ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE ARE NOT MATTERS TO POKE FUN AT

Yesterday I posted a satirical speech that was written by Greg Felton. It appeared to be a speech delivered by the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon. I thought ( and hoped ) that the speech was for real, but in reality I fell for an April Fool’s joke in May. Ethnic cleansing and genocide are not matters to poke fun at.

There were, however, some valid points in the mock speech that I wish to address here today….. points that make the status of Israel as a member of the United Nations look like an April Fool’s joke as well…. but unfortunately at the expense of the entire Palestinian population.

The points are covered here: United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 requires that Israel compensate Arabs for all property destroyed or confiscated by Israel. Israel’s membership in the United Nations as set forth in UN General Assembly Resolution 273 specifically requires Israel to comply with Resolution 194.

Sixty years after its admission to the World Body, all of the above resolutions have been violated or ignored, yet Israel remains a member in good standing of the United Nations. Nearly 300 resolutions have been passed by the Security Council and the General Assembly affecting Israel and Israel’s response has been to turn its back on them all. You can read about this in detail in THIS Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.

No other member nation has acted with such arrogance. How and why is it that Israel is able to get away with this? How and why have the other member nations tolerated this type of behaviour for sixty years?

Therefore, in light of the obvious destruction/confiscation of Arab homes without compensation, Israel is in violation of the terms by which it became a member of the United Nations. Israel’s membership in the United Nations is therefore null and void. This final statement is not meant to be an April Fool’s joke, it is, unfortunately. very real and MUST be acted upon by the World Body. Palestine must be admitted to the the United Nations as a full member, and must be protected against further destruction. Zionism must not be allowed to continue with its programmatic ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people. Recent events in Gaza showed the world the brutality of the zionist regime…. they must be stopped NOW!
