UN to Mourn 60 Years of Israel’s Existence (NOVEMBER 24th)
http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=5818 ^ | Nov 21, 2008 | Anne Bayefsky

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:

1. The display of a map in Arabic with the State of Israel missing altogether 2. Flying only the flags of “Palestine” and the United Nations, and omitting the flag of the UN member state of Israel 3. 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…” 4. 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.”

Where ias the world outcry about hte blatant RACISM in the UN? Where is the world wide condemnation? America has been called a racist nation despite great lengths we have goen to to erradicate racism, but the UN has been an unappologetic entity full of blatant racism! And hte dems want us to be more liek htem? and to be ‘liked by them’? Screw them!

I would sing the Israel national anthem during the “silence”. As a matter of fact, I say all Freepers download a copy and play it at that same time!

The UN is comprised of nothign but tools of Satan- The UN will most probably usher in the end times in an attempt to eradicate Israel- they are ‘testing hte waters’ to see how far they can go before hte world speaks up and complains- and apparently, they aren’t running into any serious opposition or condemnation, and you can bet they are goign to push even further-

Palestine, who isn’t even a nation, was allowed a seat in UN negotiations on issues involving Israel, while Israel, a legitimate nation, was NOT allowed a seat? Again- Screw the UN. Right before the end times, Israel should concentrate the majority of their offensive defences on the UN, then rush back to Israel to defend THEIR land!

That’s what all of the people abroad I have encountered, they hoped Obama would screw Isarel and hence, their support the color of his skin meant nothing, just Isarel.

1) The U-effing-N can kindly go and kiss my Gentile Zionist tailpipe.

2) The USA and Israel need to get out of the U-effing-N yesterday.

3) The USA needs to kick the U-effing-N out of NYC, raze the building, and cover the spot with a parking lot. The U-effing-N can relocate its sad self to a more suitable location, say Tripoli, Khartoum, Mogadishu, Tehran, Pyongyang, or the entrance to Hell.

So true.. If History teaches us anything, it’s that we must stand up for ourselves and not back down.

Barack Obama's Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote
By Cliff Kincaid
Feb 12, 2008
A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations. More here.

We have to understand that their intention is not to raise the rest of the world to our standards, but to bring us down to their level. We are in the midst of an economic war against America, which is being spearheaded by our own congress.
