Opinion

What a total disgrace the body behind much of the woke craze driving the world insane has become, with members of that organisation now found complicit in the October 7 massacre. Yes, the United Nations, that great bastion of wokery.
The UNRWA was set up in 1948 to provide education, health
and aid services to Palestinians in Gaza. Reportedly 12 members of UNRWA are now suspected of assisting the Oct 7 terrorists. 
As has become the norm in these woke times, the 12 employees were simply dismissed. They were not arrested, and not charged. 
But what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you — the feeding is cut off. Many countries have now suspended funds to the UNRWA including the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and Australia. 
This should serve as a reminder to the wokerati that for every action, there is a reaction. And they may not like that reaction. 
Meanwhile, the ICJ has ruled no genocide, no call for a ceasefire, no call for reparations in South Africa’s case against Israel. 
And for their trouble, SA has responsibility to tell Hamas that they must release the hostages. They really should have stuck to their knitting dealing with wars and corruption closer to home. 
Other global matters . . . . The Biden non-wall deal is a distraction. All Biden needs to do is to sign an executive order that proof must be provided before an asylum hearing — how it used to be. Then the numbers will dry up, as will volumes of fentanyl and other illicit drugs coming over the southern border. 
The World Health Organisation’s plan to take over the world in the face of another pandemic goes to the vote in May. Any country signing up would effectively cede sovereignty to WHO during a pandemic, with WHO dictating how they treat their own citizens, and in doing, overriding their constitutions. 
And we still have Chinese scientists playing with coronaviruses, the latest reportedly much more virulent than Covid-19. When will the madness end?
