Anne Bayefsky describes the way the UN continues to flout its own charter (and abuse your tax dollars) by providing support to NGO's that push everything from divestment to the outright destruction of Israel: Spreading Hate, Destruction & Terrorism - The U.N.-NGO cadre.
...The following is a sampling of direct quotes taken from the sites of U.N.-accredited NGOs. (Some of the sites contain generic disclaimers though the pieces have been deliberately featured.) The U.N. website links to some of these NGOs directly. They draw an inexorable line between anti-Semitism, belittling Jew-hatred or appropriating anti-Semitism, rejecting the legitimacy of a Jewish state, making wild-allegations against Israel of human-rights atrocities akin to the Nazis (starting with Israel’s creation and not a 1967 occupation) and justifying armed struggle, murder, and terrorism. And for what has not been achieved by military force, there is the boycott.
- “That Star of David, which we are told is originally a religious symbol, symbolized hate and evil. Even today, I couldn’t imagine a more hateful sign.”
- “[M]any Americans and westerners, long misinformed by the Zionist-controlled media especially after the events of September 11, 2001…”
- “[S]o-called ‘anti-semitism’…has now become the single most important element of Jewish identity.”
- “[A]nti-semitism has been taking place for 100 years in Palestine, against the Palestinian Arab semites, by European Jewish colonialists. A mini-holocaust.”
- “Zionism is against true Torah Judaism. But Zionism is even more than that; Zionism and anti-Jewish feelings are faces of the same coin of racism. In fact Hitler…talked about the “great movement” of Zionism (because both he and they agreed that Jews have no place in Europe)...”
- “Zionist apartheid, racism, and settler-colonialism in Palestine… is violative of the most basic human standards…Thus, the Palestinian resistance is justified…”
- “What do you think of the suicide bombings?...First of all we don’t call it a ‘suicide attack,’ we call it a ‘martyr attack.’”
- “[I]t is not only correct to call Israel an apartheid state but it is more imperative that we Americans stop funding and investing in such an oppressive regime….Some would argue that we would be singling out Israel or taking sides…We also did not say we took sides when we divested and boycotted…Nazi Germany (a boycott which was actually only violated by the Zionist movement in their collaboration with the Nazi regime…”
curious which NGO said which thing.
Oops, I posted this to the Sanctuary before I read the main blog. Sorry for the "re-run"!
