According to this official UN history, the only aggression ever mentioned is by Jewish and Zionist groups. There is no mention of Jewish history in the region for thousands of years. No mention of Jewish kingdoms. No mention of the centrality of Eretz Israel and Jerusalem to Judaism. No mention of the Bible.
United with Israel By Elder of Ziyon, The Algemeiner: The UN’s anti-Israel bias is unmistakable, even in this public document that is pretending to be objective. It simply ignores or whitewashes every single act of terrorism by Palestine’s Arabs. It doesn’t mention the murderous Palestinian pogrom against Jews in 1929.
It says, “1936/1939 — Palestinian rebellion against the British Mandate and Jewish immigration.” But not that Arabs murdered Jews, just that it was a “rebellion.” It doesn’t say anything about the Arab League boycott of Jews.
The UN even has a webpage where it shows a timeline on the “Question of Palestine.”It is extremely biased. It starts with “1885 — The term ‘Zionism’ first coined by the Viennese writer, Nathan Birnbaum.”
It doesn’t mention any Arab attacks on Jews in 1947-48. No outbreak of hostilities hours after the UN Partition resolution, no mention of the constant attacks on Jewish civilians, no mention of the Hadassah Hospital convoy massacre, or the many other attacks on Jewish civilians — but it does mention Deir Yassin, and exaggerates the number of dead as “hundreds.”
There were scores of fedayeen attacks by Palestinian Arabs against Israel in the 1950s and 60s. Not one incident is mentioned.
But the UN describes the 1966 As-Samu incident, where Israeli and Jordanian troops battled after a land mine killed three IDF soldiers, as a “massacre” of Palestinians; 15 Jordanian soldiers and three civilians were killed. It was not a massacre by any definition.
There is not one mention of Palestinian airplane hijackings in the 1960s and 1970s.
It says, “1987 — First ‘Intifada’ begins in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp in the Gaza Strip.” It doesn’t mention that the intifada killed hundreds of Israelis. The many terror attacks that occurred during the Oslo process are nowhere to be found.
Similarly, it says, “Ariel Sharon’s al-Haram al-Sharif visit in September 2000 triggers the Second Palestinian Intifada.”Not a word about Palestinian suicide bombings, or bus bombings, or attacks on pizza shops and Passover seders and bar mitzvahs.
And of course no mention later about rockets from Gaza, massacring rabbis, or kidnapping and murdering women and children. Hamas is not mentioned as a terror group — or even militant group. In fact, the word “terror” is nowhere to be seen. Neither is “Islam,” “Muslim” or “Jihad,” although Jews are mentioned.
• Hamas indiscriminately fired over 4,465 rockets5 at Israel’s heartland, including densely populated cities such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and their civilian structures, during Protective Edge. Over 70% of Israeli citizens were in rocket range.
• Even Palestinian officials acknowledged Hamas’ rockets were war crimes. “Each and every missile against Israel constitutes a crime against humanity whether it hits or misses, because it is directed at civilian targets.” –Palestinian Envoy to the Human Rights Council, July 9, 2014.7
• Hamas “made clear in their statements that harming civilians was their aim. There is simply no legal justification for launching rockets at populated areas.” –Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East Director, Human Rights Watch, Nov. 2012.8
• The EU “strongly condemns the indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and militant groups in the Gaza Strip, directly harming civilians. These are criminal and unjustifiable acts.”9 Hamas kidnapped Israelis to use them as hostages, a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions and the International Criminal Court.10
• On June 12, 2014, Hamas operatives kidnapped three Israeli teens as they were returning home from school. Their bodies were found 18 days later.11
• In 2006, Hamas operatives kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit and held him hostage for over five years until he was released in a prisoner exchange in 2011.12
• Hamas built 32 cross-border underground tunnels to infiltrate Israel and kidnap Israelis. Rooms, handcuffs and tranquillizers were prepared for the Israeli victims.13 Hamas used Palestinian civilian centers for military purposes, a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions.14
• Hamas placed its military arsenal and tunnel entrances in Gaza’s schools, homes, residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and mosques,15 as occurred with UNRWA schools, 16 Al-Shifah17 and Al-Wafa hospitals, 18 and Islamic University of Gaza.19
• Hamas booby-trapped thousands of homes and fired 597 rockets from civilian centers, including 260 from schools, 160 from religious sites, 127 from cemeteries, and over 50 from hospitals.20 Hamas used Palestinians as human shields, a war crime according to Article 51(7) of the 1977 Protocols to the Geneva Convention. 21
• Hamas urged Gaza residents to act as human shields. 22
• Hamas urged residents to ignore Israel’s warnings to move to safer areas because of imminent attacks. In some cases, Hamas operatives violently attacked residents who sought safer areas. 23
• “The Israeli army sends warnings to people [Gazans] to evacuate buildings before an attack…Hamas’s strict policy, though, was not to allow us to evacuate…Hamas’s official Al-Quds TV regularly issued warnings to Gazans not to evacuate their homes. Hamas militants would block the exits to the places residents were asked to evacuate.” –Gaza Medical Aid Worker, September, 19 201424 Hamas conducted extrajudicial executions of alleged Palestinian collaborators with Israel.
• Hamas murdered at least 48 suspected collaborators during the 2014 war,25 accusing them of being spies and executing them publicly, without trial. Hamas has dragged the executed bodies of past suspected collaborators through the streets of Gaza as a warning to others.26 Hamas enlisted children to participate in hostilities, a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions and the International Criminal Court.27
• Hamas admitted to using child labor to construct cross-border tunnels. According to Hamas officials, at least 160 children were killed while building the terror tunnels.
Just 6 months ago, Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza celebrated the deadly Jerusalem synagogue attack that killed seven Israeli Jews. The Palestinians hailed the attack as heroic and revenge for Jenin raid that killed at least 10 Palestinian terrorists, as identitfied by Hamas, who had kill Israeli civilians.
The Holocaust is not mentioned either. There is simply no information on why Jews might want to have their own homeland in the region.There is plenty of other anti-Israel bias in wording and choice of incidents.
StandWithUs Arab and Palestinian leaders caused the long-term displacement and suffering of Palestinian refugees.
-
Arab states refused to absorb the refugees, give them citizenship (except for Jordan), or grant them equal rights and opportunities. Instead, they used Palestinians as pawns in their continuing war against Israel.
-
Israel has no Palestinian refugees. It offered Arabs in its territory citizenship and 160,000 accepted. They became Israeli citizens with equal rights.
The UN perpetuates this crisis through its Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA)
-
UNRWA allows Palestinians to pass refugee status to their descendants endlessly, inflating their numbers.
-
If the international criteria used for all other refugees were applied, there would be far fewer Palestinian refugees today.
More Jews than Palestinians became refugees as a result of the 1948 War.
-
Almost 10,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed from the areas of the Palestine Mandate where Arab forces prevailed.
-
After the war, over 850,000 Jews fled rising persecution or were forcibly expelled from Arab and Muslim lands. Most were resettled in Israel, where they became the majority of the country’s Jewish population.
It’s been seven decades since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, and yet there are still an estimated 4 million Palestinian refugees…and zero Jewish refugees. With so many nearby Arab allies of the Palestinians, how did this happen? What does it say about Israel? What does it say about its Arab neighbors? Dumisani Washington, Diversity Outreach Coordinator for Christians United for Israel, explains.
BLR says
jews need to go over there take a detail of head choppers and convert them like mohamed did to them that should silence them yapping dogs
BareNakedIslam says
I can’t understand why Israel doesn’t leave the UN. They get no benefit from membership and get nothing but ridicule and more resolutions against it than all the human rights abusers combined.
BLR says
me neither ! I been waiting since the cuban crisis to see what it is they do beside drumming up sanctions against the only Republic in the middle east Israel who are much more than a common democracy run by tyrants
BareNakedIslam says
People always complain about all the military financial aid we give Israel, but never mention the fact that Israel is required to spend it all with American manufacturers which they do. Not to mention all the invaluable intel they give us which we never otherwise could get about that area of the world.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Ignore them.
JS John says
The UN needs to be completely defunded by the U.S. I look forward to the next president to do just that. They are criminals and have been for too many years. Let those who stay there fund them. It should be DEMANDED of our next president by the people to defund them AND expel all of Islam.
The world watches this and are aware of it yet they better watch themselves because they are next and it’s already happening to them. They turn their heads because they’re Jews, but it’s Jews right now and in the west they are attacking Christians too. So, to any European country or country that sides with the satanic cult of Islam – I hope your armies are ready. Because you’re NEXT.
Islam has no right to be in Israel or any Western nation. None. And that goes for our universities too. They need to be expelled. If they bow down and worship their book of hate and follow that rapist, murderous Mohammed, then get the f out of our nations. We all hate and despise them, except for a few psychopaths that want to join them.
The Tasmanian Devil says
The UN has become little more than CAIR on steroids.
It is a malignant group of Muslim nations, mostly Afrocan, all of which despise the West. And of course, harbor an inbred requisite hatred of Jews and Israel.
Comedian Jackie Mason said it so beautifully and eloquently…

Yes, but the thing is if the blacks and African knew and know how Islam thinks of them and how they’ve been enslaving them for 1430 years; how they discriminate against then and despise the black man, they might think differently. They need to learn the truth, and the black people need to fight them and take their African nation states back from Islam.
