This is the last of three essays on the sliming of Israel.
The other two essays are immediately below.
The first essay argued that the sliming of Israel is serious
business. The second essay explored why ‘Palestinians’ want to slime Israel.
This essay explores why the world helps ‘Palestinians’ do that.
In 1947-8, the UN authorized the creation of
modern Israel. As a consequence of that authorization, armies from five Arab countries attacked the new-born Jewish state.
Israel became a hero. It didn't just survive being attacked by those Arab armies. It beat those armies.
Israel became a hero. It didn't just survive being attacked by those Arab armies. It beat those armies.
That 1948 Israel seemed the re-incarnation of the Biblical
David. That new Israel-David had accomplished the impossible. It had beaten the
Arab Goliath.
Today, Israel is no longer admired. It’s no longer a hero. Instead,
it’s arguably the most reviled country in the world (James Kirchick, “The Jew
of Nations: The Global Demonization of Israel”, worldaffairsjournal,
November/December, 2014).
How did Israel go from plucky hero to ‘most reviled’?
There are many answers this question. Here’s one answer: the
United Nations has destroyed Israel’s reputation.
The UN has supported anti-Israelism since modern Israel’s
inception. In 1948, when Israel was attacked by Arab armies, the UN had the
perfect opportunity to validate the words of its Charter, which promised “to take
effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the
peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the
peace” (Article 1). The 1948 Arab-Israel
war gave the UN an opportunity to show the world it meant business as a force
for peace. But when Israel was attacked, the UN took no action.
That failure to act sent a message: the UN would not protect
Jews from annihilation, even after the then-recent horrors of the Holocaust.
That early anti-Israel passivity helped to initiate the anti-Israel
ground-work necessary for the 1975 ‘Zionism is racism’ vote. By 1997, anti-Israelism had
given way to demonization. For example, in 1997, a ‘Palestinian’ representative
at the UN demonized Israel with an outrageous lie (Jenifer Rubin, “The Obama
administration enables anti-Semitism at the United Nations”, washingtonpost,
February 16, 2016): s/he accused the Israeli Government of injecting 300 ‘Palestinian’
children with the HIV virus (ibid). This lie was a modern Blood Libel (ibid).
It incited to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist.
The UN did nothing about it (ibid). It still does nothing
about such slander.
By 2006, the UN formed its United Nations Human Rights
Council (UNHRC). This body is the greatest stage for demonizing
Israel the world has ever seen. It has condemned Israel more than all other
nations combined.
Think about the UN in these terms: without the UN, nations
which harbour anti-Semitism would limit their hate, for the most part, to their
own media—their own sovereign environment. But through the UN, these Jew-hating
nations now have an international stage. They use that stage to its fullest
advantage—against Israel.
The UN provides Jew-hate the spotlight it needs to grow more
virulent. It acts much like a petri dish serves to grow life-threatening bacteria.
The UN is supposed to be the world’s Moral compass. It’s
supposed to be the Sinai of Secular Morality. But it isn’t. It doesn’t use its
Moral ‘bully pulpit’ to protect the Middle East’s only democracy (Israel). It
uses its bully pulpit to bully that democracy.
No nation which suffers such bullying can remain a hero for
long. Israel’s status as ‘most admired’ has been transformed by the UN into
‘most reviled’.
If someone stood up to cry, ‘foul’, the demonization of
Israel would probably wither for lack of oxygen. But no one stands up for
Israel.
Christian Churches don’t. They join the slander. Islamic
clerics don’t. They lead the slander. The UN doesn’t. It organizes the slander.
‘Palestinians’ don’t. They demand the slander.
Israel is alone in the world--and demonized--for good reason. Both
Christianity and Islam each teach that Judaism will be replaced by their own, ‘better’
religion. They compete to be that
replacement.
The establishment of the state of Israel is a religious problem.
It contradicts that replacement belief. Israel’s existence potentially
invalidates a foundational element of those religions. The destruction of
Israel reaffirms that foundation.
Therefore, the destruction of Israel serves the world’s
largest Religions. There are more than 3 billion Christians and Muslims on this
planet. There are less than 15 million Jews. The Jewish population is no bigger
than a speck of dust.
When billions of people have been raised by their religions
to believe that the disappearance of the Jewish Israel is a key to their
salvation, where does that leave Israel? It leaves Israel with a target on its
back.
Because of that reality, the UN should protect the world’s
Jewish minority. It doesn’t. Instead, it supports the ‘Palestinian Cause’. It nutures
all who would destroy Israel.
‘Palestinians’, meanwhile, have united the UN’s Members.
They’ve done this through the lowest of common denominators—Jew-hate.
‘Palestinian’ propaganda has sold Jew-hate as the gateway to
world peace (Tuvia Brodie, “Why ‘Palestinians’ slime Israel”, tuviavbrodieblog,
September 19, 2016). They’ve gotten billions of people to cheer their war
against Israel. They’ve made it honourable—even desirable--to hate the Jewish Israel.
The ‘Palestinian’ plan is simple. It gives to a world hungry
for ‘peace’ the easiest recipe for peace: for world peace, destroy Israel
(ibid). For religious reasons, this recipe resonates with billions of people.
For these reasons, the UN should protect Israel. It doesn’t.
It helps the ‘Palestinians’ to slime Israel because the world already believes Israel
is Hell on earth.
The UN sings of peace. It longs for peace. It supports the ‘Palestinian’ path to
peace.
This is the reason the world helps ‘Palestinians’ slime
Israel: for peace. It’s the reason the UN helps the ‘Palestinians’.
Judging from the UN’s decades-long behaviour towards Israel,
the UN appears to promote the destruction of Israel (“Report: UN-backed groups
promote ‘destruction of Israel’, terrorism”, worldtribune, September 2,
2016). This is no surprise. The UN operates in a world that marinates in
Jew-hate. The UN nurtures that hate. That hate, and the spotlight the UN gives
it, has destroyed Israel’s reputation.
Apparently, the UN believes its treatment of Israel will lead
to peace. It won’t.
To find out where it will lead, study your Tanach. It’s
all there. All you have to do is look for it.
