The United Nations: World's Leading Purveyor of Antisemitism
Gatestone Institute ^ | September 16, 2014 | Anne Bayefsky

Posted on 09/18/2014 5:26:26 AM PDT by SJackson


Anne Bayefsky speaking at the United Nations, New York, on September 8, 2014.

Why couldn't the UN... sponsor a conference on combating global antisemitism?

In theory the UN Charter demands equality of... nations large and small. In reality the UN mass-produces inequality for Jews and the Jewish nation.

The UN has launched a "legal" pogrom against the Jewish state. A "legal" pogrom is a license to kill.

Modern antisemitism targets Israel's exercise of the right of self-defense because self-defense is the essence of sovereignty.

My time is short, too short to try to emulate the diplomatic sophistry that passes for respect in the meeting rooms of the United Nations. So I will get right to the point.

The UN is not having a conference on the threat that global antisemitism poses to international peace and security. This is lunch-time. The courageous organizer, assisted by the principled representatives of the small state of Palau, is independent of the UN. The facilities are not free.

But why couldn't the UN, founded on the ashes of the Jewish people, and presently witnessing a widespread resurgence in antisemitism, sponsor a conference on combating global antisemitism?

The answer is clear. Because the United Nations itself is the leading global purveyor of antisemitism.

Photo-ops of the UN Secretary-General and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at the gates of Auschwitz are not an alibi.

One does not honor the memory of Jews murdered by intolerance six decades ago by inciting murderous intolerance towards the remnant of the Jewish people in the here and now.

Incitement to hate, like declaring Israel to be racist – as does the UN Durban Declaration – is the flagship of the UN's racist anti-racism program of action. In theory, the UN Charter demands equality both of individual men and women and of nations large and small. In reality, the UN mass-produces inequality for Jews and the Jewish nation.

◾35% of all resolutions and decisions ever adopted by the UN's top human rights body – the Human Rights Council – that are critical of the rights records of specific states condemn one state: Israel. That is antisemitism.

◾50% of the emergency special sessions of the General Assembly over six decades were convened to denounce Israel; no emergency special session has been called on any other state in over thirty years. That is antisemitism.

◾The Human Rights Council has a fixed agenda with one item to condemn Israel at every session, and one item to consider the other 192 UN member states if "required." That is antisemitism.

◾70% of all the 2013 General Assembly resolutions criticizing specific countries for human rights abuses were about Israel. That is antisemitism.

◾The UN Division for Palestinian Rights denies entry to public meetings at UN Headquarters for individuals and NGOs that it discovers are Jewish and Zionist, as it did to me and Birthright alumnae last November. That is antisemitism.

◾This past May, the UN screened a film portraying Israel as a green monster that rises off the Gaza coast to attack Palestinian children. A UN-authorized film about the 2009 Gaza war, mirroring the vile Nazi imagery of the Jew as a serpent, is antisemitism.

Modern antisemitism targets Israel's exercise of the right of self-defense because self-defense is the essence of sovereignty. Demonize and delegitimize self-defense, the plan is, and the viability of the Jewish state will be degraded.

In 2009, Israel responded to 8,000 Hamas rockets and mortars launched over almost a decade. In 2014, Israel responded to 4,382 rockets and an underground labyrinth of 32 terror tunnels, 14 of which opened into Israel.

The current UN chant of 2,000 dead, by its own admission, includes hundreds and hundreds of genocidal Palestinian combatants (in addition to the civilians forced to become human shields).

In 2004, when Israel targeted Hamas terrorist leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, and there were no civilian casualties, the UN still called it a violation of international law.

So the truth is that at the UN, for Israel alone, none is too many. That is antisemitism.

Today, UN antisemitism has taken yet one more treacherous turn. The UN has launched a legal pogrom against the Jewish state.

Hired guns, posing as independent arbiters, such as William Schabas are appointed to discover what they've already found. Guilty!

Phony legal rules misinterpret proportionality to favor a "more even number" of dead Israelis. The Iron Dome worked too well!

And the International Criminal Court is poised to pounce.

Serious about never again? Then never forget that the perversion of the legal system is how genocide begins. A legal pogrom serves as a license to kill.

The UN is not having a conference about combating antisemitism. But we are.

So let us start by combating the legal henchmen and human rights impostors at the United Nations.

The lady to Anne Bayefsky's left appears amused. I'm sure the UN was pleased with Anne's brief comments.

Perhaps it is possible to boot the UN out of the United Sates—say to Belgium or Switzerland, It would be a start.

With the US ‘lead’ by a muzzie, and thus essentially anti-Semetic, what would you expect?
Who’s to stop it?

“49 countries in the U.N. are mooselimb.”

At least. I think you may be missing a few.

Certainly the largest voting bloc in the UN.

“So let us start by combating the legal henchmen and human rights impostors at the United Nations.”

With what? An international court that they control? An international forum that they control? You can’t beat them at their own game on their own turf with their own weapons.

I propose EMA (Eastern Minorities Alliance). And by alliance I mean diplomatic, military, economic, academic, scientific, and media relations. India, Cyprus, Armenia, Greece, South Sudan, Greater Kurdistan, and of course Israel should stand shoulder to shoulder defending one anothers’ rights and interests, and those of the friendless minorities that are being slaughtered with impunity throughout the near and far East. It’s obvious that the UN will do nothing voluntarily. The only questions is whether EMA should even work within the UN, or if that is a waste of time and we should go our own way together.

That’s the number, the official number that I have read. Then there’s countries like us that lean for the muzzies every chance we get. Of 192 UN members I’d say 180 lean towards the muzzies.
