The hatred displayed by the United Nations toward Israel is indeed unreasonable, incredible, unexplainable, and downright diabolical! This is a posted article from Berean Call Ministries (the ministry of Dave Hunt and Tom McMahon):
“UNITED NATIONS Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, now eight months in
office, is proving that his courteous manner should not be mistaken for
lack of resolve. The Korean diplomat’s administration has spoken out for
the victims of Darfur, confronted Sri Lanka over the killings of aid
workers, and acted to establish the international tribunal on the
assassination of former prime minister Rafik Hariri of Lebanon. Quietly
but firmly, Ban is helping to confirm the UN’s indispensable role in the
world.
Yet Ban has made little progress in restraining the UN’s own dark side.
Getting underway in Europe alone, in the space of a few days next week,
will be two UN-backed initiatives that run counter to the secretary
general’s efforts to improve the world body’s effectiveness and
credibility.
First, the UN on Monday will launch a series of international meetings
on racism, leading up to a major world conference in 2009. The
so-called “Durban Review” process is the follow-up to the 2001
conference in South Africa that turned into a diplomatic fiasco. All
indications suggest next week’s session, and the events that follow
from it, will mimic both the format and script of the original.
The lead-up to Durban in 2001 was hijacked by the 57-strong
Organization of the Islamic Conference. A February 2001 preparatory
meeting for Asian nations was held in Tehran. (Israelis were a priori
excluded.) The preparatory committee adopted a text singling out Israel
for “ethnic cleansing” and of a “new kind of apartheid, a crime against
humanity.”
Durban’s final declaration, after international interventions, toned
down the language, but went on to single out Israel. The US delegation
walked out.
Far worse, though, were the parallel proceedings held by the
nongovernmental organizations. One widely distributed flyer showed a
photograph of Hitler and the question, “What if I had won?” The answer:
“There would be NO Israel.” Goebbels-like caricatures of Jews circulated
freely.
In his eyewitness account published in the Fletcher Forum of World
Affairs, Democratic Representative Tom Lantos of California, a US
delegate, remarked that “having experienced the horrors of the
Holocaust firsthand, this was the most sickening and unabashed display
of hate for Jews I had seen since the Nazi period.” The final
nongovernmental organization statement declared Israel a “racist
apartheid state” guilty of “genocide.”
The ghosts of 2001 are almost certain to be conjured up by the shamans
of Durban II. In addition, Islamic states are expected to introduce new
accusations against the West for “religious defamation.” The subtext of
this refrain — which has made its way into UN resolutions over the
past six years — is that the greatest victim of Sept. 11 was actually
Islam.
The party chosen to chair the entire process through 2009 indicates its
seriousness of purpose: Moammar Khadafy’s Libya. The same regime that,
in 2002, gave its highest award to convicted French Holocaust denier
Roger Garaudy, that routinely brutalizes black African migrants, and
that tortures Bulgarian and Palestinian medics for the crime of being
foreigners. This is the country that will now teach the world about
racism — all under the UN’s imprimatur.”
