Do You Think Trump Could Ease US Out of the UN and Convert the Buildings into Tacky Retro-1950's Co-ops?

The perverse and depraved UN has got to go. It is the biggest collection of malingering thieves and grafters outside of Washington D.C. m/r

At Geneva-based UN Watch, the invaluable Hillel Neuer reminds us that the head of the Advisory Commission for the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) is none other than Syria. That bit of UN depravity, together with a recent visit to Washington, D.C. by UNRWA's commissioner-general, Pierre Krahenbuhl,  suggest it is high time to revisit the curious matter of why UNRWA these days maintains an office in Washington.

You remember UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, a.k.a. the UN outfit with schools in Gaza that have doubled as rocket depots for terrorists attacking Israel. Opened in 1950 as a temporary jobs and aid program for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA has become an ever-expanding fixture of the UN and the Middle East, a de facto patron
of Hamas in Gaza, and welfare-dispenser for what is today a population of some 5 million "registered Palestinian refugees" -- a project that down the generations has helped foster both a Palestinian culture of grievance and dependency, and money and jobs for UNRWA itself. At the UN, all other refugees come under the aegis of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which seeks to resettle them. Only the Palestinians have a dedicated agency that has turned refugee status into a bizarre form of hereditary entitlement.

It's bad enough that UNRWA is still operating in the Middle East. But what's it doing with an office in, of all places, Washington? UNRWA already fields an office right up the thruway, at the UN's massive headquarters in New York. Why the need for yet another, in Washington?
