UN Launches $65M Legal Pogrom to Hunt Down Israelis and Smear Israel as Criminal State
2017-11-01
[PJMedia] The United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
has made a deal with the Paleostinians to fund a $65 million legal pogrom directed at Israel. The party on the Paleostinian side was referred to as the "Government of the State of Paleostine."

More specifically, the "United Nations System in the occupied Paleostinian territory" plans to pay eight UN bodies $64,838,510 between the years of 2018 and 2022 to hunt down individual Israelis and to smear Israel as a criminal state.

The eight UN bodies or agencies to receive the funds are:

1. Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
2. UNICEF (the children's fund)
3. The UN Development Program
4. UN Women
5. UNESCO
6. UN Habitat
7. The World Health Organization
8. UNRWA (the Paleostinian refugee agency)

Except for UNESCO, which the United States no longer supports, 22% of the money will come from American taxpayers.

The deal, first signed and disseminated in Arabic on June 15, 2017, is part of the "UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the occupied Paleostinian territory for 2018-2022."

Lawfare at the UN in Israel's case goes by the stage name of "accountability." It includes accusing Israel of war crimes, apartheid, and crimes against humanity; sending spurious cases to the International Criminal Court; engaging in boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaigns to destroy the economic well-being of Israel; and making false accusations of violations of fabricated "international law" -- in particular criminalizing Israel's right of self-defense. The goal is unambiguous: the demonization and destruction of the Jewish state.

#5  No, I apologize TW, this was something from long ago, and I tend to stay up late sometimes, and of course this is Colorado.

#4  So the US should drop its funding for the U.N. by at least $65 million. Preferably a lot more.

#3  ...the proper conditions for a "state" don't exist.

I strongly agree, Fairbanks, though I must apologise for my poor memory -- I don't recall how Professor Dever is related.

#1  The party on the Paleostinian side was referred to as the "Government of the State of Paleostine."

TW, we've discussed this before, where William Dever (Ret., U of A), whose comments with regard to "state" status for palestinians - belong to one centralized authority, but what with Hamas, Al Fatah, and a dozen other players who are even more manifest in their hatred of each other, the proper conditions for a "state" don't exist. Dever was talking about Iron Age I.
