Some kind of line was crossed when UN Secretary General Kofi Annan stood in front of a map from which Israel had been extinguished, and addressed a group celebrating Palestine. Call it the mainstreaming of the elimination of Israel.Eye on the UN has the story:
Our UN Ambassador John Bolton--the man the Democrats stonewalled -- is thankfully pursuing the matter with vigor. Which is why we urgently needed him in the UN when the Oil for Food scandal was unfolding, and which is why the Democrats have so much to answer for.
On November 29, 2005 I took a photograph of a map on display at a major meeting at UN Headquarters in New York, which omitted the UN member state of Israel. The map was perched on a frame at the front of the room with a flag of the United Nations on one side, and a Palestinian flag on the other. The occasion was the annual UN Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
How did it get there? Who was responsible? Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been calling for Israel to be wiped off the map, and the UN had literally-speaking already done so. American UN Ambassador John Bolton was properly concerned and wanted some answers. He wrote to Secretary-General Kofi Annan on January 3, 2006 posing three questions: "First, who is the highest level official within the Secretariat who approved the use of the map for the event? Second, does the United Nations intend to use the map in future U.N. sponsored functions and events? Third, in light of prohibitions under U.S. law to fund events such as this one, do you consider it appropriate for the United Nations to advertise and promote the event on its general website and other venues, which do in fact benefit from U.S. funds?"
No wonder the Left stood in the way of Bolton's appointment to the UN. Be sure to check out the rest of the story.
