[the_ad id=”87125″]This is just more of the same from the UN. It has demonized Israel relentlessly for years. At least now we have an administration that isn’t joining in, but instead is resolutely on the side of Israel.
“US ‘Outraged’ by UN Report That Accuses Israel of Establishing ‘Apartheid Regime’ That ‘Dominates the Palestinian People,’” Algemeiner, March 15, 2017:
The United States expressed outrage on Wednesday over a report published by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) that accused Israel of establishing an “apartheid regime” that “dominates the Palestinian people as a whole.”
Story continues below advertisement“That such anti-Israel propaganda would come from a body whose membership nearly universally does not recognize Israel is unsurprising,” American UN Envoy Nikki Haley said in a statement. “That it was drafted by Richard Falk, a man who has repeatedly made biased and deeply offensive comments about Israel and espoused ridiculous conspiracy theories, including about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, is equally unsurprising.”
“The United Nations Secretariat was right to distance itself from this report, but it must go further and withdraw the report altogether,” Haley went on to say. “The United States stands with our ally Israel and will continue to oppose biased and anti-Israel actions across the UN system and around the world.”
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon stated, “The attempt to smear and falsely label the only true democracy in the Middle East by creating a false analogy is despicable and constitutes a blatant lie.”
Emmanuel Nahshon — spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry — compared the ESCWA report to Nazi propaganda.
“Friendly advice — don’t read it without anti-nausea pills,” he tweeted.
Reuters quoted UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric as saying that the publication of the report was not coordinated with the UN Secretariat.
“The report as it stands does not reflect the views of the secretary-general (Antonio Guterres),” Dujarric clarified.
The ESCWA is headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon and is comprised of 18 member states from the Middle East and North Africa….

After Israel pulled out of the Gaza strip within 10 days rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel, a thank you for giving them a great rocket launching site.. constant air raid sirens at all hours day and night made life for the average Israeli unbearable.. None of this was reported in the main stream media,
Hamas located their rocket launchers inside schoolyards by hospitals and even a UN building.. and used their own children as human shields to avoid retaliatory strikes. Major networks showed the children running around the schoolyards but didn’t show that when zoomed back they were being fired upon by Hamas to keep them penned near the launchers…
They pixelated out the actual rocket launcher to make it look like Israel was attacking schoolchildren without cause..

The evils if Islam even destroyed the greenhouses Israel left behind and turned them into rockets. ISlam is a disease and terrorism its symptom. Many if these countries do not even recognize Israel. Plus the rag head Jordanians refused to extradite Pizza parlor accomplice. Yet these rag heads whine about US putting rmbassy back in Jerusalem. TRump now needs to do it and stick it in their ear and tell thrm to F off.

They’re not forced to live there though. They are foreigners. They can seek employment in their own countries. The issue with the word apartheid is its misuse. It applied to South Africa because indigenous people were denied human rights. That’s not the case in Israel.

As if more proof is required to justify all decent countries to stop financing the u.n, shunning that organization of liars, racists, bigots and thieves. Get out of the u.n, deport all foreign persons occupying the building.

Outrage, shmoutrage. Put our money where our mouth is and leave the UN now!
PS – it would help fight the “apartheid” libel if Trump would move the American embassy to Jerusalem as he promised to do, and stop pressuring Israel to not build homes wherever they choose.

Breaking: Trump to Palestinians – No More Terror, or No More $$
http://www.debka.com/article/25964/Trump%E2%80%99s-envoy-to-Abu-Mazen-Crack-down-on-terror
– Debka File is not always right
– But this piece is congruent with other things said by Trump, Ambassador Freidman, and Middle East peace envoy Jason Greenblatt
http://forward.com/news/breaking-news/365890/trump-adviser-jason-greenblatt-is-on-listening-tour-of-israel-and-west-bank/
Trump has met and / or spoken to:
– Netanyahu (several times)
– Saudi Defense Minister Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
– Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas
– Jordan’s King Abdullah II
– Qatar leadership
-Today, March 16 2017, Jason Greenblatt meets with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Here is Trump’s list:
1. The Palestinians must return to the negotiating table without pre-conditions
2. A leading role for Egypt, Saudi, Arabia, Jordan and the Arab oil emirates.
3. Abbas must forget the moratorium on Jewish settlements on the West Bank.
4. No more two-faced baloney about terror:
– Palestinian media must stop broadcasting anti-Israel materials,
– Palestinian school curricula must be purged of hate Israel propaganda
– PA must stop naming streets and squares after dead terrorists
5. Terrorist suspects must be held and closely questioned to discover who gave them their orders, name their accomplices and reveal the source of their weapons and explosives, before going on trial.
6. No more remittances to the families of terrorists who were killed or imprisoned.
7. Palestinian security forces must stop letting uniformed members hold other jobs at the same time.
8. No more transferring half the Pali budget to Hamas in the Gaza Strip
Trump and Jason Greenblatt have said before that one-state versus two-state is up to the negotiaitng partners. Bibi has said many times that if the second state is like Costa Rica (no military at all), fine. But if it’s like Southern Lebanon, no way.

Oh ok, U.N. Then, get the hell out of Manhattan. You are a worthless organization anyway.

It’s time for the Israeli govt to grow a spine and just say NO to a two state solution. It didn’t work out in Gaza. The fakestinians can pack up and go someplace else… Pay them to leave. Far cheaper in the long run. That should be all the negotiation is about.. How much?
I know it’s politics… but it’s pure survival for the Jewish nation.

Too bad the UN was not on Trump’s hit list of wasteful spending ventures.

I see no point in even remaining in the UN, or paying anything to belong to it. It should be given its walking papers. It can relocate in Zimbabwe or Somalia.

“US ‘Outraged’ by UN Report That Accuses Israel of Establishing ‘Apartheid Regime’ That ‘Dominates the Palestinian People”
Telling the U.N. that something they’ve done has outraged us (cause us to be very upset) is, at best, a ludicrously empty gesture.
If we’re so outraged at the U.N.’s behavior and constant attacks on us, although we are, and by the greatest measure, the, the major funder of that most corrupt organization, we should GET THE HELL OUT OF IT AND STOP GIVING IT ANY MONEY!!!
Why Trump hasn’t already taken steps to do this is a matter of extreme concern.

The West – particularly the US, Europe and Israel (I consider Israel a part of the West) are in a heap of trouble. The fascist, totalitarian leftists want us destroyed and we’re well on the way to destruction, from within and without. I fear this will not end well for Patriots, for freedom and liberty loving people. Trump seems to be the only hope for the US and it’s a very, very tiny hope. He’s disappointing a lot of us.
