Yeah, but only because giving them official power would be horrible optics in America particularly.
Those organizations are de facto where Western policy has been shaped for 50+ years.
- AlbertCory 4y agoThat's a matter of opinion, I'm afraid. We may have hit the limits of useful discussion here. It's like saying "Big business controls our foreign policy." Or maybe, "International Zionism controls our foreign policy." You're welcome to think that, but I'm not going to engage.

- AlbertCory 4y agoSorry, I don't think so. "Unelected cabals operating behind the scenes" -- that's an age-old trope. And there are certainly HN'ers who'd subscribe to that. Just try mentioning the West Bank and watch them pop up.
