show the world that besides the financial corruption being exposed in the world body, they are still there to help mankind. But what the world witness was how well they can huff and puff up their quasi-organizing efforts, which many countries did not want anything to do with.
The weeks following the disaster, many high-ranking UN officials made publicity tours of the area with many press releases promoting their massive funds drive. Showing their true bureaucratic tendencies with special meetings being held, they requested that all countries wait for them so they could coordinate all the relief efforts. Instead they floundered while victims dies because of the U.N.’s red tape.
From the Diplomad blog:
A colleague came back from a meeting held by the local UN representative yesterday and reported that the UN rep had said that while it was a good thing that the Australians and Americans were running the air ops into tsunami-wrecked Aceh, for cultural and political reasons, those Australians and Americans really "should go blue." In other words, they should switch into UN uniforms and give up their national ones.
Wrong!
Again, from the Diplomad blog they expose the U.N.’s public relation showmanship:
Our folks in Aceh report that UN "coordination" means that the UN holds a meeting every day at 5 pm near the runway in Aceh. Every donor nation and NGO stands up and states what it’s doing; the UN rep writes it down. Some times, however, it’s hard to hear. The distinctive "whoop! whoop! whoop!" of those nasty American choppers and the roar of Australian and American C-130 engines on the tarmac can prove very bothersome to the UN rep as he tries to hear what everyone else is doing. Poor man! If only those stingy Aussies and Yanks would have the decency to shut down relief operations while the UN rep is trying to hold a meeting, after all, he’s here to help, help himself, that is, to taking credit for what the others are doing.
The Diplomad blog posted this State Department press guidance on the USA’s tsunami relief effort, with data accurate as of January 9. It details American contributions over and above the $350 million officially pledged, thus far, by the US Government:
– Americans have responded generously. The Chronicle of Philanthropy estimates $324 million have been donated by American citizens and corporations.
– More than 14,400 U.S. military personnel and $20 billion in military assets are involved in Operation Unified Assistance at a cost of $5 to $6 million a day.
– Almost 6 million pounds of relief supplies and equipment, including water, food and medical supplies (non-medicine), have been delivered to the region.
– 25 ships, 37 cargo aircraft, 8 patrol aircraft and 51 helicopters are involved in the relief effort. U.S. aircraft have flown more than 835 sorties.
– Approximately 150 USAID personnel are on the ground. USAID’s Disaster Assistance Response Teams and the U.S. military continue to conduct needs assessments and provide supplies and essential logistic support.
And the U.N. keeps holding press conferences and doing nothing. As the Israeli Insider reports:
The world has a right to expect more than mere ’spin’ from the UN. It is not just that donor money disappears into the vast bank accounts of the agencies and to points undisclosed, with inadequate transparency. It is also the passive (and sometimes active) aiding and abetting of terrorists that prolongs conflicts and large-scale human tragedy. Waste and corruption often ensure that the very populations that major UN agencies are mandated to assist end up worse off than before.
As of today, there is not much evidence by a positive report that the U.N.’s relief efforts were effective or existed.
