"... restrictions on Muslim worshippers..."

'The resolution repeatedly denounced Israeli actions, including the use of force, imposition of restrictions on Muslim worshippers and archaeological work. Israel regards such criticism as politically motivated.'

That line comes from this BBC report on UNESCO's latest anti-Israel move.

"Israeli actions, including... restrictions on Muslim worshipper" 

That line is fascinating especially as it's actually Jews that are banned from worshipping on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, whilst Muslims worship in a mosque there, a mosque that was built on top of the ruins of the Jewish Temple.

The United Nations and the BBC united by a hatred of Israel...

UNESCO declares Islam as the most peaceful religion of the world

I think this is satire but with the United Nations you can't be certain.

'In a major development that should silence critics of Islam who have been blaming it for terrorism, UNESCO has declared that Islam is the most peaceful religion of the world.

The United Nations body released a statement earlier today that revealed that UNESCO had partnered with International Peace Foundation six months back to study all religions of the world and find out which was most peaceful amongst all.

"After six months of rigorous study and analysis, we have concluded that Islam is the most peaceful religion," Robert McGee, head of comparative studies wing of International Peace Foundation declared in a press conference that was attended by UNESCO officials too.'

Israel Among World's Best Nations to Live, Says UN

'Israel has ranked in the top 20 of the United Nations' best countries to live in list.

World military leaders slam @Amnesty, praise IDF

'Israel fought "an exemplary campaign" during the Gaza conflict last year, an independent group of prominent military personnel and a former United Nations war crimes prosecutor has concluded.

A report by the High Level Military Group (HLMG), made up of 11 former military and intelligence leaders from five continents, said Israel operated "within the parameters of the Law of Armed Conflict" and had even "in some respects exceeded the highest standards we set for our own nations' militaries,"

The group unanimously agreed that Israel's military response was reasonable.

"Israel's efforts were entirely justified, appropriately conceived and lawfully carried out, and necessary in the defence of that country's national security."

The study was compiled this summer during six fact-finding and research trips.

The former officers, who held important positions in the US, UK, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Indian, Australian and Colombian defence forces, said they had enjoyed a level of access to military information which was "undoubtedly in excess of what our own countries would afford in similar circumstances."'

Saudi Arabia Wins Bid to Behead of UN Human Rights Council Panel per View from Geneva

The United Nations is beyond belief time to for decent democratic countries to boycott this vile organisation.

'GENEVA, September 20, 2015 – U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power and EU foreign minister Federica Mogherini should condemn and work to reverse the appointment of Saudi Arabia as head of a key UN Human Rights Council panel that selects top officials who shape international human rights standards and report on violations worldwide, said UN Watch, a non-governmental watchdog organization based in Geneva.

"It is scandalous that the UN chose a country that has beheaded more people this year than ISIS to be head of a key human rights panel," said UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer. "Petro-dollars and politics have trumped human rights."

"Saudi Arabia has arguably the worst record in the world when it comes to religious freedom and women's rights, and continues to imprison the innocent blogger Raif Badawi," Neuer added.

"This UN appointment is like making a pyromaniac into the town fire chief, and underscores the credibility deficit of a human rights council that already counts Russia, Cuba, China, Qatar and Venezuela among its elected members."'

Migrant crisis: UN 'shocked' over clashes in Hungary per BBC News

The BBC report http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34275400 that the UN is shocked but they want you to be shocked too, as they are.

'UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said he is "shocked" after Hungarian police fired tear gas and water cannon to force migrants back from its border.

Mr Ban said such treatment of asylum seekers was "unacceptable".

Hundreds of migrants were involved in the clashes at the border between Hungary and Serbia on Wednesday, trying to break through a razor-wire fence.'

Shouldn't sovereign countries be allowed to decide who enters their country? Without control of their borders what is the point of being an independent country? 

Of course that is why the United Nations and the BBC want uncontrolled immigration; the United Nations want more power as a World Government and the BBC want more immigration especially of Muslims to break down national identities in Europe and beyond.

United Nations Representative Admits Hamas Fires Rockets By UNRWA Facilities

UN Rep Admits Hamas Fires Rockets By UNRWA Facilities

This will not be reported on the institutionally anti Israel BBCbut it should be. How can the BBC be held to account?

UN official admits that Hamas are using UN buildings as shields

That's John Ging of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations confirming that Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza fire their rockets into Israel from near UN buildings, using them as shelter.

Let's see if the BBC or Channel 4 report this admission.... Of course I know they won't, it's not as though they are unbiased news reporting organisations.

Who's John Ging?

John Ging (born 1965) is an Irish national and former officer in the Irish Army who served as head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip from 2006 to 2011. As head of the United Nations’ 10,000 employee operation there, he became a sought-after commentator by the media and an information source for foreign governments during Israel’s 2008-2009 offensive in Gaza.

Here’s part of his current UN bio:

John Ging, an Irish national, was appointed by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as Director of the Operational Division at OCHA in February 2011. He oversees the day-to-day management of all OCHA field operations worldwide and on behalf of the Emergency Relief Coordinator, and is her day-to-day focal point for supporting Humanitarian Coordinators. Mr. Ging is also the lead adviser to the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs on operational decision-making.

Hot Mic Catches Un Interpreter Saying Anti-Israel Votes Are 'A Bit Much'

In 2014 China, Cuba, Russia and Saudi Arabia became members of the United Nations Human Rights Council - Does that seem right to you?

The United Nations has forfeited the right to make moral judgements.

The United Nations translator that told the truth

I think I posted this story when it broke but here's the video and transcript, thanks to Harry's Place and UN Watch

“I mean, I think when you have five statements, not five, like a total of ten resolutions on Israel and Palestine, there’s gotta be something, c’est un peu trop, non? [It’s a bit much, no?] I mean I know… There’s other really bad shit happening, but no one says anything, about the other stuff.”

The United Nation's obsession with demonising Israel whilst ignoring horrific human rights abuses across  much of the Muslim world is both vile and predictable bearing in mind the malign influence of the OIC.

The United Nations is biased against Israel - This time it is official

In a quite amazing turn of events, Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, admitted to a group of Israeli students that there is indeed an “unfortunate” bias against Israel in the UN:

Responding to a student who said Israelis felt their country was discriminated against in the international organization, Ban confirmed that there was a biased attitude towards the Israeli people and Israeli government, stressing that it was “an unfortunate situation.”
Ban met with the students as part of the UN Model international academic convention initiated by students at the College of Management.
[...]
Addressing the attitude towards Israel, Ban said that the Jewish state was a UN member and should therefore be treated equally like all other 192 member states. Unfortunately, he added, Israel has been criticized and sometimes discriminated against because of the Mideast conflict.

Despite these stirring words however, Ban Ki-Moon hasn’t done anything to ease the built-in bias against Israel.

United Nations and Palestinians / Israel

That the United Nations has a Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People does suggest that they may not be entirely unbiased with regard to the Israel / Palestinian conflict.

A history lesson for Fraz

I've been having some frustrating conversations with someone by the name of Fraz (@FromFraz) on Twitter regarding Israel, settlements etc.

Here's a video that he and his ilk should watch, especially from around 7:00, it might teach them something about the borders in the Middle East.



Did you note the Armistice Agreement between Israel and Jordan from 1949 (at 22:38)?

'the Armistics Demarkation line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary, and is delineated without prejudice to rights, claims, of either Party to the Armistice as regards ultimate of the Palestine question...'

Did you also understand the apartheid section from 43:07?


So @FromFraz please watch the whole video before you come back to me about settlements or apartheid.


Nice work Professor Eugene Kontorovich.

Elder of Ziyon: PLO's new attempt to use UNESCO to co-opt Jewish history

'... the PLO's strategy of joining UNESCO has nothing to do with culture or education. It is meant to do no less than to co-opt, and delegitimize, the history of Jewish people.'

UN leaders to condemn Palestinians for incitement to terrorism | CiF Watch

United Nations do something useful, I am in shock...
http://cifwatch.com/2012/12/20/un-leaders-to-condemn-palestinians-for-incitement-to-terrorism/

The four European members of the United Nations security council are drawing up a strong joint condemnation of recent Palestinian acts of terrorist incitement amid growing international censure.

The unusual statement, expected this week from the UK, France, Germany and Portugal, follows blunt criticism from the US of official PA radio broadcast of songs explicitly encouraging 

Palestinians to engage in deadly suicide bombings against Israelis.  

Western leaders were especially incensed that such incitement was aired a mere two days after ‘Palestine’ was granted observer status at the UN.  The statement also condemned recent videos broadcast by Hamas, on Al-Aqsa TV, describing the killing of Jews as “a religious act in worship of Allah”.

Actually when I read the next part I thought something might be up:

William Hague, the British foreign secretary, urged Palestinians not to approve such broadcasts, saying that if they continue “it would make a negotiated two-state solution very difficult to achieve”.  Government sanctioned calls to murder civilians are “illegal under international human rights law”, he added.

 William Hague taking a stand against Palestinian incitements to terrorism, yeah right.

The article is of course a spoof...
