The UN has been morally bankrupt and a complete joke for many years now. Terrible.

We’ve seen this misinformation and antisemitism for so long. We seen this hatred and now we have hatred of our own. We in America have seen what the Muslim extremists can do to innocent people. How long before the truth comes to light and then we talk and stop all this.

Perhaps I should fast on November 24 to demonstrate how the United Nations makes me so sick, I cannot eat.

What a loathsome exhibit. Even if you think the UN has a particular responsibility towards Israel/Palestine, the UN is supposed to be working for a peaceful solution, not spreading Arab hate speech.

The partition of India isn’t really comparable to the partition of the Palestinian Mandate because there was no Balfour Declaration for India. The massive foreign immigration into Palestine made the creation of Israel especially artificial. The closest contemporary analogue is maybe the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus: after partitioning the island, Turkey sponsored massive immigration into northern Cyprus to juice the demographic claim.

The refugee crisis was different, too. Whereas there was no hope for refugees in India or Pakistan to return to their homes, back in 1948 I think most people assumed the Arab refugees would be repatriated fairly quickly. Arab intransigence prevented that from happening, of course.

And as to the chap who says he’d rather die as a martyr than live under Israel oppression, well, I think he and the IDF have a common goal there.

“[Millions of Muslims moved to Pakistan and millions of Hindus and Sikhs moved to India.” Hundreds of thousands, and perhaps more, died. Still, we should feel sympathy at the Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs still languishing in refugee camps sixty years later, denied their sacred right of return.

Same for the Sudeten Germans, eastern Poles, Ionian Greeks, etc.
