With 60,000 Said to Have Been Slaughtered in Syria, the UN Hews to Its Ongoing Obsession--"Decolonialized" Palestinian "Refugees"

Tell me again why we continue to fund this cretinous entity:

The past, present and future pepper debate in the General Assembly’s Fourth Committee, which deals with special political and decolonization issues over a timeline that arguably makes it the most versatile of the six Main Committees of the UN General Assembly. 

Yet the Committee’s thematic name – Special Political and Decolonization – offers just a hint of its many responsibilities. 

Initially mandated to address decolonization in the post-World War II era, the Fourth Committee has taken on ‘Special Political’ duties in 1990 after the independence of most colonies and all UN trust territories. However, the Committee continues to address a mix of political issues and the contentious issues of decolonization which still raises tempers and inspires heated debate.  

If the ‘decolonization’ tag clearly indicates the Committee’s commitment to seeing the world’s remaining colonial territories liberated, the ‘special political’ designation is distinctly more wide-ranging.

 

Under the latter can be massed a group of issues related to Palestinian refugees and human rights, peacekeeping, mine action, outer space, public information, atomic radiation and the so-called University for Peace. But it is precisely this eclectic spectrum that has led to the committee’s temporal elasticity...

"Eclectic spectrum"? "Temporal elasticity"?

Preternatural amorality and egregious Zionhass, more like.
