While this report isn't new, it was recently highlighted in a CAMERA webinar. With Congress revisiting budgets, taxpayers may be startled to realize the degree to which government-funded centers engage in the types of activism and propagandization that would be expected of a center funded by a hostile foreign government.

On this, I agree with Phyllis Chesler: For an Israeli Ambassador, with full diplomatic immunity, to be “brutally detained,” by the UN police/goon squad, merely because he held up a photo of Iranian martyr, Mahsah Amini, while the “butcher of Teheran,” Ebrahim Raisi, addressed the General Assembly—is beyond the pale. Erdan held up a photo which called for freedom for Iranian women now! He deserves a parade and a medal. Instead, as Erdan was walking out, he was taken hostage. This action, this photo-op, has crossed a dangerous line.... We know that the UN has never stopped a single genocide. Its’ only accomplishment has been the systematic legalization of Jew hatred via more than one hundred resolutions condemning Israel for alleged crimes that it has not committed—in fact, crimes of real gender and religious apartheid committed by Arab, Muslim leaders; human rights atrocities committed in totalitarian countries and in failed state everywhere—not in Israel—and yet Israel alone has been scapegoated. FYI Iran becomes chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum on November 2, 2023. #MahsaAmini & #WomanLifeFreedom

For those observing Yom Kippur, wishing you an easy fast.

On 9/11, the Biden Administration strikes deal with terrorist supporting Iran to release $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar without fear of U.S. sanctions. In addition, as part of the deal, the administration has agreed to release five Iranian citizens held in the United States. Monday’s announcement comes as President Biden and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi each prepare to travel to New York for the annual UN General Assembly next week. Amid the prisoner release talks, the U.S. and Iran have been discussing a possible informal arrangement that would seek to place some limitations on Iran’s nuclear program and avoid an international crisis. U.S. officials have insisted, however, that those talks are unrelated to the prisoner-exchange negotiations.
