you can't have a 'united nations' if the host doesn't allow all to attend;
The Trump administration’s ban on Palestinian delegates attending the United Nations General Assembly this week clearly shows that the United States has forfeited the privilege to host the world body.
Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency is bringing the U.S. and the UN into total disrepute. The blocking of the Palestinian delegation is just the latest in a series of wanton acts by the Trump administration upending international norms and peace, all of which show that the United States has openly devolved into a rogue state.
Trump’s ordering of extrajudicial killings by blowing up civilian boats in the Caribbean without any evidence, his aggression towards Venezuela, and putting a $50 million bounty on that country’s president, his bombing of Iran, and his slapping of illegal, unilateral economic sanctions on scores of nations – all demonstrate that the United States under Trump is out of control, beyond law and order and the UN Charter. For such a state to claim the right to host the United Nations – supposedly the highest international authority – is a travesty.
The flagrant hypocrisy of the United States is beyond bearable. The Trump administration announced that it was denying a visa to the State of Palestine’s President Mahmoud Abbas and his aides, preventing them from traveling to the U.S. to address the UN’s annual General Assembly. The reason given was that the Palestinians are allegedly supporting terrorism and constitute a “national security threat” to the United States.............more.........
