Israelis Are Victims Of Global Apartheid
The UN isn't about diplomacy any more. For decades, even the most insipid anti-Western pipsqueeks could be counted on to at least make the same sounds that diplomats make, albeit in the interest of fracturing any coherent response to the machinations of dictators and tyrants. Now the cesspool is losing even that thin veneer of diplomatic nicity or rational deliberation.
Even couple of weeks, some top Iranian official or another threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Sometimes it's in the context of nuclear weapons, sometimes it's about unleashing Hezbollah, and sometimes it's all just put into Allah's hands. But the statements have the same thing in common: they threaten to annihilate a UN member state. But in the UN, Iran reasonably get up and accuse Israel of belligerence. In a world where no anti-Israel absurdity is too spectacular or shameless, this just kind of seems reasonable.
Israeli sensibilities count for nothing in the United Nations. The UN Secretary General had no problem this week going to Yasser Arafat's grave to honor a man who history has judged as an unrepentant mass murder. Step back from this for a second and you'll realize how surreal this is - Arafat died a proud and declared terrorist. And Ban Ki-Moon laid a wreath at his grave... why? To prove that the UN refuses to reject genocidal anti-Jewish lunatics? Was he afraid that his meetings with the proud parents of suicide bombers was too unclear? Like people weren't getting the message...?
And while the UN is treating Israel's enemies with the most delicate respect, Israeli sensibilities count for absolutely nothing. Israelis are openly denigrated and humiliated all the way down to the day to day workings of the organization:
Mr. Azoulay joined the trip in London on Thursday, and Ms. Montas said that the United Nations had been told that the visa might come through while the United Nations group proceeded to Cairo and Jordan... "The Saudis have a lot of countries coming which have no relations to Israel, and it appears they had more concern about that than they did about the United Nations," said an organization official who asked not to be identified so as to speak frankly.
Israelis are the globe's second-class citizens.
