Donald Trump has applied a sledgehammer to the post-World War II globalist program.
Israel is considered to be risk-taking when it comes to military and covert activities. During last year’s war with Iran, it came out that the Jewish state had a drone manufacturing facility inside Iran. It additionally had the largest number of Mossad agents ever deployed abroad and used the services of local groups, even entrusting them with heavy weapons for the first time ever. While the pager/walkie-talkie attacks in Lebanon wrote a new page in covert tricks, Israel is often gun-shy when dealing with certain issues. Israel should have already killed the thousands of terrorists associated with the 2023 pogrom in the south of the country. She should have told off Europeans who accused her of a nonexistent genocide while still demanding intelligence from Israeli sources. So, it was a pleasant surprise when Israel actually passed a law and began dismantling the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the country.
UNRWA, like the UN itself, is a discredited and dysfunctional organization. Most know that a refugee is someone who is forced against his or her will to leave a home country. Only the Palestinians, through UNRWA, get the added bonus of their children, grandchildren, and beyond being considered “refugees.” So, throughout history and throughout the world, the number of refugees has always gone down over time due to people passing away—except with the Palestinians, whose numbers have ballooned from the original 720,000 who left in 1948 (half of their own accord, half pushed out by victorious Jewish armies) to 2 million or more. UNRWA does not exist to make the Palestinians’ lives better; rather, its purpose is to feed them, teach them to always hate Jews, and leave them in a state of misery just bad enough that they will demand endless revenge against the Yahud. The purpose of this body is to fan the hatred enough to make the destruction of Israel a more important goal than building a prosperous state.
So, with Israel’s historical fear of upsetting international players, it came as a great surprise that not only did the Knesset pass a law outlawing UNRWA in Israel, but it actually started to get to work on the project. On Tuesday, Israeli tractors destroyed their main office in Jerusalem. On Wednesday, state workers began disconnecting all UNRWA facilities in the country from water and electricity. For those murdered in the pogrom and the soldiers killed in Gaza, these actions come too late. For Israelis and the world at large, these steps are long overdue.
The purpose of the League of Nations and later the UN was to bring the world together and allow for discussion rather than war. The reality of the latter body is that it has been a disaster, its soldiers have famously misbehaved wherever they have been deployed, and it has been the site of fraud and hysterical anti-Israel antics. The idea of bringing the world together sounds good. If we can talk, maybe we can avoid shooting at each other. But in the Old World Order, countries knew their strengths and who their friends were—and they acted accordingly. Just as Biblical pharaoh showed that he could do the same plagues that God brought via Moses, countries knew their military standing versus their neighbors and potential friends and foes far away. This was important. Countries were somewhat careful not to blunder into wars that they could not win. Even Hitler was shocked when England declared war on Germany in fulfillment of its treaty obligations to Poland. The Russians dismissed the Japanese as monkeys and were thoroughly dismantled by the latter in the Russo-Japanese War, which was a major contributor to the Russian Revolution a decade later. When you don’t have the UN and other international bodies equalizing big and small, countries act their age, weight, and strength. When you do have these international groups, smaller countries can gamble and hope that the world body will save their derriere should they get into trouble.
This was also the situation with the EU. Weak economies like those of Greece and Italy took advantage of being glued to powerhouses like Germany to get cheap loans. When things went south, they paid big time for playing out of their league. They did not have Germany’s economy of the 1990s or its work and savings habits. And they have learned that being in the EU has upsides but comes with enormous risks. Greece recently announced with Israel that it hopes to move from being a purchaser of military systems to becoming a producer. That’s the way to think.
And now comes Donald Trump and his “Board of Peace.” Many claim that he wants to sideline the UN and create a body of world leaders that will actually take care of the world’s business. His inclusion of Putin and Erdogan would seem to indicate that the president is thinking far past Gaza. There is a place for international cooperation. Churchill famously said that the only thing worse than fighting with allies is fighting without them. Trump wants leaders who act and are decisive. He is sick and tired of the UN, with its elevator-stopping shtick they pulled on him and Melania last year, and feels that he can get a lot more done without it. The UN and the WEF globalists, of course, do not like his approach. They believe that every effort—the war in Gaza, Covid, immigration—needs to be an international effort. Donald Trump, a man of action throughout his life, wants results and not committees. He wants to push the UN, WHO, and all of the other feckless, commie, third-world-controlled international bodies to the wayside and actually get stuff done. And that has always been the American way. Just as international bodies give undue power to weak and terrible countries, they emasculate the power of great countries. Everything is by vote. Everything is by committee. Everything requires discussion. The UN, in its various committees and deliberations, has denounced Israel more times than all other countries combined. We had one Nazi Germany; we no longer need a second.
So, Israel feels confident enough to not only give the UN the finger but also to take back its prime real estate in Jerusalem. In the neighborhood where UNRWA was headquartered, apartments routinely go for over $1 million apiece. The UN was a partner in Hamas’ attack, and without its support, infrastructure, money, and manpower, the 1,200 people killed during the surprise attack would still be alive. A dear friend who served in Gaza for the duration of the war made it clear: without UNRWA taking care of the day-to-day needs like education, food, and medicine, Hamas could not have planned and executed the attack against the communities in southern Israel. It is time to kick the UN out of New York. Leave them in Brussels and Zurich, as they are cities that also value bureaucracy over real progress. Third-world states like the UN, as it allows them to attack the Jews, receive huge amounts of other people’s money, and grant them an unearned legitimacy on the world stage. It’s like my coming in 72nd in a marathon and being put on the top pedestal with the record-holding winner. That is the UN, and that’s why #1 USA needs to dump it and take care of business with friends and foes, but not via committees.
Scott Bessent told the WEF crowd this week that the globalist adventure failed and is over. Donald Trump will no doubt tell the crowd something similar, if only in more colorful terms. When the League of Nations was formed, we did not have instant communication. Now we do, and we don’t need the UN or the like.
