Israel Matzav

My previous statement is inoperative

Last week, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon made a long overdue admission. He admitted that the United Nations is biased against Israel.

“Unfortunately, because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel has been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias and sometimes even discrimination,” UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon admitted during his visit to Jerusalem, according to the European Jewish Press (EJP).

Addressing students participating in the Rishon Lezion College of Management’s Model UN program at the UN headquarters in Jerusalem, Ban said Israel should be treated equal to all the other 192 UN member states.

The comments came in response to complaints by the students that Israel receives more criticism than any other member country in the world body.

On Monday, he took it back. 

At a press "encounter" at the UN Headquarters in New York on Monday, a reporter for Israel Radio pressed Ban about his comments last Friday while meeting with students at the UN headquarters in Jerusalem. 

Ban simply said, "I don't think there is discrimination against Israel at the United Nations."

He continued, "The Israeli government maybe raised this issue that there's some bias against Israel, but Israel is one of the 193 member states. Thus, Israel should have equal rights and opportunities without having any bias, any discrimination. That's a fundamental principle of the United Nations charter. And thus, Israel should be fully given such rights."

Really? What other country has a permanent agenda item at the 'human rights council'? Not Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Sudan, etc. Only Israel. How many resolutions at the 'human rights council' deal with Israel every year and how many deal with other countries?

How many resolutions in the Security Council deal with Israel every year and how many deal with other countries?

How many resolutions in the General Assembly deal with Israel every year and how many deal with other countries?

That very disproportion tells you all you need to know. Yes, the United Nations is biased against Israel.

So was Ban high on drugs when he said there was no bias or when he said there is bias? Idiot.
