U.N. ambassador Yehuda Lancry pleaded with the UN not to compound the tragedy by voting to condemn Israel's response to previous terror attacks while Israel was still collecting the scattered body parts of terror's latest victims.

His pleas fell on deaf ears. Fifty-four nations showed the courage of their convictions by abstaining, avoiding going on record supporting Israel,but unable to bring themselves to condemn Israel as Israel cleans up after its sixtieth fatal bombing attack.

The remaining 74 nations voted to approve the Arab sponsored resolution. Specifically, the Arabs wanted to condemn Israel for refusing to accept a fact-finding team to look for 'facts' to confirm a 'massacre' that even the Palestinians are no longer claiming happened. Not a word was said about the homicide bombing that was aimed at young Israeli civilians at a popular nightspot.

All sides agree that roughly 56 Palestinians were killed - the overwhelming majority of them Palestinian gunmen -- along with 23 Israeli soldiers.

Human rights groups have said 22 civilians were killed, although the definition of 'civilian' is difficult to determine in an urban guerilla battle zone. Still that doesn't qualify as a 'massacre' by UN standards.

At least, it didn't when Dutch UN peacekeepers stood by while 7,500 Muslims from the eastern Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica were killed by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995.

The town was under the protection of Dutch UN peacekeepers after it was declared a "safe haven" in 1993 by the United Nations.

The UN's 'fact-finding' mission to Srebrenica eventually concluded the "sole responsibility for the Srebrenica massacre -- the worst atrocity on European soil since World War II -- lies with the Bosnian Serb troops under the command of General Ratko Mladic".

Not with the battalion of Dutch UN soldiers charged with protecting the UN-declared "safe haven."

The UN's 'fact-finding' mission to Jenin was abandoned by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Thursday after he tried for 13 days to overcome Israeli objections to the group's mandate and composition.

After failing to get the Security Council to condemn Israel and compel it to accept the fact-finding team, the Arab nations called for an emergency General Assembly session to present their case.

The Arabs would have preferred Security Council action, which, unlike General Assembly resolutions, has binding force and legal authority. A General Assembly resolution does not.

The majority of the assembly voted to condemn "the attacks committed by the Israeli occupying forces against the Palestinian people in several Palestinian cities, particularly in the Jenin refugee camp."

Palestinian U.N. representative Nasser Al-Kidwa said that efforts in the Security Council to keep the fact-finding mission alive were blocked by the threat of a veto by the United States, one of the five permanent council members with veto power.

That being said, it is significant to note here that there are four other nations with veto power; Great Britain, France, Red China and Russia. None of those nations voted to block the Security Council resolution regarding an investigation into a massacre that they knew by then had never happened.

U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte, said the United States opposed the resolution. He said that Middle East peace could not be advanced through "one-sided resolutions" and "unbalanced rhetoric."

Negroponte pointed out that there is no mention of Palestinian suicide bombers. "The condemnatory rhetoric against Israel contained in this resolution will not contribute to the efforts of the international community to urge both parties to take decisions they need to make to end violence and return to negotiations," Negroponte said.

The UN's War Against The Jews

The UN's hatred of Israel dates back to the 1947 Partition Plan it formulated to create a Jewish State side by side with a Palestinian state. Voting against the Partition Plan, which would have created two states and internationalized Jerusalem, were Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey and Yemen.


Not one single Arab or Islamic state voted in favor of a two-state solution in 1947.

The Jews accepted the Partition Plan, which granted them the area on the map marked in blue. More than 75% of the grant was desert.

When the British announced plans to pull out of the British Mandate Zone in May, 1948, the Arabs immediately called a general strike. Riots crippled Jerusalem. War broke out when Israel declared itself a nation over UN objections.

Israel refused to withdraw within the boundaries of the rejected Partition Plan after they defeated the Arabs in the 1948-1949 War of Independence.

When examined closely, one finds the Partition Plan has no legal validity.

The Partition Plan was adopted by the General Assembly, not the Security Council.

Resolutions of the General Assembly have the force of recommendations to member states of the United Nations but do not have any mandatory force, as noted regarding the latest GA resolution over Jenin.

Although Palestine, in 1947, was still subject to the British Mandate that had legally terminated as a result of the dissolution of the League of Nations, it did not affect its statehood or the sovereignty of its people.

So the question of its future government was a matter that fell exclusively within its own domestic jurisdiction and could not become subject to adjudication by the United Nations.

The United Nations did not possess any sovereignty nor did it exercise any other right over Palestine. It therefore had no power to partition Palestine in the first place.

The UN doesn't like to be corrected on its own, chartered principles now, and it didn't like it then. When Israel survived the Arab onslaught and then refused to surrender the territory it captured during the War of Independence, it won the undying hatred of the global body.

The historical record is replete with evidence. For example, prior to the Madrid Conference in 1991, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir commissioned an analysis of U.N. voting towards Israel.

From 1967 to 1988 the security passed 88 resolutions directly against Israel, zero resolutions criticized or opposed the actions or perceived interests of an Arab state or body, including the PLO.

During that time, Israel was "condemned" 49 times, Arab countries not once. In the General Assembly, 429 anti-Israel resolutions were passed in that span. Israel was "condemned" 321 times. Arab nations? Not once.

It was only a couple of weeks before the 9/11 attacks that the Durban Conference condemned Israel as a "racist apartheid state" guilty of "systematic war crimes, acts of genocide, and ethnic cleansing."

It is fitting to recall Israel's Michael Melchior's brilliant rebuttal that Israel is nation of people 'of a particular birth, irrespective of their faith, and those of a particular faith, irrespective of their birth'. It was this racist Israeli state that years before had rescued 51,000 Ethiopians in danger of being wiped out by massacre and man-made starvation and brought them to Israel.



Only last April, the UN Human Rights Commission, [which had booted the US off the year before] passed a pro-terrorist resolution condoning "all available means, including armed struggle" to establish a Palestinian state.

Six European Union members joined the 57 nations of the Islamic Conference in the vote that amounted to legitimizing suicide bombers. The UN Human Rights Commission's record regarding Israel is no better than that of the General Assembly or Security Council. Of all condemnations by the commission, 26 percent single out Israel.

By comparison, such bastions of human rights as Syria, Libya and Saudi Arabia [where people are routinely arrested and tortured for being Christians] have never received a single word of UN condemnation for their stellar human rights records.

The UN's lopsided view of Israel is stunning, when put under the microscope. One of the very first resolutions passed by the UN Women's Conference identified Zionism as one of the chief obstacles to the emancipation of women in 1975.

This was two years after Prime Minister Golda Meir led Israel to victory in the Yom Kippur War. Israeli women owe the nation the same military obligation as men. Israeli women fought side by side with men in every Israeli war since the War of Independence.

To date, there has never been a woman at the head of an Arab government, let alone during wartime.

Only last week, Saudi Prince Abdullah demanded an all male crew on his commercial flight to Crawford Texas and an all male air traffic control crew. The point is obvious.

Why has the UN been so resolutely anti-Israeli? What can explain the decision to condemn Israel for conducting a war on terror at the very moment terrorists proved such a war is unavoidable?

What is there about the Jewish state that generates such hatred that the only countries willing to stand with Israel besides the US are Micronesia and the Marshall Islands?

Simply speaking, because Israel is filled with Jews. Only three years after the global effort to exterminate the descendants of Jacob from the face of the earth, the Star of David flew over the ancient ancestral homeland of the Jewish people.

The prince of this world, the one who Paul calls the prince of the power and the air knows Who Israel represents, and so does the government he leads. Ezekiel explains in a nutshell God's purpose for Israel.

"Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there."

God scattered Israel for the purpose of revealing Himself to the nations. He restored them to the same purpose. Whether the world wants to admit it or not, Israel remains a visible reminder of the God the global humanists have dedicated themselves to supplant.

Israel's afflictions are only in part the consequence of Israel's unfaithfulness. Paul says Israel's blindness is in part to afford an opportunity for salvation to the Gentiles.

"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."[Romans 11:25]

Israel has not been rejected by God, despite the fact some Christians teach that it has been. The Jewish state has a future destiny that cannot be denied by the UN's war against the Jews.

Those who claim the Church has replaced Israel and that Israel has no part in the covenant are just plain wrong.

"And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God." Leviticus 26:44

The UN's war against the Jews is unreasoning, blind anti-semitism so ingrained in its members they are blissfully unaware it even exists.

Any critical thinking person can see the truth, yet the UN consistently finds the 'anti-truth' when it involves Israel.

It is almost supernatural in its scope and breadth. In fact, scratch 'almost' from that last sentence.

It IS supernatural.
