Israel National News reported today on a commemoration ceremony held at the UN.
The United Nations held a "Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" last week. A large map of “Palestine,” with Israel literally wiped off the map, featured prominently in the festivities.
During the festivities, a map labeled a "map of Palestine” was displayed prominently between UN and PLO flags. The map, with “Palestine” written in Arabic atop it, does not include Israel, a member of the UN for 56 years. The map does not even demarcate the partition lines of November 29, 1947, marking a Jewish state alongside an Arab state. The partition was dictated by the UN General Assembly itself.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan attended, along with the Security Council and General Assembly Presidents. By their presence and lack of comment about the map with Israel missing, these UN leaders condoned this map.
At the start of the ceremony, the dignitaries present asked attendees to observe a moment of silence. “I invite everyone present to rise and observe a minute of silence in memory of all those who have given their lives for the cause of the Palestinian people,” the master of ceremonies said, “and the return of peace between Israel and Palestine.“
Anne Bayefsky, who reported on the event for the Eye on the UN organization, said that the ceremony's wording was aimed at giving honor to the worst of Palestinian terrorists. "It was a moment ... crafted to include the commemoration of suicide-bombers,” she wrote.
I'm apalled but not realy surprised. Has the UN celebrated a "Day of Solidarity with the Israeli People?" Have they stood for a moment of silence for the innocent Isrealis who have died at the hands of the many suicide bombers? Have they ever condemned nations, like Iran, who call for the destruction of Israel?
Until the UN begins to stand up for all of its member nations evenly, and until the UN begins applying pressure to the nations that harm their own and neighboring people, then the UN doesn't deserve to be hosted on American soil. The US needs to kick the whole lot of them out of our country.
Let the UN show their solidarity for the Palestinians by moving the UN Headquarters to Gaza.

Great post... especially about the move to Gaza.
Does Israel actually give money to these nitwits? Why do we? An argument could be made that the UN promotes terrorism by these actions. The White House should comment ...loudly.
Chris,
Over and over the UN has backed terrorist and tyrannical states. And then they had the nerve to claim the moral high ground and condemn the US and Israel.
Gaza might be too good for them.
The real question is, if things get more and more anti-Israeli -- which will translate into anti-Jew, and possibly in time extend to anti-Christian (for the true believers in Yeshua/Jesus)which side will each of us choose? The only reason Israel exists is as a fulfillment of Biblical propesy - God's doing. The real issue is not about the Jews, but who will believe God and His word. How one feels about the Jews and Israel reveals whether they choose to follow the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or to turn their backs away from Him. The consequences are ultimately eternal. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." How about you and yours?
