New UN Document Refutes Palestinian Claims

 

If carefully reviewed, this report has widespread implications for the Arab-Israeli conflict. While the UN is eager to condemn Israel for violating Palestinian rights, its own data suggests otherwise. The data disputes Palestinian claims that they are suffering as a result of a harsh Israeli military occupation. On the contrary, the Palestinians have actually benefited from their association with the State of Israel and their difficulties are the result of self-inflicted wounds. Palestinian problems stem from their intolerance, hostility, violence, and corruption, not from Israeli occupation. Those in the world who are concerned about the "plight of the Palestinian refugees" should carefully review this report. They may want to reconsider their support for establishing a Palestinian state. Two other reports from the UNDP, the Arab Human Development Report 2004, and HDR 2004, also raise serious questions regarding the wisdom of establishing a Palestinian State in lands currently controlled by Israel.

The mammoth 372 page report is titled Human Development Report 2005: International cooperation at a crossroads. The introductory material notes that 2.5 billion people in the world, which is 40% of the world's population, are living on less than $2 per day. About half of that population, 20% of humanity, is living on less than $1 per day (p.4, 24). The report emphasizes the significance of violent conflict as a barrier to progress: "Conflict undermines nutrition and public health, destroys education systems, devastates livelihoods, and retards prospects for economic growthPart of the challenge posed by human insecurity and violent conflict can be traced to weak, fragile, and failing states. Compounded failures to protect people against security risks, to provide for basic needs and to develop political institutions perceived as legitimate are standing features of conflict-prone states." (p.12). The report observes that in 2003 there were 29 ongoing violent conflicts, down from 51 in 1991. In Sudan alone, the conflict has claimed two million lives and displaced 6 million people (p.153). Yet the focus of world sympathy and concern seems to be directed towards 3 million Arabs living in Israeli territories who are receiving the highest amount of aid in the world on a per capita basis.

UN backs IRAN

The UN is clearing Iran of charges of enriching Uranium. Knowing what we know about the UN and its integrity, is this even remotely believable?
In a word......................NO!

U.N. agency findings back up Iran claim 
U.N. nuclear agency tests have concluded that traces of highly enriched uranium on centrifuge parts were from imported equipment rather than from any enrichment activities by Iran, a senior Western diplomat said Saturday.

Are they kidding? Don't they know what and who they are playing with? Here they are excoriating Iraq for considering the  death sentence..........

UN envoy urges Iraq to reconsider death penalty 
The United Nations' special envoy urged Iraq to reconsider carrying out the first executions since the 2003 overthrow of former dictator Saddam Hussein

While Iran is slaughtering their people unmercifully..............

UPDATE: File the following report under the "You don't say" file.........

Adoption of UN reforms in doubt, says EU official 
Brussels, Belgium, 08/20 - Chances are slim that the UN Security Council reforms proposed by UN secretary- general Kofi Annan will be adopted by the UN General Assembly in September, a senior EU official, speaking anonymously, said on Friday here.

BOLTON!

You gotta love it............................Day one on the job and BOLTON kicks ass and takes names.......

U.S. Warns Iran, Syria Over Iraqi Border - Irwin Arieff
U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, in his debut in the UN Security Council on Thursday, urged all nations "to meet their obligations to stop the flow of terrorist financing and weapons, and particularly on Iran and Syria."

The only pity is that the moonbat left made us wait so long. They will be the death of us all.........

the ICJ: "a Mississippi court in the 1930s. The all-white Mississippi court, which excluded blacks from serving on it

The UN, the ICJ*, and the Separation Barrier - War By Other Means
- Gerald M. Steinberg (Israel Law Review)

 

• Due to the power of the Arab lobby, Israel is uniquely subject to discrimination in the UN and is not a full member of any of the constituent regional groupings from which the ICJ members are elected. (In recent years, Israel has "enjoyed" second class status in the WEOG - Western Europe and Others Group.)
• On this basis, Alan Dershowitz compared the ICJ to "a Mississippi court in the 1930s. The all-white Mississippi court, which excluded blacks from serving on it, could do justice in disputes between whites, but it was incapable of doing justice in cases between a white and a black. It would always favor white litigents. So, too, the International Court."
• "Israel is the excluded black when it comes to that court - indeed when it comes to most United Nations organs. A judicial decision can have no legitimacy when rendered against a nation that is willfully excluded from the court's membership by bigotry."

*ICJ = The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations

Fierce Shredding at UN? SHRED THE UN!

You can watch the video HERE.

According to a UN staffer, Iqbal Riza is "at it again".

"Everyday he [Riza] appeared, he would put a large number of documents through an office shredder."

"No one knew what documents were being destroyed."

FOX News is reporting massive shredding going on at the UN. So much so it's become something of a joke at 41st Street - so not funny

We know  shredding began the day after the UN General Assembly approved the Volcker inquiry into the oil-for-food scandal, and was in defiance of a UN-wide order that all documents be preserved.

Starting the day after the U.N. Security Council authorized the Volcker investigation, Annan’s chief of staff, Iqbal Riza , spent seven months shredding documents for the years 1997 to 1999, covering the crucial first two years of Oil-for-Food, during which Annan greatly shaped and expanded the program. The shredding covered the period in which the U.N. in late 1998 hired the inspections firm, Cotecna, which had employed Annan’s son. (Riza has since resigned as chief of staff, but retains his diplomatic immunity and U.N. access as a $1 a year adviser to Annan) and  has since been named as to council on islamic relations (ha!)

What's being shredded, no one knows.......Could it have to do with the criminal investigation of Sevan? 

The man who once headed up the U.N. Oil-for-Food program is now the target of a criminal investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau.

Benon Sevan is already under investigation by the Independent Inquiry Committee, a U.N.-approved special commission headed by Paul Volcker that is investigating alleged Oil-for-Food corruption. The commission is looking into oil deals worth millions of dollars that Sevan allegedly arranged in exchange for kickbacks.

Sevan's name allegedly appears on documents relating to transactions with an oil company registered in Panama.

Hey Sevan, where did that $160,000 come from?

It's anyone's guess what is being shred but it ain't good (if they admit to moving child raping UN workers across the globe), this must be  awful.

UPDATE: We would like to know how you "Define Hero". Sounds easy, until you try to put it into words. Check out our latest post and let us know your thoughts! Thanks!

Dartblog asks: Remember John R. Bolton?

Confirm Bolton! before this corrupt organization comes to an agreement on how to "govern the internet".

UPDATE: The purging and shredding has been going on for quite some time. Tim Woods writes;

In April 2003 I reported, whilst then running a different publication than I am now, that critical records and correspondence related to oil for food were purged from the computer system at UN HQ. What Riza appears to have been doing is making sure that analogue copies of the digital stuff that disappeared long before Volcker came along.

http://lists.econ.utah.edu/pipermail/rad-green/2003-May/008574.html

That was followed up a year later with my leak of the UN audit of Cotecna's role in oil for food, shortly before Volcker got down to work.

Get your Grubby Dirty Paws off my Brain

I cannot imagine we would let these thugs, rapists, extortionists, antisemites aka the UN have  any say over the last truly free arena in the world. We are talking about the very same guys that perpetrated the largest heist in world history (oil for food) , calls Israelis nazis, rapes children in the Congo and then moves those rapists to other parts of the world

UN panel fails to agree on how to govern Internet
 
A group set up by the United Nations to come up with a global plan for managing the Internet said on Thursday that it has been unable to agree on who should do the job or how it should be done.

Ignorant Enema

and while I agree that Coffee Enema is ignorant .......

The New York Sun, New York's Great Iconic Newspaper and my favorite writer Eli Lake report the following

Annan Claims Ignorance on Iran Dissident

WASHINGTON - As three senators joined President Bush's call for the Iranian regime to release dissident journalist Akbar Ganji from prison, the secretary-general of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, yesterday refused to comment when pressed, claiming ignorance on the matter.

When asked by a New York Sun reporter if he would speak out on behalf of Mr. Ganji in light of the president's statement Tuesday, Mr. Annan said, "I don't know enough about the case, so I'd prefer not to comment."

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? The enema doesn't know enough about  Iran, the most treachorous evil regime in the Middle East? Iran is the leading state sponsor of TERRROR...........and Coffee Enema doesn't know?

But he and his evildoers compare Israel to Nazis............the UN is an enemy on the War on Radical Islam.

Where are the Jews on Bolton?

Pamela aka Atlas wants to know - what is it with the Jews?....................here is Bolton, a great friend of the Jews and where is the support..............?

Jewish inaction in Bolton fight highlights groups’ policy dilemmas

WASHINGTON, June 21 (JTA) — The White House is pressing American Jewish organizations to speak out in favor of John Bolton, President Bush’s choice for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, as Republicans push for votes to approve him.

While Bolton has been criticized by Democrats, he has been well received in the Jewish community, predominantly because he was the architect of the 1991 repeal of an infamous 1975 United Nations resolution denigrating Zionism as racism.

But Jewish groups have not expended much energy on Bolton’s behalf. That has angered Bush administration officials who say that Bolton’s philosophy on U.N. reform is in line with Jewish community views, and that the community...[WTF]

This same paralysis and twisted thinking that belies all logic holds the Jews back from supporting the President.

Why the Jews Hate Bush

What is it with American Jews? Not that anyone expects them to become Republicans or to rejoice that George W. Bush is in the White House. But why do so many of them revile him so?
While Israel's prime minister was as usual getting the warmest possible reception from the president, the American Jews I found myself talking to were as hostile to Mr. Bush as ever. Most of them simply couldn't abide the man. Indeed, they seemed less able to abide him now than they could when he was elected in 2000 or re-elected in 2004. "But why is that?" I said to one of them after another - all political liberals, many of them academics, all Jewishly knowledgeable and committed people. "You don't have to love Bush in order to see what he's done for Israel. He's the first American president to adopt the Israeli position that meaningful negotiations with the Palestinians cannot be held as long as Palestinian terror persists. He's the first president to agree with Israel that Palestinian democratization must be an integral part of the peace process and to prove he meant it by shunning Yasser Arafat. He's the first president to side with Israel on the question of its future borders by stating clearly that all areas of the West Bank in which Jewish settlers are heavily concentrated should be incorporated into Israel. "And needless to say," I went on, "Bush has also been the first president to order the military dismantling of an Arab dictatorship that was a strategic threat to Israel. The toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, though this was not its primary intention, has contributed more to Israel's physical security than any other presidential act since the Nixon administration's arms airlift during the 1973 war." The fact is that, in regard to Israel, Mr. Bush has been the kind of president that one would once have considered an impossibility. Given America's global interests, and its economic and political stake in the Arab Middle East, it has always been axiomatic that the best Jews could hope for from an American government was a balanced approach toward the Arab-Israeli conflict. The optimum was a president who, like Lyndon Johnson or Ronald Reagan, had enough sympathy for Israel to keep from tilting toward the Arabs rather than a president like Dwight Eisenhower or Jimmy Carter who didn't. A president who was openly and unabashedly pro Israel was quite simply unimaginable.

This is a real problem...............why the cognitive dissonance? It is a luxury the Jews cannot afford. They must get their asses behind those that fight for freedom, equality, and the individual. The left will destroy Israel............Get your heads out of your ass and smell the jihad.

The Enema Evacuates his position

Pamela aka Atlas is sure you  have seen the "sell out" Coffee Enema" played for us the other day in the Washington Post.
Admitting progress in Iraq while never mentioning the US............here is a soldier's take on the Annan piece from Irwin, Hawk

    ********

"Wow!  800 whole people that is less than half of the number of Americans that have given their lives to support the progress of Iraq.  And to refute some of their credits, it's the U.S. Military and a few other coalition forces that are helping with the government, the schools, and the security.
I have been in Iraq for over 7 months now and I have never once seen anyone for anything with a U.N. symbol on it.  :)  I wouldn't mind this article so much if it was just trying to take away credit from something I did personally, but what really doesn't set well with me is all of the great Americans that have paid the ultimate sacrifice deserve all the kudos and praises for anything good that happens here.  The U.N. only deserves a swift kick in the pants for not doing enough."

[Response to the Annan piece from a staff sgt stationed in Iraq with whom I've corresponded in recent months. This is a selfless gentleman who serves his country and his Lord in equal measure, and who never utters a bad word about anyone (except the bad guys). Name withheld to preserve his privacy].

Atlas understands Coffee Enema very well because anything more would have been a total sell out..............this way he makes it palpable to the international community to ingest this jagged little bitter pill without chewing................
