Palestinian reps are so used to being feted at the UN that when a top UN official does try to be even-handed – by criticizing fireworks set off inside Islam’s third-holiest mosque – they get tetchy ... https://t.co/QsEc6sKp5H

‘Is China running the UN?’ reporter asks after UN spox confirms a policy that evidently bars citizens of #Taiwan from visiting UN HQ -- because Taiwan is not a member-state #TaiwanIsaCountry https://t.co/P7IXCN1fY1

As the UN marks its first ‘Int’l Day to Combat #Islamophobia’ don't expect the plight of #Uyghurs to feature prominently @Uyghur_American @UyghurCongress @CUyghurs https://t.co/KPCOOZnyAt

At @UN_HRC, the Iranian regime tried to shut down @HillelNeuer of @UNWatch when he drew attention to Iran’s support for Palestinian terrorists whose errant rockets killed Palestinian children. Maduro rep decried 'offensive words against sovereign states' https://t.co/JAYtO2be0h

Russia blames ‘the collective West’ for the war in Ukraine, and has looked to the so-called ‘global south’ for support. On Thursday TWO-THIRDS of the ‘global south’ said nyet. @DmytroKuleba: ‘it’s not only the West who supports Ukraine’ @SergiyKyslytsya https://t.co/XkNXEbR4Zs

In 1997 Sen. Biden ridiculed the idea that Russia may respond to NATO’s move eastward by drawing closer to China. When Russian lawmakers raised the possibility he wished them "lots of luck in your senior year" adding "And if that doesn’t work, try Iran." https://t.co/EUl8uC57L9

As Israeli ambassador @giladerdan1 marks a moment of silence at the #UNSC for the victims of recent Palestinian terror attacks – including two small boys – Israel stands alone. Literally. @IsraelinUN https://t.co/bJ6Bufyqc2

03/2022 US determines Russia has committed war crimes in Ukraine ✅ 02/2023 US determines Russia has committed crimes against humanity in Ukraine ✅ Is 'genocide' determination next, @margbrennan asks @SecBlinken ? https://t.co/zUHkf1snFO

“Our close cooperation on security issues has helped keep Jordanians and Americans safer,” says State Dept as @KingAbdullahII visits DC. That “close cooperation” hasn't extended to US extradition requests for terrorist with American blood on her hands ... https://t.co/l0mb6dHoe5

“Our close cooperation on security issues has helped keep Jordanians and Americans safer over many years,” says State Dept as King Abdullah visits DC. That “close cooperation” has not extended to US requests for the extradition of terrorist Ahlam al-Tamimi https://t.co/l0mb6dHoe5

Blinken thanks Abbas for his ‘consistent and resolute stance against terrorism.’ Abbas has not specifically condemned Friday’s deadly attack in #Jerusalem; neither has he publicly spoken out against the Palestinian street celebrations that followed https://t.co/AQzSZX3M7x

'Our child’s killer is living a life that makes a mockery of American justice...' @arnoldroth 10 years after the DOJ filed charges against a Hamas terrorist over a bombing in which Americans were killed, a major recipient of US aid refuses to extradite her https://t.co/aqDb39uf0x

As nations involved in the widening circle of Israeli-Arab cooperation meet on Monday, the glaring absence of #Jordan highlights again a deep hostility towards Israel in the kingdom, a leading recipient of U.S. financial assistance. #NegevForum https://t.co/00v9e2CkKh

The Iranian regime isn't happy with Biden's recent comment about the rest of world being 'a patch on [America's] jeans.' Meanwhile #Khamenei continues a campaign of lauding women's rights under Islam (compared by the oppression they face in the West) https://t.co/ZYkHaGMiBd https://t.co/0Rb4Jnj1yc

#Israeli UN ambassador @giladerdan1 tells UNSC that when he heard it was holding an emergency meeting on a minister’s “quiet, orderly and uneventful” visit to the #TempleMount – Judaism’s holiest site – he thought world peace had broken out ... https://t.co/AuPCDVuVsP

Dear Palestinian and Arab leaders, activists, media etc, please stop abusing the English language with your "storming" of the mosque nonsense. For more on actual "storming" see the clip below #TempleMount #AlAqsaMosque #BigLie https://t.co/Dej63iPa5W

17 years after it was created, the @UN_HRC begins 2023 with its smallest contingent yet of free democracies. @UNWatch's @HillelNeuer likens the situation to “naming Al Capone and his gang to fight organized crime ...” https://t.co/3cBT7b4NA2
