UN to Mourn 60 Years of Israel’s Existence

NEW YORK - This Monday, November 24th, the UN will commemorate its annual International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People with a film depicting Jews as Nazi-equivalents and a public exhibit mourning the sixty years of Israel’s existence.
“The event is an annual reminder that the UN’s real agenda is to delegitimize the birth - and the perseverance - of the state of Israel,” said Anne Bayefsky, Editor of EYEontheUN.org.
Monday’s observance marks November 29, 1947 - the day that the UN voted to establish a Jewish and an Arab state in Palestine - a decision accepted by the Jews and rejected by the Arabs. This year’s observance is being held a week early due to scheduling conflicts.
As in years past, there will be a formal meeting Monday morning of the Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, a film, an afternoon meeting of the General Assembly on the “Question of Palestine,” and the opening of a public exhibit in the entrance to the UN’s New York headquarters.
Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan referred to November 29th as “a day of mourning and a day of grief,” and the usual procedure is for UN member state after UN member state to use the opportunity to grieve for the suffering of the Palestinian people at Israeli hands.
The General Assembly is scheduled to adopt another six resolutions condemning only Israel for violations of human rights. The total number of resolutions criticizing Israel expected to be adopted at this fall’s General Assembly is 20, as compared to only four resolutions critical of human rights records in any of the remaining 191 UN member nations.
The 2008 installment of what is in essence a repeat of the “Zionism = Racism” allegation, will be the public showing of the film “La Terre Parle Arabe” or “The Land Speaks Arabic.” The film draws parallels between the Nazis’ final solution and the alleged Zionist design for Palestinians. It is commonly billed with these words: “…the late-19th century Zionists…drew up plans, put them into practice, then…used… force, often brutal.”
Here is some of the script for the UN public’s edification:
-
“Christians and Muslims alike…unite in their hatred of Zionism…I preferred to die as a martyr rather than be governed by the Jews …We were against the Jews…The number of Jews increased constantly…The children cried …The Hagana had no mercy, no pity. Zionists! They were Zionists!… The Jews were shooting at us, they were facing us…The Jews yelled “turn around you bastards, you dogs.” They machine gunned us…They started killing people who were asleep…[We]…found a poor woman…pregnant. They had killed her and the baby came out of the womb. They started slaughtering them until morning.”
The exhibit to be opened at 6 p.m. on Monday in the UN lobby - the public entrance through which school children from across the United States and tourists from around the world pass every day - is entitled “The Palestinians: 60 years of struggle and enduring hope.” Bayefsky comments:
“The “sixty years” of struggle is telling. It puts a lie to the alleged root cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict as an “occupation” that began with the 1967 war. The real complaint is the alleged wrong of the creation of the State of Israel itself.” She adds: “The carefully selected word “struggle” also speaks volumes. What the UN glorifies as a struggle is a series of wars launched by Arabs to annihilate the state of Israel beginning in 1948, and the ongoing “struggle” of Palestinian and other Arab terrorists dedicated to the same end.”
Past UN Palestinian Solidarity Day observances have included:
- The display of a map in Arabic with the State of Israel missing altogether
- Flying only the flags of “Palestine” and the United Nations, and omitting the flag of the UN member state of Israel
- Opening the day with a moment of silence commemorating the death, among others, of suicide bombers or “all those who have given their lives for the cause of the Palestinian people…”
- Exhibits promoting terrorism and the alleged right of return while criticizing a host of non-violent efforts by Israel to prevent terrorism from checkpoints to a security fence - all of which are invariably presented as evil steps taken in a vacuum.
“Anyone hoping to see an Israeli flag flown in addition to a Palestinian one in celebration of the UN partition plan that approved a two-state solution, should not hold their breath,” said Anne Bayefsky, Editor of EYEontheUN.org. She continued, “the UN tradition of mourning the creation of the state of Israel continues.”
just in case anyone had a different idea, this clearly shows that the u.n. is nothing but a bunch of antisemite, anti israel jew haters. period.

Israel should leave the den of vipers. We should not attend a party where we are not welcome guests. We could save many millions of dollars to boot. We kick out of Israel all UN agencies and not allow any NGO’s aligned with any UN body to either operate from Israel nor use our facilities like airports, ports and roads. They can supply through Egypt, At least to Gaza. The west bank closed completely to all foreign International organizations. All International organizations in Jerusalem closed and foreigners deported. We can find alternative work for our then unemployed diplomats, like herding sheep. Lets revive the once proud Zionist ethic.

The “den of vipers” should be forced out of the USA. They are only a parasite here and belong in Saudi Arabia or Iran. I am a strong supporter of John McCain’s idea of America & Israel leaving the UN and joining a new League of Democracies - no non-democratic countries allowed.

For a majority of UN members who so much looked forward to, revelled in and still enjoy the memories of their Durban I Jew hate fest and who are readying themselves to repeat that experience at Durban II, this upcoming UN Annual Commemoration of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People will be a terrific Jew hating foretaste of what awaits them at Durban II.
“Never Again”, the words bespeaking and rejecting the horrors of the Holocaust have had about as much impact as the expression, “enough is enough”.
It is a fact that the majority of the world hate Jews. Many of those nations have never had anything to do with Jews and Israel and have never been impacted in any way by Jews and Israel and yet they find reasons to hate Jews and Israel.
Where are the great democratic nations, being the U.S., Canada and the E.U. in all of this?
Why have they not said to these racist hate filled U.N. members, get the f’k out of the U.N., live your racist hate filled lives on your own time and in your own countries, but don’t ever, ever try to mess us up with your racist hate or we will crush you.
Democratic respect for freedom appears to include tolerance for the freedom to hate, so long as that hate is directed at only a very tiny number of Jews in the world and a very tiny country, like Israel.

Like a League of Democracies won’t include Great Britain? Watch the BBC coverage of anything about Israel to see the pro-palestinian slant that infects Britain. The U.S. UN ambassador reports directly to the Secretary of State. Guess we shall now see how much Hillary really believes in Israel once she doesn’t have to worry about the Jewish voters of New York because whoever it is will still report directly to Hillary, not Obama.
Bill Narvey - google “Protocols of Elders of Zion” or “International Jew” (Henry Ford Sr’s version). Even the Japanese seem to be fans of the lie that will never die. Israel needs closer ties with both China and India, not necessarily other democracies. Ok, I give the Nordic countries an exception.

You are correct here; only impediment for us is America………….. A declining Empire!

Is there anyone in the Israeli government that has the courage to stand up for Israel’s basic rights?

Not on the horizon.

What ever happened to “Am l’vadad yishkon” (”a nation which dwells alone”)?
China is truly Israel’s enemy. Look carefully behind the diplomatic scenes and see how they have consistantly done everything possible against us. They have not a moral fiber in their national and politcal fabric. The same cannot be said for the United States, in spite of the ugliness that pervades in the upper echelons of the governments, particularly in the White house and in the State Dept.
As for India, it has changed its tune(s) somewhat ever since crawling away from its past addoration of anything marxist but they are not and will not be in a position to help us out in such matters.
The Ribbono Shell Olam is playing chess with us and we are running out of moves. Let’s go here or let’s jump there is not the solution. You know that.
