The US will no longer abstain when the UN engages in its useless annual vote on the Golan Heights. The resolution is plainly biased against Israel; on Friday, we will vote no.

This afternoon, the UN will vote on a US resolution that asks a simple question: do countries support Hamas' terrorism, or don't they? The UN has a chance to condemn Hamas for the first time. If the UN fails to do so, its lack of credibility will speak for itself.

It's unthinkable that for 27 yrs UN members have blamed the US for denying human rights and freedoms to the Cuban people. Instead, countries should be focused on the real cause of the Cuban people's suffering—the dictatorship that has oppressed its people for decades.
