NYP:
Want to rein in the bureaucratic bees at the United Nations? Forget honey; grab the vinegar.
America is boycotting a weeklong session at the UN Human Rights Council that started Monday, and is pressuring others to oppose five related resolutions expected to be raised on Friday, at the end of that session.
As US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley pointed out Monday, only one country is subjected to regular scrutiny and condemnation in each of the three annual sessions of the 47-member Geneva-based human rights body.
Guess which one.
“It’s not Syria, where the regime has systematically slaughtered and tortured its own people,” Haley said.
“It’s not Iran, where public hangings are a regular occurrence. It’s not North Korea, where the regime uses forced labor camps to crush its people into submission.
“It’s Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.”

Seems unfair that we lost Nikki, but have to keep Lindsay.
So many swamps. Such little time.
“It’s Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.”
If that’s the best propaganda Ms. Haley can buy, it is better to skip the big stage. (Which is more self-aware than Team Clinton, so still winning!)
Nikki Haley is very impressive. One of Trumps best assets is picking the right person for the job. He nailed this position.
Nikki has taken the UN by the balls and ins’t letting go!
“Guess which one.”
It’s not the USA? I’m shocked.
How soon y’all forget that Nikki was the gutless bint that let the lefties demonize the CONFEDERATE FLAG and start the removal of all those historical landmarks that have any reference to the South and wanting to re-write history..
Doc,
Not forgetting that. But she is doing a good job in this position.
And why is the UN compound still on American soil?
Relocate their asses to africa, the continent they
helped destroy.
The UN bureaucrats will keep up their crap until the accountants tell them no more expense account lunches, dinners or cocktails because Donald Trump cut up their credit cards.
Remember this? $18MM in unpaid U.N. diplomat parking tickets in NYC. That was reported in ’06 and again in ’07. Wonder what it is now. Editorial says that the biggest offenders are the countries who don’t like the U.S. Throw ’em all out!

We have enough rats and cockroaches in NYC. Throw the UN the hell out.

So, not giving Bill De Blasio millions more, because he says “GIMMEE!!” is a bad thing?
@Anonymous — Has nothing to do with who’s mayor or if they say “GIMMEE!!” Has everything to do with willful disregard for a city’s laws. And guess who, then, gets to pay the parking enforcement officers?
