UN Abdicates Role of Middle East Peacemaker by Backing Terrorists
(Fox News) Amb. Danny Danon - When it comes to Israel, the UN isn't interested in easing tensions on Israel's borders as much as it is in rewarding terrorism and demonizing the Jewish state - for standing up for itself. For defending its people in a war on seven fronts, orchestrated by the Islamic Republic of Iran, a Shiite supremacist empire hellbent on achieving regional dominance, not diplomacy. Tehran's proxies - Hizbullah in the north, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, and terrorist cells in Judea and Samaria are Tehran's attack dogs, unleashed to sow death and chaos. The Palestinian resolution approved by the General Assembly last week, calling for sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel, was designed to sabotage real peace efforts by shifting attention away from condemning Hamas for triggering this 11-month war. Rather than focusing on condemning Hamas for perpetrating the single greatest massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust, the UN circus once again adhered to a predictable, virulently anti-Israel script. The writer is Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN.
