In case anyone still wonders why I call the United Nations Useless and Neutered, please take a look at the following statistics compiled by UN Watch (unwatch.org):
- UN Human Rights Council: From its creation in June 2006 through June 2016, the UN Human Rights Council over one decade adopted 135 resolutions criticizing countries; 68 out of those 135 resolutions have been against Israel (more than 50%).
- UN Nations General Assembly: From 2012 through 2015, the United Nations General Assembly has adopted 97 resolutions criticizing countries; 83 out of those 97 have been against Israel (86%).
- UNESCO: Each year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)adopts around 10 resolutions a year criticizing only Israel. UNESCO does not criticize any other UN member state in a country-specific resolution (100%). An exception occurred in 2013, when, under pressure from UN Watch, UNESCO adopted one resolution on Syria.
- World Health Organization: For one week every year, the UN World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), meets to formulate global health policy. Resolutions are adopted to address global health issues. There is one exception: the annual resolution entitled “Health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan,” which singles out Israel for condemnation; no other country in the world is condemned by the WHO.
- ILO: The International Labour Organization (ILO) was established to improve conditions of labor, regulate work hours, fight unemployment, assure adequate living wages, and protect workers worldwide. At its annual conference, however, the ILO produces a single country-specific report castigating Israel.
Did you read those statistics? Good.
Now I will ask you to do a little thinking.
-Think about the mass murders and genocides around the world, in places like Syria. Libya and Rwanda.
-Think about the lack of freedom in places like Iran, Yemen, etc.
-Think of the fact that 10% of the entire population of Mexico has fled the country to come to the United States, whether legally or illegally – because it is preferable to living in their homeland.
-Then think about the fact – and it is one – that Israel provides its Arab population (approaching 20%) rights and privileges unknown to Arabs in every Arab country.
-And finally, think about what the statistics you just read tell you regarding what the UN spends its time doing.
Y’know what? Forget my description of the UN as Useless and Neutered. It is far too complimentary.
