U.N. = UNfair

Hat tip: Arlene From Israel

It's no secret that the United Nations is fueled by various agendas.  If you're looking for objectivity, justice, fairness etc, you won't find it there.  That's especially true when it concerns the State of Israel.  November 29, 1947, the newly formed international body recommended/approved the establishment of a Jewish State, and ever since then, they've been trying to undo it.

No country has ever been condemned more than Israel.  No matter what we do, we're declared guilty by the United Nations.  And Israel, instead of packing its bags, closing its expensive Mission and condemning the rampant international hypocrisy, just keeps on trying to "make friends" and win back that fleeting moment of acceptance.

We have very few defenders there.  Eye on the UN stands alone, and now its Director Anne Bayefsky has been banned.
Israel is very much alone in the United Nations, and Bayefsky's NGO is its only consistent defender.  Now she is forbidden to enter.
Anne Bayefsky claims that as retaliation for giving a two-minute impromptu speech defending Israel, her 25-year career of monitoring the U.N. is now in jeopardy — likely to be placed in the hands of a committee chaired by the genocidal regime in Sudan.


Bayefsky gets special access to U.N. meetings in her capacity as the director of a non-governmental organization, the Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust at New York's Touro College.


But the longtime U.N. observer has found herself in what she calls a "Kafkaesque" gray zone, where the U.N. confiscated her credentials, then denied to reporters that her access had been blocked.


"This is no accident," she told FoxNews.com, arguing that she is being denied access to vital meetings concerning her prime focus: defending Israel. "This is keeping [the U.N.'s] major critic absent during the heart of the year."


Following a vote Nov. 5 at the U.N. General Assembly, a microphone was set up outside the UNGA chamber for delegates to tout their endorsement of the controversial Goldstone Report, which accuses Israel of committing war crimes during its invasion of Gaza last winter...


Here's the video of Bayefsky's impromptu speech:

Ah, the famous "did we capture them" incident! I actually blogged about it myself the other day.

You may also be interested in, if you have not come across it, a group called "UN watch." They monitor the UN Human Rights committee and defend the human rights of any group or people who are being ignored or abused by the UN Human Right's committee.

Thanks, Charlie, actually I had first written "UN watch" and then corrected myself. I must have known about that group, too.

Israel should leave the UN. It's an evil empire of sorts.

Let the goyim be united if they want. Israel is supposed to be a separate and holy nation.

Time to leave the UN.

"evil empire" for sure
