Merely Tweeted, “US Engagement At The UN…” Edition

Highlights, lowlights, links, and skepticism about the administration’s assurances that we’re “shaping” the UN, from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream:

Should be “compromised more” | RT @DannyAyalon: If PA bid is realized – UN will be compromised http://t.co/WdH5Qywa

RT @iowahawkblog: I’ll say it again: the UN is the geopolitical equivalent of YouTube commenters.

Fair question | RT @CiFWatch: @UN why is @UNWatch banned from attending your antisemitic conference Durban3 later this week?

Just a reminder: Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon is on the UN Security council and will be voting on Palestinian statehood. Magic.

Obama admin has now criticized UN for (a) being unfair to Israel and (b) wasteful spending. THINK ABOUT THAT. http://t.co/yUR6Dzvt

Assuming that already-in-session UN will condemn. No you say? | RT @Reuters: Yemeni forces attack main opposition camp http://t.co/uCfQU4sI

It’s really amazing how watching the UN General Assembly is an argument for defunding the General Assembly

By orders of magnitude | RT @CoreyJacobson: UNGA today in a nutshell: Greater applause for mention of Arafat than for call to release Shalit

It’s the UN. What else would you expect?|RT @BarakRavid: Members of Israeli delegation are only ones in hall that are cheering for Netanyahu

Oh really? Which ones? | MT @mozgovaya: Assist. Sec. Brimmer: “U.S. engagement at UN has… advanced core American values”
