UN Grants Palestine Seat After Terror Attack Kills 1,200 Israelis

The United Nations, a body more renowned for its bureaucratic bloat than for meaningful diplomacy, has decided to roll out the welcome mat for the “State of Palestine,” granting it a cushy spot among member states during its latest General Assembly session. This move comes hot on the heels of a shocking act of terrorism, one that left 1,200 Israelis dead in a tragic outcome of relentless jihadist aggression. Clearly, the UN thinks rewarding terrorism is the best way to foster peace—a bold strategy from an organization that tends to confuse morality with muddled diplomatic gestures.

The push for this questionable recognition began not long after the bloody events of October 7, 2023. The Times of Israel reported that a significant majority in the General Assembly has asserted that Palestinians deserve full statehood, a notion that continues to be quashed by the United States. In a moment that could only be described as surreal, the UN has opted to applaud a group that has repeatedly failed to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. One would think that needing peaceful coexistence as a precursor to statehood would be common sense, but apparently, that’s an outdated concept at the UN.

Now, with their shiny new seat at the table, represented by the Palestinian Authority’s envoy, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinians can now submit proposals and sit among UN member states. This momentous occasion is sandwiched between tables for Sudan and Sri Lanka—because nothing says legitimacy like a little diplomatic proximity to other nations with their own share of issues. Egypt’s ambassador expressed joy over the development, labeling it as a historic moment, but perhaps he should consult with ambassadors from democracies on how to genuinely promote peace instead of simply giving a pat on the back to the perpetrators of violence.

The atmosphere at the UN could be best described as one of oblivious euphoria. The deputy Israeli ambassador, Jonathan Miller, offered a reality check by pointing out that legitimizing Palestinian status essentially means sending a winning lottery ticket to terrorists. In a world where the UN prioritizes discussion over actual deterrence, one can clearly see that any advancements in status for the Palestinians come with a baffling incentive for those who wage war. After all, why negotiate peace when a seat at the UN is up for grabs?

The official rhetoric from Palestinian leaders paints a picture of tolerance and brotherhood, but it often mutates into outright declarations of jihad against Israel. The sentiments expressed by Palestinian officials indicate that even with a state in their sights, hostility is not on the agenda for resolution. Mahmoud Al-Habbash, an advisor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, epitomizes this contradiction by insisting that terrorism is not merely acceptable but a religious duty. Such proclamations showcase that the jihadist ideology is deeply entrenched and will flourish more with perceived validation from bodies like the UN.

This latest development is a classic case of the UN’s knack for appeasement, where awards are doled out to those perpetuating violence, effectively sending a clear message: violence can indeed pay off. The establishment of the “State of Palestine” at the UN is not a step toward peace but rather a troubling endorsement of a narrative that condemns Israelis. Ironically, while the UN boasts of promoting cooperation and dialogue, it is only sharpening the resolve of those determined to see Israel erased from history.
