ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA ZOA Urges Public Condemnation & Campaign Against New UN Declaration of War on Israel By Victor Rosenthal (DECEMBER 26, 2021 / ABU YEHUDA) The so-called “United Nations” has reached a new low in its descent from an idealistic organization dedicated to humanizing the behavior of nations, into a massive scam operation whose only consistent objective, aside from the enrichment of its employees, is the destruction of the Jewish state. In an email sent on 24 December, longtime UN watchdog Anne Bayefsky wrote, Two and a half hours ago the UN General Assembly’s budget committee (a committee of the whole, i.e. composed of all 193 member states) decided to fund a new “Commission of Inquiry” established by the UN Human Rights Council that is intended to emasculate the state of Israel. Without exaggeration, it is the most hostile and dangerous anti-Israel body the UN has ever created. It will decide Israel is guilty of apartheid, validate and unleash criminal prosecutions of Israelis, significantly magnify pressure on “third states” and “business enterprises” to engage in BDS, and insist on an arms embargo against Israel. It is permanent in duration. It will have 18 permanent UN staff funded by the regular budget – which means 22% of it will come from American taxpayers, create an in-house legal bureau to seek criminal charges against members of the IDF and the highest echelons of the Israeli government (“command responsibility”). The three members of the “Inquiry” have been appointed – and all have public records of extreme anti-Israel animus. Notorious supporter of Durban and the Goldstone report – former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay – is the Chair. The first report of the “Inquiry” is due in June 2022. The commission will “investigate” Israel’s actions during the May 2021 war with Hamas. This 11-day warlet was initiated by Hamas, which fired some 4,260 rockets at Israeli towns and cities, as well as provoking anti-Jewish riots in cities with mixed Arab and Jewish populations. Israel’s response, as always, was primarily defensive, and also as always, undertook to keep damage to civilians and their property to a minimum. But like the tendentious and ultimately discredited Goldstone Report on the 2008-2009 Gaza war, this commission will certainly rely on “findings” generated by anti-Israel NGOs based on “data” provided by organs of Hamas, and will determine that Israel acted from motives of racism with genocidal intent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one of the primary motivations of Hamas for provoking conflict with Israel is to be able to generate material that can be used to attack Israel in international political and legal forums. The intent is to cause the nations of the world to treat Israel as it did apartheid South Africa, with boycotts, divestment, and sanctions, as well as to initiate criminal proceedings against Israeli leaders and military officers. In addition to the direct economic damage that could be done by this program, the propaganda effect would be to deter even friendly nations from supporting Israel in the event she is attacked by her enemies.
