The truly disgraceful United Nations gave a stage
to Palestinian Authority's aging leader, Mahmoud Abbas, at a special
anti-Israel UN event in praise of Nakba, a global Arab Yom Kippur that
bemoans the fact that five Arab armies, hundreds of Palestinian
terrorists, and thousands of Palestinian rockets, have been unable to
destroy the Jewish State of Israel. At the podium of the United Nations
in New York, the antisemitic Abbas compared Israel to Nazis when he said
Israelis "lie just like Goebbels."
Actually, it was Abbas that lied to the UN and the world when he said
that Israel prevented Muslims from access to the Al-Aqsa compound on
the Temple Mount when, in fact, 200,000 Muslims prayed there daily
during Ramadan.
The deranged Abbas lashed out against the US and UK saying they were responsible for the displacement "of
a million Palestinians during the 1948 war," and claiming "they bear
political and ethical responsibility directly for the Nakba of the
Palestinian people" by deciding to establish another entity in his
"historic homeland." They did it, he said, "for their own colonial goals
and objectives."
He failed to mention that the world body at the time also created the
Muslim countries of Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia, as
well as protecting Egypt. The outlandish Abbas also made the
breathtaking claim that the Hebrew Bible, "including the Torah", proves
that "the Palestinians were descendants of the biblical Canaanites." The
rambling Palestinian leader contradicted himself several times. Despite
his very public antisemitic rantings and incitement against Jews "and "their dirty feet," he falsely claimed at the UN that he was not against Jews.
This, despite the fact that there still exists a Palestinian law that
any Arab who sells his land to a Jew faces the death penalty. But the
biggest contradiction of all was when he mumbled about being open for
talks with Israel about a two-state solution but then conditioned that
by demanding Palestinian rights to both land within sovereign Israel as
well as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and also demanding the right of
return of "Palestinian refugees" to land within the pre-1967 lines. In
other words, a no-Israel solution.
Abbas ended his speech with the demand that the United Nations suspend
Israel's membership at the UN. I wonder what the result of such a vote
would have been, given the absence of the relatively normal countries
that removed themselves from the insulting UN event? I guess that Israel
would not be a UN member today.
