Wisdom From Alan Dershowitz

I truly love Alan Dershowitz. He is a man who tells the truth regardless of what his supposed political allies think. He has done it again.

On Thursday, Just the News reported:

Harvard Law School’s Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Monday that he wants the United Nations removed from the United States. 

“I would like to see the United Nations thrown out of the United States, and the United States get out of the United Nations,” Dershowitz said on the “John Solomon Reports” podcast.

Although the U.N. has been under scrutiny for years, the body has come under heightened criticism from members of Congress and faced allegations of antisemitism for how they have treated Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza against Hamas. 

One of the reasons for the antisemitism in the United Nations (UN) is that there is within the UN a powerful voting bloc called the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The organization was created in 1969. It’s charter states its goal as “revitalizing Islam’s pioneering role in the world.” The OIC Charter claims jurisdiction not only over Muslims inside its Member States (57), but also over all Muslims living in non-Muslim countries–including the United States (Chapter 1, Article 1, Objective 16).

The article at Just the News notes:

As far back as the mid 1940s, the U.N. and U.S. membership in it has been challenged. Sen. William Langer, R-N.D., was one of two senators to vote against the U.N. Charter. More recently, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., introduced H.R. 1205, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2015, that would have required withdrawal from the organization. 

This year, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced the DEFUND Act of 2025, which mandated termination of U.S. involvement with the U.N. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., in January 2025 also criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for “not meeting the mission of the UN’s founding principles.”

“There were individuals in UNRWA who participated, who executed and committed terrorist acts against Israel on Oct. 7. [Yahyah] Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, carried an UNRWA passport. You had a Hamas data center under UNRWA headquarters, so the rot is deep,” she said.

After some major improvements, the UN building could be turned into luxury condominiums overlooking the river. The tax revenue would help New York City financially, and removing the diplomats with their diplomatic immunity would solve the traffic congestion problem in lower Manhattan. It’s a win-win!

They Didn’t Do Their Job; Their Mandate Will Not Be Renewed

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, was established by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 425 and 426. Their mission was to confirm Hezbollah demilitarization, support Lebanese army operations against insurgents and weapon smuggling, and confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, in order to ensure that the government of Lebanon would restore its effective authority in the area. Obviously, the demilitarization of Lebanon never happened. UNIFIL was an expert at ignoring Hezbollah hiding rocket launchers in houses and firing rockets at Israel.

On Sunday, Breitbart reported:

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will leave southern Lebanon later this year after the United States votes against renewing its mandate in an upcoming United Nations Security Council vote.

The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday:

The United States and Israel agreed that  United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) must cease its operations in southern Lebanon, The Jerusalem Post confirmed Sunday, following reports.

The American administration has decided not to renew UNIFIL’s mandate, and Israel reportedly “did not try to convince them otherwise.”

The vote on the mandate in the United Nations Security Council is expected to occur within a few months.

UNIFIL, which has operated in the area for nearly half a century, was notorious for ignoring willful violations of ceasefires with Israel by Hezbollah terrorists, who turned southern Lebanon into a launchpad for attacks.

During the recent war between Israel and Lebanon, Israel published evidence that Hezbollah operated near UNIFIL posts, knowing that Israel would be condemned if it fired back and caused damage to UN facilities.Given the proximity and brazenness with which Hezbollah operated near UNIFIL posts, it was impossible to believe that the United Nations forces did not know about, and tacitly agree to, Hezbollah’s activities there.

It has been obvious for years that the United Nations is not a friend of Israel. One of the major voting blocs in the United Nations is the The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Wikipedia (a source I don’t generally recommend) describes this organization as an intergovernmental organization founded in 1969, consisting of 57 member states, primarily Muslim-majority countries. It aims to represent the collective voice of the Muslim world and safeguard the interests of Muslims while promoting international peace and harmony.

They do not promote international peace and harmony–their goal is to institute worldwide Sharia Law. They would like to destroy Israel along the way. That is one of many reasons that UNIFIL was not inclined to fulfill its stated mission.
