The United
Nations (UN) is supposed to promote peace and security. It says so in its
Charter. But lately, the UN hasn’t been promoting peace. It has been supporting
terrorists.
Here is an
essay from the website, PJ Media. It was written by Roger L. Simon. I have
edited it. It was posted on August 12, 2014:
How
the UN Oppresses the Islamic World
…
People reading the title of this article should be excused for doing a
double-take. To most of us, the United Nations has been — especially in the
last few decades — a debating society dedicated to the promulgation of
anti-Semitism. It seems all the organization does is pass resolutions
condemning Israel, or launch
investigations of the same country via their Human Rights Council.
Even UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has been a tiny bit perturbed of late
by the orgy of Jew-hatred emanating from the organization he heads. Forget Boko
Haram and ISIS. Forget 170,000 dead in Syria. It’s the Jews that are the
problem….
Israel, meanwhile, is doing pretty well as one of the world leaders in
everything from microchips to medical research, possibly the world
leader for its size. Most recently, one Israeli company has come up with a way
to diagnose cervical cancer with a smartphone. Another company, Mobileye, has
just broken an Israeli record with an 890 million dollar IPO last week right in
the midst of the Gaza conflagration and a global stock meltdown.
As you may also have noticed, the Islamic world hasn’t had a lot of tech
IPOs lately. They’ve been too busy killing each other — and everybody else.
What’s the cause of this? Well, there are many causes that are not the
subject of this article, but the United Nations is — and the United Nations has
been a principle enabler of Islamic decline for decades.
Much like a family member who offers a last dose of meth to an addicted
cousin in the hope that he will eventually get off drugs, the UN encourages the
Islamic world to live in victimhood, blame Israel and do nothing for itself.
We have seen that writ large in the ongoing Gaza situation. If anything is
more morally repellent than the specter of missiles being stored in schools run
by UNRWA, it is the UN’s Gaza operative Chris Gunness bemoaning the fate of
children killed by Israeli attacks against those schools. What did Mr. Gunness
think was going to happen, given the way the UN had compromised those
institutions? It’s the UN who murdered those children, even more than the
psychopaths in Hamas, by allowing the terror organization to use the schools
for their evil purposes.
Worse, we don’t even begin to know the extent of UN collusion in the
building of the terror tunnels, which of course, in the end, will do nothing
more than result in the killing of yet more Palestinians, because it is the
Palestinians who will ultimately die from this suicidal, UN-enabled massive
waste of money, time and energy.
But now we may find out something more. From the Jerusalem Post:
Members of the United States Senate are demanding an independent
investigation into the role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
during Israel’s most recent war in Gaza with Hamas.
Accusing UNRWA of maintaining active and extensive ties with Hamas — and of
supporting its activities throughout the month-long war — Senate Foreign
Relations Committee members Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Marco
Rubio (R-Fla.) wrote a letter this week to US Secretary of State John Kerry
accusing the UN agency of bias and characterizing its role in the conflict as
“troubling.”
UNRWA, an ostensibly neutral agency tasked with administering aid to
Palestinian refugees throughout the region, adopted a political role in the
heat of the conflict, during which at least four of its facilities were badly
damaged and many of their inhabitants killed. During the deadliest days of the
war, UNRWA officials went on record accusing the Israeli government of
violating international humanitarian law.
UNRWA also publicly declared the discovery of three caches of rockets
stored in Gaza schools during the July battle. The organization did not
identify a responsible party for the crime, however, noting that the schools
used as weapons depots were “mothballed” for the summer months.
Media reports quickly surfaced suggesting UNRWA returned the recovered
rockets to Hamas, but those claims were never independently unverified.
“UNRWA claimed to have turned
over [the rockets] to the ‘local authorities’ or have gone missing,” the Senate
letter reads. “We fear that this means these rockets may have found their way back into Hamas’ hands.”
--
The UN appears to have no
shame. It will aid and abet terrorists. It will show favor to terrorists.
The leading international advocate
for world peace no longer understands the meaning of ‘world peace’. It
understands only, ‘let’s help terrorists’.
Will the United States reign
in this monster?
Don’t bet on it.
