Israel at 75: Condemning the Jewish State appears to be a major pursuit for the United Nations General Assembly
Last year the UN adopted 15 resolutions targeting Israel
There was nothing in the resolution about the intentions of Hamas or Islamic Jihad or the Palestinian Authority with respect to the “demographic composition” of the Holy Land, which are fair to describe as not exactly favourable to Jews. Then there’s the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. UNESCO made a cruel joke of itself without any Israeli help in 2016 when the agency adopted a resolution that gave the impression of erasing Jewish associations with Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, the holiest place in Judaism, recognizing only its sanctity in Islam.
The UN agency with the key mandate in the Israeli-Palestinian imbroglio is the United Nations Relief Works Agency , established in the bloody aftermath of Israel’s war of independence and the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948 and 1949. UNRWA was initially charged with the relief of perhaps 850,000 Palestinians displaced in the fighting. Roughly the same number of Jews were driven out of Arab countries around the same time.
