Durban 2


I touched on this subject a short time ago about an article I'd read concerning the U.N.s funding and organizing what could only be called " an Anti-American , Israeli pep rally ". Headed by the U.N.s Human Rights Committee " all Arab states " , the conference will focus on Israels human rights violations and Americas sponsoring it . I can agree to some extent that the State of Israel seems like an apartheid state than a modern model of democracy . However just like anything else you have to read the fine print . It's true that America supports Israel , but America did not create it as some in the Islamic world would like to believe . Before there was such a thing as the State of Israel that particular stretch of dessert was known as Palestine . Since before WW2 until 1947 Palestine was under the control of the British . Before that this particular region had no central government , or any other political entity . Then in 1947 the U.N. gives Palestine or to the Jewish people . When it came down to voting on the creation of a Jewish state it's true America did vote for it , that can not be denied . Again however the United States was not the only country voting for it . This is what has always confused me about the Arabs shortsightedness in blaming America for the creation of this state . And just exactly what did the U.N. create ? A region where war , refuge camps and privation are the norm . A place where suicide bombers kill school children , and attack copters destroy apartment buildings . A place where terror and uncertainty are a constant ......this is the proud achievement of the United Nations .
