    Tragic: Saudi women's rights activist give up hope. So do I here when Saudi Arabia now sits on: 🇸🇦🇺🇳 UN human rights council 🇸🇦🇺🇳 UN women's rights treaty body 🇸🇦🇺🇳 UN women's rights commission 🇸🇦🇺🇳 UN women's empowerment agency 🇸🇦🇺🇳 UN human rights council advisory committee

    For the first time in my life I am hopeless about a better Saudi Arabia. I lost my youth to radicalism, I lost my career to driving a car, I lost my child to pre-history juricidial system, I lost my home land to have freedom of expression.

    The UN leaves the world of reality behind by voting 146-3 for "State of Palestine" (which has no effective control & therefore cannot be a state) to pretend to be a state & chair the 134-member G-77 group of UN states. Australia & U.S. join Israel in voting No. Canada abstains.

    "The U.S. strongly opposes the Palestinian election as Chair of the G77, as well as the so-called enabling resolution in the UN General Assembly. The Palestinians are not a UN Member State or any state at all."
