Top UN official condemns Israel's insistence that it's a Jewish state

Khalaf’s remarks were delivered in Tunis on Feb. 25th – in the presence of Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki – to launch a new report entitled “Arab Integration: A 21st Century Imperative.”

Although Khalaf’s Beirut-based UN agency is comprised of numerous Arab states that define themselves as Islamic and enshrine Shariah law in their constitution, she said that Israel’s Jewish character “violates the rights of both the Muslim and Christian indigenous populations” — and “revives the concept of state ethnic and religious purity, which caused egregious human suffering during the twentieth century.”

In other words, although the UN recognized Israel as a Jewish state, this fact means that Israelis are Nazis.

Is this the language of peace and tolerance enshrined in the UN charter?

Her report is full of many gems. As Khalaf explains it, if only Arabs had “stood united” and “coordinated their efforts” against Israel — or “at least met their existing commitments to joint defense” — then “Arab rights would not have been trampled”; Jerusalem “would not have suffered under Judaization policies, land confiscation and the expulsion of populations”; and Muslim and Christian holy shrines “would not have been desecrated.”
