For the past twenty years, For more than twenty years, my colleagues and I have argued for what the world actually needs, not a malevolent,failed United Nations, but a union of headed by the US wth shared values and moral clarity.

From its inception, the United Nations was structurally destined to fail. It has failed the tortured, the oppressed, and the poor on a scale that is impossible to quantify. Graft and corruption are not anomalies at the UN; they are endemic to the institution itself. As Norm Coleman once put it, the UN functions as a “jobs program for many countries,” where nations that contribute little or nothing wield outsized influence over global affairs.

The bureaucracy alone is damning: thousands of mandates and precious little to show for them.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Thursday (Jan 15) announced the formation of a Gaza “board of peace,” a key phase two element of a US-backed plan to end the war in the Palestinian territory.

“It is my Great Honor to announce that THE BOARD OF PEACE has been formed,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, adding that the members of the body will be announced “shortly”.

“I can say with certainty that it is the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place,” Trump said.

The Trump administration indicated that it has picked a country to send one of the most well-known foreign student agitators accused of sympathizing with Hamas.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to deport Mahmoud Kahlil to Algeria, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said during a Wednesday interview with NewsNation. Khalil, who established himself as the face of the pro-Palestinian student protests that rocked Columbia University in 2024, is closer to being re-detained by federal immigration authorities following an appeals court ruling earlier in January.

“It looks like he’ll go to Algeria,” McLaughlin said during the interview, confirming that the administration is preparing to take Khalil back into custody. “That’s what the thought is right now.”

Police have yet to identify the pro-Palestinian vandals who caused $7K worth of damage to the home of University of Washington’s former president, according to police reports obtained by The College Fix through a public records request.

The Fix recently obtained the police report and notes for Seattle’s investigation into the November 14, 2024 attack on Ana Mari Cauce’s home and car. This attack followed a similar pro-Palestinian vandalism at the university’s mansion, which is available for use by the school’s president on October 28, 2024.  Cauce retired last summer.

The vandals spray painted the front of her house and her car, then slashed three of her tires. They left messages including “FREE PALESTINE” and “ANA MARI COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE,” among other pro-Palestinian messages,” The Fix previously reported.

“The movement will continue to apply pressure to Ana Mari until UW cuts ties with war profiteers such as Boeing, and divests from the Zionist entity,” one message also stated, referring to Israel. President Cauce supported a ceasefire in Gaza but opposed Israeli divestment, according to Fox 13.

A United Nations initiate designed to give administrative flesh to President Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan is feared to become its replacement. What started as a board of invested actors to help manage the transition in Gaza from Hamas to something else is now taking on a global scope as mission creep has taken hold at an ecumenical scale. Trump said of the board that it would “get a lot of work done that the UN should have done.”

Maya Ungar, a UN analyst, is sounding the alarm, claiming, “If member states, if countries do decide to sign up – and not just to sign up, but to really institutionalise and move along with this Board of Peace process – it is going to become a parallel or competing structure to the UN Security Council, which is an institution that has already been facing immense legitimacy as well as financial concerns over the past few years.”

The Board of Peace was initially given a limited mandate by the UN Security Council last November, endorsed strictly as a mechanism to support the peace process in Gaza.

But recent developments suggest the project is rapidly expanding beyond that scope. Its draft charter reportedly makes no mention of Gaza at all.

Instead, the body is described as an organisation designed to “secure peace” in regions threatened by conflict – a remit strikingly similar to that of the UN Security Council.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.

A statement from his office said Netanyahu would become a member of the board “which is to be comprised of world leaders”.

The board was originally thought to be aimed at helping end the two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and oversee reconstruction. But its proposed charter does not mention the Palestinian territory and appears to be designed to supplant functions of the UN.

Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have also agreed to join, as have Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Turkey and Vietnam.

Rights groups say the demolition order, which will affect 100 Palestinian homes, is an attempt to ‘cage in’ Palestinians.

The Israeli military will demolish 25 residential buildings in the occupied West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp this week, according to local authorities.

Abdallah Kamil, the governor of the Tulkarem governorate where Nur Shams is located, told the AFP news agency on Monday that he was informed of the planned demolition by the Israeli Defence Ministry body COGAT.

Children and families in Gaza scooped muddy water from their tents Tuesday, trying to protect the few belongings that remain after two years of war.

Winter’s heavy rains have left displaced Palestinians splashing in water that reaches their ankles, and blaming both Israel and Hamas for the misery that remains despite a cease-fire.

“All tents were destroyed,” said Assmaa Fayad in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, whose shelter was damaged in Tuesday’s latest downpour.

“Where is Hamas? Where are the people to see this rain and how our children are drowning?”

A Hamas spokesperson, Hazem Qassem, lashed out in a message on Telegram: “All the world’s efforts to alleviate the disaster have failed because of the Israeli siege.”

“Sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law.”

Socialist New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is facing backlash after his team criticized an event at a synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side after it was targeted by anti-Israel activists who shouted slogans including “Death to the IDF” and “Globalize the intifada.”

According to the Jerusalem Post, the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation protesters outside Park East Synagogue, which was hosting an event by Nefesh B’Nefesh, an organization that assists North American Jews moving to Israel, drew swift condemnation from Jewish leaders and elected officials, who described the group’s rhetoric as antisemitic and threatening.

The Germans targeted German Jews and academics. But the ummah (the worldwide Muslim community) is targeting Jews everywhere including the United States, taking a new holocaust to a global level.

Pure evil.

The kill threats, $100,000 bounties against Jewish academics labels Israeli researchers as criminals and military collaborators, publishes their personal details and offers cash rewards for attacks; officials say they have never seen such direct incitement or a campaign this detailed targeting academics.

Israeli universities and security officials are confronting what they describe as an unprecedented threat after an anonymous website published explicit calls to kill dozens of senior Israeli academics and offered cash rewards for attacks.

Using those specific words doesn’t really leave much to the imagination does it?

Cornell grad student union adds resistance ‘by any means’ to anti-Israel resolution

Cornell University’s graduate student union has added support for Palestinian armed resistance “by any means necessary” to a resolution calling for a boycott of Israel that the union will discuss on Thursday.

The union, Cornell Graduate Students United — UE Local 300, in October issued a draft of the resolution to members, titled “International solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.”

The resolution said Cornell was rooted in “US settler-colonialism and an imperial project of white supremacy bent on profiting from the erasure of the Palestinian people.”

The United Nations adopted the United States’s proposal on Monday to begin implementing the next phase of President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

Trump’s 20-point plan to achieve lasting stability in the region, which had been beset by hostilities between Hamas and Israel, gained international legitimacy after the 15-member council voted 13-0 in favor of a resolution endorsing the plan’s proposal for a temporary new government in Gaza.

Russia and China abstained from the vote, which supported the establishment of the “Board of Peace,” chaired by Trump as a transitional government, and the creation of a temporary “International Stabilization Force” in Gaza.

“He wants to be part of the Abraham Accords,” Trump said.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) signaled renewed willingness to join the Abraham Accords during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. He emphasized that any normalization with Israel must include a “path to a two-state solution” between Gaza and Israel.

The meeting, MBS’s first White House visit in more than seven years, was marked by an elaborate welcoming ceremony on the South Lawn to spotlight the administration’s partnership with the kingdom and showcase the rapport between the two leaders. They discussed security cooperation, defense sales, nuclear agreements, and hundreds of billions of dollars in Saudi investment in the US economy.

If you’ve ever wondered how the hordes of antisemites who marauded across college campuses in the months after October 7 were able to afford being full-time haters and agitators, we have the answer for you: a radical Muslim group was cutting some of them $1,000 checks. Which radical Muslim group was doing this, you ask? The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), of course.

A leaked document from a November 2 meeting of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America reveals a series of extreme anti-Israel demands the group is preparing to press Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to adopt. Having helped propel him to victory, the DSA now appears eager to collect on its investment.

Although Mamdani is a long-time member of the DSA who clearly aligns with its anti-Israeli agenda, members are clearly worried he might yield to political pressure once he takes office.

Just the News’ Jerry Dunleavy obtained an internal Anti-War Working Group document that details what the DSA plans to demand of Mamdani.

Milo Sedarat, 19, went online and threatened to murder Jews in a mass shooting attack. He said “Line up like 500 Jews and execute them in front of their wives and family. Then take all their wives [as] slaves. Imma have like 10 yahood slave girls inshallah.”

Sedarat calls himself “the biggest antisemite in America.” He is the son of an Iranian poet. He comes from a family worth millions. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey arrested Sedarat. They also accuse him of plotting to run down a pro-Israel demonstration in Montclair.

A Muslim teen in New Jersey wanted to carry out a Boston-bombing style attack. He also happily volunteered to be in charge of beheadings if the group of alleged co-conspirators ever needed to make any propaganda videos, coldly saying, “I’ll do it, bro.”

“Line up like 500 Jews and execute them in front of their wives and family. Then take all their wives [as] slaves. Imma have like 10 yahood slave girls inshallah,” he said, using the Arabic term for “God willing.”

He said that if he ever saw a Jewish Rabbi while walking the streets of New York City “[you know] what’s gonna happen … I would be fine with getting shot or going to prison … If I get to take him out,” he said.

Five men and a juvenile have been arrested in connection to the alleged ISIS-tied terror plot, two in New Jersey, three in Michigan — where the suspects allegedly bought guns and ammo for a massacre at LGBT nightclubs — and one in Washington state.

The student government at the University of Maryland passed a resolution Wednesday that seeks to ban Israel Defense Forces members from speaking on campus.

“The resolution came after a pro-Israel student group hosted IDF soldiers, which protesters disrupted by calling them ‘baby killers’ and comparing the IDF to the KKK,” the Jewish Journal reported.

According to the Diamondback student newspaper, the resolution — which passed unanimously — urges administrators “to condemn the hosting of the soldiers and change university policy so that student organizations and academic departments will not be able to host speakers who have been found, or are being actively investigated for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity or systematic human rights violations.”

The resolution is non-binding, meaning it only represents the opinions of the student government and is not enforcable.

The crux of the controversy centers on an event held Oct. 21 by Students Supporting Israel featuring three guest speakers, Israel Defense Forces soldiers, who shared “their experiences fighting for Israel before and after October 7, and their advice for us college students on standing up against antisemitism and anti-Zionism every day,” according to the group.

The event prompted a protest, during which four students, including two student journalists, were detained by police for an hour, the Diamondback reported; according to campus police: “Four people were in the hallway causing a disruption. This disruption included screaming, holding signs and recording their actions.”

The world has been shocked and horrified by stories of how Hamas tortured and murdered Israeli hostages. But Hamas also viciously maltreats and even kills its own people who dare to stand up to it, including Moumen al-Natour, a Palestinian anti-Hamas activist.

The UK Daily Mail says that al-Natour has endured endless harassment and persecution from Hamas, from “being lashed with a whip, stripped of his clothes, or made to squat for 24 gruelling hours in a tiny underground cell, the 30-year-old lawyer has paid the price time and time again for his resistance to the authoritarian government.”

Describing one round of abuse at Hamas’s hands, al-Natour told the UK outlet, “They insulted me with obscene language and threatened to bring my father, mother, brothers and sisters to the prison to torture them. Once, someone even told me they could rape my mother and sisters in front of me.”

Hamas took Omer Neutra, an Israeli-American hero, captive on Oct. 7, 2023, and murdered him while in captivity. Israel finally recovered his body along with the bodies of two other brave Israelis after more than two years in Hamas’ hands.

Sharren Haskel, the Israeli Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, posted the news about the three dead hostages’ heartbreaking homecoming in a tribute where she praised their courage and individual talents.

Neutra’s family said in a statement that the Jewish Telegraphic Agency obtained, “With heavy hearts and a deep sense of relief — we share the news that, Captain Omer Neutra …has finally been returned for burial in the land of Israel.” Neutra’s parents spoke at the Republican National Convention last year to rally support for releasing the Israeli hostages before they knew that their precious son had been murdered in captivity.
