I saw a brief mention on Google News from the UN Press Room, concerning UN Kristallnacht commemorations. So I thought, gee, wonder what UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon had to say? So I checked. Nothing. While I was searching, I thought I’d see what has been issued on the Palestinians in the last few weeks.
Bonanza.
And that was just the first screen.
It’s good to know that the UN SecGen is so “distressed” about the Palestinians, it made him forget to mention the 70th anniversary of the pogrom that started the Holocaust. Because after all, he wouldn’t want to offend the sensibilities of the Jew-hating membership of the United Nations.
Actually, I’m shocked they mentioned anything at all about Kristallnacht. No Palestinians were killed in it.
It’s not so much that no Palestinians were killed in it, Meryl, but more that Jews didn’t perpetrate it.
I had difficulty in keeping a straight face as I read the following.
Nowadays, the U.N. would get involved to blame the Jews and declare that the “punishment” that the Germans meted out as a result of Krystallnacht did not go far enough. They would also insist that the “Palestinians” were the real victims and it was the “Zionist press” that was insisting that Jews were targeted.
So who is going to enforce those “laws” on violators. Who enforced them in Rwanda? Nobody. Who is enforcing them in Darfur? Nobody. Who enforced them in the Balkans? Well somebody actually did. It was the USA. What is the UN response to the nation that might actually expend blood and treasure to realize human rights for some group being degraded or genocidally massacred? They piss all over us.
Saddam mooned the UN’s resolutions for 12 years. If somebody likes the UN he ought to be grateful that the USA, with help from Britain and some others, put the defiant scum out of business and liberated the Iraqis from a decades old tyranny. Nope. The fact that the US did it is enough to make the action undesireable, even evil.
But see that, as Darfur and Rwanda show, if the USA does not lead, a beneficent act will not be done. The UN is not about realizing those principles of human rights they blather about so often. If it were the UN would be coming down hard on the Palestinian Arabs and praising Israel for its record on human rights. This applies both to the UN bureaucracy and the vast majority of its membership. The UN is about posturing and symbols, enabling tyrants and terrorists and extolling antisemitic racism, but the UN and those who support it recoil from subsantive action like the Devil from incense.
