Right to exist determined by revamped history

"Israel was using its missiles to protect its children. Hamas was using its children to protect its missiles." Rewrite history, if you will, but the moral witness of the real victims will testify to the truth

Hearing the defamatory accusations with which numerous countries blasted Israel during the UN Human Rights Commission meetings last week in Geneva, it is a wonder that any nation would be given latitude to call themselves sovereign by United Nations standards.

In fact, by the example set in these proceedings it’s become apparent the UN has trouble recognizing sovereignty of any nation-state that doesn’t meet their redevised historical context. America’s new ally in the war against ISIS, United Arab Emirates speaking for a coalition of Arab states, had the unmitigated gall (or should I say chutzpah?) to state that Israel had no right to defend itself against the willful and unprovoked attack from Gaza this summer.

On the other hand, it’s perfectly acceptable for the UAE and Egypt to do a flyover bombing run of Libya a month back, presumably to defend themselves from, what? The irregular terrorist regime that usurped control after the U.S. promoted Arab Spring offensive? One could also question why the UAE and Saudi Arabia along with a few other Arab states are partnering with the U.S. in the fight against ISIS. The answer couldn’t be any more obvious than economics and their interest in shutting down the black market oil sales that seriously undercut their oil revenues. It’s been floated that the same pretense of protecting oil production was behind the Libya air campaign as they feared attack on their oil fields from that quarter.
