Americans saw a humiliating spectacle at the United Nations when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stepped to the podium and scores of diplomats walked out in protest, a public rebuke of the UN’s ever-growing bias against our closest ally. The mass exit during his General Assembly address underscored what many of us already suspected: the U.N. is no longer a neutral forum but a stage for political theater that punishes democracies and rewards dictators.
Netanyahu’s blunt defense of Israel and his warning about the reckless rush to recognize a Palestinian state exposed the moral inversion at the heart of the current diplomatic chorus; meanwhile, major Western capitals have begun to wobble and make moves that complicate the U.S. position. That divergence from American policy has created a dangerous disconnect — one where the U.N.’s posture now undermines security, encourages terror, and hands rhetorical victories to our adversaries.
On Friday’s The Record with Greta Van Susteren, Professor Alan Dershowitz spoke plainly and patriotically: the United States should seriously consider walking away from membership in an organization that so frequently targets Israel and rewards our enemies. Dershowitz’s call — made on a national conservative platform — reflects a growing, justified impatience among principled Americans who watch taxpayer dollars bankroll an institution that too often trades in hypocrisy.
This is not idle rhetoric; independent analyses show the U.N. is teetering on irrelevance, paralyzed by vetoes, bloated bureaucracy, and a revolving door of abusers on key councils. We should not pretend the U.N. is salvageable when it so consistently advances narratives that harm Western interests and embolden regimes that violate basic human rights.
Patriots who believe in American sovereignty should demand a practical strategy: stop funding toxic bodies, withdraw from politicized agencies, and rebuild alliances on a bilateral basis where results — not virtue signaling — matter. Washington’s recent moves to slash support for certain U.N. entities demonstrate that unilateralism can work when it is principled and aligned with the interests of American citizens and allies.
Congress and the White House owe the American people a choice: continue pouring billions into an institution that undermines our values, or reclaim our power and redirect resources to real security, humanitarian aid that reaches victims, and strong, enforceable partnerships. If the U.N. insists on being an arena for anti-American posturing, then the sensible, patriotic response is to stop rewarding it with our money and our deference.
Enough equivocation. Hardworking Americans expect their leaders to put country and ally first, not to apologize for standing with freedom. Let Dershowitz and other defenders of liberty be clear-eyed with us: if the United Nations will not stand for truth and justice, America should no longer subsidize its failures.
