Using outrageous demands, such as that Israel disband its army or bankrupt itself on behalf of Gaza — to undermine a ceasefire — makes UN officials advocates for endless bloodshed.
Thank you for this excellent article. The UN remains committed to the global hate movement of antizionism and almost all its actions reliably conform to their ultimate goal of destroying Israel and with it, half the world's Jews.
Thank you, Shlomo, that was a carefully researched, factually accurate and truthful account in every respect.
It’s also depressing, because the endgame obviously sought by the terrorists and their supporters is renewed conflict, more violence and death which (in their minds) can be relabelled as Israel breaking a cease fire.
It is unacceptable for the world to stand by and - for example - not accept and publicise reality. When considering such reality, the UN & the Rapporteurs are clearly living on a different planet!

Excellent essay! The writer paraphrased what appeared in Sanhedrin 6b. The actual quote by Rabbi Yehoshua ben Korcha I believe is clearer:
“It is a mitzvah to mediate, as it is stated: ‘Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates’ (Zechariah 8:16). Is it not that in the place where there is judgment there is no peace, and in a place where there is peace, there is no judgment? Rather, which is the judgment that has peace within it? You must say: This is mediation.”
After reading this, I actually listened again to the Leading Podcast with Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell where they interviewed Francesca Albanese. It was painful. This podcast came out in March of this year. Here is a quote from Ms. Albanese.
“..soon after October 7, I was completely shocked and sick at what I saw like you and I said this is the moment for the world to come close to the Israelis and the Palestinians as a people with wisdom and compassion and I’ve not seen an inch of it…”.
Honestly, I look at the UN much differently now. It is a hotbed of antisemitism.
I couldn’t agree more. It is a kangaroo court that needs to be disbanded. I am grateful for UN Watch. Hillel Neur is a force to be reckoned with. And I am so glad the U.S. sanctioned Albanese—that wannabe human rights lawyer of a fraud. I am fluent in Italian and if you think she is bad in English, try listening to her in her native tongue. She is a complete viper.
"...it’s stunning how the rapporteurs express no concern whatsoever for how a demilitarized Israel would be liable to destruction at the hands of Iran or Hezbollah, and of course also be vulnerable to future Hamas massacres."
They express no concern because the destruction of Israel is their one and only goal.
I don't know how many people here have met or debated an "anti-Zionist" but they are crystal clear as to their rationale and ultimate goal: they consider Israel an illegitimate and brutal form of colonialization and think of the history of Israel as a single uninterrupted hate crime and every thread of its history to be lies designed to shield a bloodthirsty imperialist project. They reject the Jewish ties to the land, reject every peace plan Israel has signed on to, will never have even a molecule of sympathy or charity toward all the refugees who flooded into the Jewish state to save their lives. And they have no interest in peace, ceasefire, partition etc—they want Israel gone even if that means Arabs pouring across the borders to kill every Jew they can get their hands on. To the Anti-Zionist Industrial Complex this would be their definition of Justice and it would be the most glorious day of their miserable lives.
This is another reason why this conflict is so difficult to resolve: the average person can't bring themselves to believe that the Palestinians choose death over life, that the strategy of their leadership is to get as many of their own people killed as possible, and the average person can't bring themselves to believe that the UN and many NGOs are committed not to peace but to war in the name of destroying Israel.
But these are both truths that need to be faced. There is no debating or negotiating with the deranged freaks of the Anti-Zionist Industrial Complex, they will have to be shamed and defeated, by hanging their hate and lies around their necks until it rots and they are banished from polite society.
The UN is a Useless dysfunctional impotent, incompetent, biased, Antisemitic organisation run by tyrannies with their cronies who support terrorist organizations.
If the ideas of these U.N. "rapporteurs" are so good (I have another term of endearment for them), perhaps they should first try them in the countries in which they live. I would start with the total demilitarization of their own countries, and in the case of Europe, the removal of the protections offered by membership in NATO. Let's see how that works for them. Until then, why not just shut up, show a little gratitude as you continue taking your welfare payments from my tax money, and let the serious folks take the lead. As I have mentioned before, "Here I stand with my IDF and my Torah. There you stand with your so-called international law and your self-righteous indignation. Which one of us do you think will prevail?"
These people are so stupid, I am at a loss for words. Does any rational or sane person pay attention to them? Unfortunately, many do. This makes me reconsider my opposition to violence. They are really messing up the gene pool and should be smacked down.
Um, okay... what am I missing here? Did not the UN approve the peace plan just last week, including all the "ifs" association with a "pathway" to a Palestinian State? If so, doesn't that make this idiotic group completely moot?
Yes, it was approved by the Security Council. The statement opposing it was issued by a group of Human Rights Special Rapporteurs, who are part of a different organ of the UN. The statement has no legal effect, but it has been used politically to try to undermine the security council plan.
Israel suffered the most heinous, barbaric, and sadistic atrocities against innocent civilians. Israel's response was substantial nonetheless, several thousand Israeli civilians and soldiers died, and billions of dollars were spent. The predictable final result will be a short interregnum followed by the next Palestinian atrocity. It seems to me if Israel's response was such that Palestinian thinking would necessarily shift from "the river to the sea" to we may not survive as a viable people, then perhaps the Palestinians would abandon their war against the Jews.

Thank you, Steve. I think both 'mediation' and 'compromise' are fair translations.
Agree

Why anyone takes the UN seriously is beyond me.

The Muslims in UN wants more war.
Post posters on telephone poles:

Does Mamdani Support Taliban Vice and Virtue Laws?

Does Mamdani support Decades of MUSLIM RAPE of Christian Girls in the U K.

The posters would just get torn down.

The UN is composed of a massive majority of islamic, communist and dictatorship nations, democratic nations are a small minority. Time to defund it.
