3. Given the opportunity, The United Nations will always do the wrong thing.

Especially when Jews are part of the story. The U.N. could wave immunity, but it won't because they enable and support the terror that occurred on October 7th.

A Rabbi I knew once called the U.N. "The nations united against the Jews." It wasn't hyperbole.

You are right, the U.N. is shameless and despicable. UNRWA is a front that enables terror and perpetrates the plight of the Palestinians in perpetuity. UNRWA has manipulated the Palestinian people into a cycle of eternal refugee status and victimhood. Both the U.N. and UNRWA are disgraceful organizations on a multitude of levels.

I do not blame the DOJ on this. Immunity laws are unbreakable. They often lead to outrageous miscarriages of justice. Diplomatic immunity is an example, protecting diplomates and their families from prosecution even in the event of violent crimes.

Shameless and despicable. MyMission Sep 22 #1
