UN inaction costs lives by the thousands

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

But that doesn’t really matter – UN publicly funded salaries are still paid out regularly so what are a few thousand civilian lives in Syria in the wider financial context, after all?

With something like 10,000 deaths in Syria – systematic regime massacres of civilians would be a more accurate description – already documented, the UN continues to do what it does best: ignoring bestiality on the part of Arab and/or Muslim regimes, while focusing with admirable tenacity on any Jew who wants to remodel his kitchen in Jerusalem. 

The UN has far outlived its usefulness. It has long served merely as a forum for distributing public funding both to despotic regimes and easily bought bureaucrats. The latter get their fat – tax-funded – salaries every single month irrespective of the mayhem, destruction and death they leave in their wake.

The UN needs to be closed down.

Then opened under a new umbrella, with membership open only to democratic states. Anything else is just deliberate – and hugely expensive – mockery of civilisation’s most basic principles.

Pat Condell puts it very neatly indeed in the video below. Among much else, he says with absolute clarity “I wouldn’t trust the UN to run a lemonade stand without thousands of people being needlessly killed“.

The truth about refugees in the Middle East

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Watch this admirably short and factual film about the origins of refugees in the Middle East and the cynicism that has perpetuated a human tragedy for 63 long years.

Danny Ayalon, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in Israel, explains why there still are Arab refugees from the 1948 pan-Arab onslaught against the Jewish state.

He explains why there are no Jewish refugees from that same conflict although far greater numbers Jews were expelled from their homes in the Arab world in the Islamic wave of ethnic cleansing.

Danny Ayalon explains also how it is that there are 1 million Arabs living in the Jewish state of Israel, but that Muslim Arab states such as Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, among others, are either totally judenrein or virtually so, despite having had large, flourishing communities of Jews living in the region for the past couple of millennia. Their ethnic cleansing took place just 63 years ago – accompanied by deafening silence from the UN.

The truth emerges

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Embarrassingly for Hamas, Turkey and their various overseas collaborators, the truth about the Islamist convoy against Israel is emerging, slowly but surely.

Read this eyewitness account from on board the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara, where well-trained Islamic terrorists went on the attack against the Israeli police action well before the Israelis even boarded the vessel. See also the previous item from this blog which shows CCTV coverage from the ship’s own cameras, detailing how the terrorists placed their weapons stores in strategic locations and how the terrorists suited up in body armour and tooled up with cold and hot weapons in preparation for their attack. It is worth emphasizing: this is Turkish CCTV, not Israeli footage. Of course, the Foreign Press Association, which is a figleaf for Arab and Islamist lobbyists, is protesting Israel’s usage of the footage that proves the country’s innocence because prior permission was not sought for use of the TV images! It seems the IHH mercenaries on board are being backed by FPA mercenaries on dry land…

The terrorists were well-trained, well-equipped (including with Motorola walkie-talkies for covert communication) and extremely professional. They first shot one Israeli officer in the stomach and another in the knee, then beat a third unconscious by repeatedly battering him with a steel club, and repeatedly stabbed another two in the stomach and back. They immediately discarded all their “hot” weapons – guns – in the sea in a vain attempt to remove the evidence. Unfortunately for them there were witnesses to the presence of their guns. What is more, on board the ship the soldiers found empty shell casings of a sort not used in or by Israel.

The automatic “condemn Israel” knee-jerk cacophony is already beginning to be damped as the truth begins to emerge. No matter how often Swedish fiction writer Henning Mankell claims that the only weapon on board was his shaver and his Swedish communist collaborator friend Dror Feiler maintains there “wasn’t even a nail-file on board”.

Thankfully it is not illegal to be stupid – at least not here in Sweden. We have our democracy to thank for that. Mankell and Feiler are therefore free to continue claiming whatever they like and to continue providing entertainment for their listeners.

One example of Mankell’s most recent proof of genius: he is now “considering” banning the translation of his books into Hebrew. Now that’s really going to hurt Israel – first we have the daily rocket barrages fired by Hamas in Gaza (here is a list of Hamas missile attacks on Israel this year alone, including the four rockets fired yesterday), and now the ultimate national disaster: Henning Mankell’s books may not be available in Hebrew. This undoubtedly spells the end of the Jewish state and Zionism’s future.

Almost immediately, however, Mankell backs away from his threat. Here’s what he says to Swedish newspaper DN (translation from Swedish:

At the same time, I don’t want my decision to hurt the wrong people, so I’ll have to think about it“.

The “wrong people”? Mankell is concerned solely with not hurting his bank balance – that’s the sum total of his solidarity with Hamas when the chips are down.

Truth, maturity, ethics and principle win over stupidity. Every time.

Here’s what Hillel Neuer from UN Watch had to say about the whole sorry Ship to Gaza “humanitarian aid” con trick. In all the talk about the “humanism” of the organisers and participants in this “humanitarian” action, it must be remembered that they all flatly refused to take up the issue of Gilad Schalit with their Hamas masters in Gaza. While still a teenager, Gilad Schalit was kidnapped from Israel and has been held without even a nod to his most basic human rights - no access to his family, legal advice, Red Cross visits, UN visits, medical attention.
