My colleague @jdgreenblatt45 is spot on in his criticism of the U.N. and the pathetic failure of the General Assembly to condemn terrorists who attack Israel and its citizens. His piece below is worth a read: https://t.co/R22ZGibVi1

Greenblatt explained that the US offered a resolution that would include condemning Hamas in the UN General Assembly, but that opponents of the resolution “altered the rules to require a two-thirds majority – rather than a simple majority – for the resolution to pass.”He described the UN conversations as having an “anti-Israel bias,” but thanked Trump and outgoing US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, adding that “we are closer than ever before to taking a stand against Hamas.”Greenblatt explained that Hamas is also harming the Palestinians who live in Gaza, since their refusal to relinquish arms is preventing financial aid from entering Gaza.The PA opposed the resolution, despite their having claimed to suffer from Hamas’s reign in Gaza.
“In actuality, the PA hurt the Palestinian people, hurt the reputation of the Palestinian Authority in the international arena and, once again, hurt the prospects for peace. This will never achieve peace. Palestinians need it, Israelis need it and the world needs it,” Greenblatt wrote.
