The U.N. Bias against Israel
The corrupt and anti-Semitic United Nations is finally coming under fire from Jewish organizations. CNSNews has the story:
It's good to see these organizations fight back especially in light of the so-called cease-fire, which will not be a cease-fire, but rather the enforced cessation of Israel's right to defend herself.
Additionally the cease-fire allows Hezbollah to claim victory, and from what I understand they don't even have to return the two kidnapped Israeli soldiers.
We never really know what goes on behind the diplomatic scenes, but in my opinion this agreement is an obvious net loss for Israel and for the U.S. as well, given the fact that Hezbollah (Iran/Syria) is as much our enemy as it is Israel's. We just have the luxury of being oceans apart, but that separation unfortunately provides little more than a false sense of security.
But I digress.
Jews, Jewish organizations and supporters of Israel around the world need to rise up and denounce the actions of Kofi Annan and the U.N. who transcend the language of moral equivalence and actually place the terrorist groups on the moral high ground.
In an era when we are seeing anti-Semitism growing around the world much like it did in the 1930's, the last thing we need is a corrupt and biased U.N. giving legitimacy to anti-Semitic terrorist groups who wish to destroy Israel as well as America.
(CNSNews.com) - Jewish organizations are stepping up pressure on U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, whom they accuse of siding against Israel in its war against Hezbollah.
The move comes amid growing criticism of a range of U.N. bodies that have issued declarations blaming Israel for the crisis.
"How many more Israeli civilians must die before you condemn Hezbollah?" the Anti-Defamation League asked in an ad published in The New York Times Thursday.
In a letter to Annan sent a day earlier, the organization said: "While you clearly are not at a loss for words when it comes to criticizing and denouncing Israel, a member state of the United Nations, you seen unable to muster an equally strong voice to denounce the daily firing by the terrorist organization Hezbollah of hundreds of rockets into Israel specifically aimed at and intended to kill and maim civilians."
The Jerusalem Post reports that the ADL last week joined representatives of three other U.S. groups -- the American Jewish Committee, B'nai B'rith and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations -- in meeting with Annan.
They reportedly urged him publicly to declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
Annan's spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, issued a statement Thursday saying the secretary-general "reiterates his call that the fighting must stop to save civilians on both sides from the nightmare they have endured for the past four weeks."
