U.N. Sponsors Palestinian Hate

Dear Friends,

Just when you think you've seen everything..

The United Nations is now sponsoring official Palestinian propaganda. I suggest you check out the following U.N. sponsored website, which is supposed to give one access to U.N. resolutions on Palestine. What it does, though, is rewrite history. A following except:

"After looking at various alternatives, the UN proposed the partitioning of Palestine into two independent States, one Palestinian Arab and the other Jewish, with Jerusalem internationalized (Resolution 181 (II) of 1947). One of the two States envisaged in the partition plan proclaimed its independence as Israel and in the 1948 war expanded to occupy 77 per cent of the territory of Palestine. Israel also occupied the larger part of Jerusalem. Over half the indigenous Palestinian population fled or were expelled. Jordan and Egypt occupied the other parts of the territory assigned by the partition resolution to the Palestinian Arab State which did not come into being. In the 1967 war, Israel occupied the remaining territory of Palestine, until then under Jordanian.."

You get the picture?

No mention that the Arabs rejected the U.N. partition plan and attacked the newly formed Jewish State. No mention of who started the Six Day War.As for Jerusalem, I recall Jordan taking over the Old City, killing the Jews in the Jewish Quarter, refusing Jews access to their holy places.

I believe the Palestinians are entitled to rewrite history for the ignorant and the gullible. But when the U.N. uses its funding and its reputation to support a such a hate campaign against one of its members, the time has come to protest.

It's a disgrace. Please check it out for yourselves, and alert your Senators and Congressmen to this blatant misuse of U.N. funding. If the U.N. is no longer an impartial body dedicated to the resolution of world conflict and is becoming an advocate of hate campaigns and disinformation, we need to rethink all U.S. funding.
