Well, here’s something fresh out of the United Nations: On Friday, the new secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, had some nice words to say about Israel.

Speaking to Israel Radio, the new UN chief said there’s “no doubt” that Jerusalem is holy to all three of the major monotheistic religions, adding that it’s also “completely clear that the Temple that the Romans destroyed in Jerusalem was a Jewish temple.”

Welcome words, after one UN agency recently insisted the Temple Mount isn’t Jewish — but what really matters are the votes.

Like the ones that passed last month’s Israel-bashing Security Council resolution.

Yes, the Obama administration bears the chief blame — it refused to veto the measure, and indeed worked behind the scenes to see that it even came up for a vote.

But the whole United Nations has long been rife with Israel-bashing — endless efforts by rank human-rights abusers to condemn the Jewish state for imaginary “crimes.”

Now that Security Council slap may prove a tipping point. There’s serious talk in Congress about slashing the US payments that cover a fifth of the United Nations budget.

You have to wonder if that’s why Guterres is suddenly talking so nicely about Israel.
