Episode notes
UNGA As A Platform For Authoritarians
- The UN General Assembly functions as a platform where many authoritarian leaders showcase influence and challenge the West.
- Hillel Neuer warns this gathering often becomes a 'catwalk for dictators' that counters American influence.
Questioning Rapporteur Immunity
- Neuer argues Francesca Albanese's rapporteur renewal was procedurally unlawful and thus she lacks U.N. immunity.
- He frames U.S. sanctions as justified because the renewal was never lawfully carried out by the Human Rights Council.
Education's Role In Radicalization
- Neuer links radicalization to educational messaging in U.N.-affiliated schools, arguing UNRWA curricula foster hostility toward Israel.
- He contends that teaching a 'right of return' and delegitimization contributes to violent outcomes like October 7th.
