UN Fails to Learn Lessons of Holocaust


(Fox News) Anne Bayefsky - On January 25, 2016, a temporary exhibit called "Holocaust by Bullets" was opened in the UN visitors' lobby. The painstaking research of the French organization Yahad-In Unum substantiates how two million Jews were shot to death in the presence of normal folks all over Europe. Father Patrick Desbois opened Yahad-In Unum's exhibit by explaining that his team locates the bodies of Nazi victims and then honors the dead. The next day, the Security Council held a debate on "The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question." The hate speech against the Jewish state flowed uninterrupted for seven hours and was broadcast around the world. Israel was said to be guilty of "crimes against humanity," "execution" of children, "apartheid," "racism," "brutality," "terrorism," "war crimes," "assassinations," "torture of children," and "Judaization" - the allegedly vile presence of Jews on Arab-claimed territory. So picture this. Upstairs, Council members listened unperturbed to repeated rants about "Judaization." Downstairs, the Holocaust exhibit recounted how ordinary people did nothing while their neighbors were rounded up with cries of "Juden, Juden, Juden." The writer is director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust.
