January 20, 2026 - Israel has demolished buildings inside the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in occupied Jerusalem, and raised the Israeli flag over the premises. This is the latest Israeli attack on the UN and on the rights of Palestinian refugees. It's time to kick Israel out of the UN! [link]

“There's already American contractors here, bidding to rebuild this joint. You're gonna tell me. You know, that's all the defense department is. We're bodyguards for American contractors. [...] The U.N.? They don't... We own the U.N. The U.S government owns the U.N. We foot the bill for the U.N. The U.N. does what we want it to. Except for who? Libya and Cuba. So what. We wanted to go in there in a week, we'd take those over if we wanted to anyways. But we foot the bill for the U.N, they'll vote how we want them to vote. That's just our, that's, that's the U.S puppet. You guys should know that you're, you've been in college, I haven't!”

Bloomberg offers climate cash to UN after Trump exits Paris Agreement

The core of the UNFCCC's budget comes from its almost 200 member countries.

Former New York city mayor Michael Bloomberg is joining with other US climate organizations to fund the United States entire 21% contribution to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This will allow the organization to remain fully functional in the wake of Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. This contribution will continue at least until the United States is able to rejoin the Paris Agreement.

I dislike the existence of billionaires as much as the next person, but it is refreshing to see one of them actually using their money to do a net good for the planet.

Every member state of the UN has a vote, regardless of its record on governance or human rights.

More than two-thirds of UN members are not liberal democracies. Many are authoritarian states, single-party systems, or governments with deep corruption. Those governments vote to protect their own power and to shield allies from scrutiny.

Portraying the UN as a source of moral authority requires profound ignorance about what the UN is and how it works.

Not a good sign that *every* foreign doctor that goes to Gaza then comes back after a few weeks and testifies: “This is Hell on Earth. This is a genocide. The snipers deliberately target kids.”

I guess Australian, American, British, Asian, and Scandinavian doctors are all Hamas, now.

Doctors Without Borders = Hamas.

This is why they don’t let foreign journalists into Gaza.
