Senators urge UN to designate Hamas a terror group

[Sojourner]

35 Senators on both sides of the aisle are cooperating in an effort to have Hamas officially labeled a terror group, which is simply a matter of defining the organization according to its actions. Only about a third of the Senate is on board, and there will be resistance from the UN, but it's at least a step in the right direction.

I mean I applaud the effort, but

The lawmakers also warned there "are multiple consequences of the UN not recognizing Hamas as a terrorist organization."


"First, the lack of a unified voice among the international community risks eroding the UN’s credibility in response to one of the worst terrorist attacks in history...."

The UN already has no credibility. Especially where Israel is concerned. They have voted against Israel more than all other nations in the world combined.

Yeah, it's more a show of support than anything else, but it's nice to see some at least make the effort. The Jews have faced opposition, adversity, murder, and mayhem for thousands of years, but are tough and resilient. They've survived everything evil men can throw at them because they belong to God, Who strengthens and preserves them. There is a divine light at the end of the current dark tunnel as well.

Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.
 (Isa 41:11)

Sure enough, not only did the UN not entertain the Hamas idea, it's adopted 8 resolutions condemning Israel. It's not really surprising, as most nations in the UN despise Israel.

Has anyone ever taken the UN seriously?

Has anyone ever taken the UN seriously?

Only the bloated bureaucracy that lives inside it.

Has anyone ever taken the UN seriously?

In 1947. One good thing they ever did.
