1941
British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt
aboard a warship off the coast of Newfoundland during the Atlantic Conference.
The conference took place from August 9-12, 1941, and resulted in the Atlantic
Charter, a joint proclamation by the United States and Britain declaring that they
were fighting the Axis powers to "ensure life, liberty, independence and
religious freedom and to preserve the rights of man and justice."
The Atlantic Charter served as a foundation stone for the later
establishment of the United Nations, setting forth several principles for the
nations of the world, including -- the renunciation of all aggression, right to
self-government, access to raw materials, freedom from want and fear, freedom
of the seas, and disarmament of aggressor nations.

The United Nations slammed Israel for possibly
committing war crimes in its fight against Hamas — and then
backed that accusation by suggesting the Jewish nation ought to be sharing its
Iron Dome defensive technology with the very terror group it’s fighting.
U.N. High
Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said
to members of the media at an “emergency” meeting of the U.N. Human Rights
Council that Israel was
falling short in its duty to protect citizens in the Gaza Strip from
getting killed by its rockets.
“There is a strong possibility that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes,” she said, Breitbart reported.
The U.N. group
listed among its reasons for making that claim that Israel outright
refused to share its Iron Dome with the “governing authority” of Gaza — which is Hamas, Breitbart reported. Ms. Pillay also
condemned the United States for helping to fund the Iron Dome for Israel, but not granting
any such accommodations to those in Gaza.
From the lofty ideas of Churchill
and FDR on the USS Augusta, we have
reached the imbecility of the U.N. High
Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay.
The UN has to be abolished. Now! Its further existence is an affront to
our civilization. Pillay's statement is in fact a reductio ad absurdum mathematical proof that the UN should not exist!
