UN INSANITY…RUN BY THUGS AND CROOKS WHO DEMONIZE ISRAEL: VICTOR SHARPE
United Nations Insanity: It’s still a Mad, Mad World
Victor Sharpe
“Our faith was born there, as was our language, our nationhood, our pride. It is incumbent upon us to defend —— even if we all die.â€
If you read those words, you would be forgiven for believing they were uttered as a declaration of eternal Jewish love and support for Jerusalem and Zion. You would be wrong. Fill in the blank and you will discover that they were uttered by Serbian Deputy Prime Minister, Draskovitch, some twelve years ago while referring to Kosovo.
The Serbs lost their ancestral heartland of Kosovo to the Muslim Turks a little over 600 years ago at the Battle of the Field of Blackbirds. Serbs never stop dreaming of lost Kosovo; it is now part of their national yearning for its eventual return, though the present occupation of Kosovo by the Albanian Muslims casts a giant shadow over any hope for its redemption. Still it is the hoped for return that unites most Serbs just as Jerusalem’s reunification and restoration to the Jewish people unites most Jews.
Six hundred years is a long time for a people to weep over its still lost heartland. Jews themselves wept over the loss of their Jerusalem for a far, far longer period – almost 1,800 years during the long exile before Jerusalem’s liberation from alien occupation in that momentous and miraculous summer of 1967.
Draskovitch was reflecting upon the unbearable pressure the U.S. Clinton Administration, through NATO, exerted upon the Serbian people even to the extent of a high level bombing campaign, which destroyed all the bridges in Belgrade and took the lives of hundreds of Serbian civilians.
According to an article written by Elyakim Haetzni for Arutz Sheva Israel National Radio, a reporter asked Draskovitch if he “did not want his country to become a part of the West and to share in its wealth?†The Deputy Prime Minister replied: “Not if the price is Kosovo.â€
Like Israel today, the Serbs were the target of a hostile media. Muslim atrocities against the Christian Serbs were played down almost to exclusion while Serbian massacres of Muslims were banner headlines. As far as the media was concerned, the Serbs were: “Guilty until proven guilty.†That is how Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu recently described much of the international media’s present day attitude towards Israel’s attempt at self-defense in the face of a premeditated campaign of anti-Israel demonization and de-legitimization.
John Cleese, the wonderfully funny British comedian who was part of the earlier Monty Python Flying Circus and who played the part of the memorable manic proprietor of the British seaside hotel, Fawlty Towers, said on a recent You Tube video that, “now that I am sixty six years old, I can see that the world is completely mad.â€
The current occupant of the White House, Barack Hussein Obama, acting as the chief appeaser during this century’s first decade, speaks loudly about foreign tyrants but pounds his desk with a feather when it comes to reining in the aggressive ambitions of Iran and North Korea.
In that Temple to Hypocrisy, the United Nations, the U.N. Human Rights Council, whose members include all the most barbaric and repressive rogue regimes one can imagine, spend their time ignoring their own human rights abuses and target only one tiny nation: Israel. Dozens of breathtakingly biased resolutions have been cast against the Jewish state without once ever referring to the appalling history of Palestinian Arab terror that Israel has, and is, forced to endure.
The mad world denies human rights to the Tibetans whose land has been swallowed up by the Communist Chinese. It denies human rights and self- determination to the Kurdish people who endure great hardship at the hands of Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq. It denies justice to the Greek Cypriots whose island is 33% occupied in the north by Turkey.
And where is the meaningful UN intervention in the Sudan in which the Arab Muslim north has already slaughtered millions of black Christians, Muslims and animists? Yet all the time, a massive flow of US and European Union tax payer money is poured down a veritable black hole in the deluded hope that it will bring freedom and democracy into Arab-Muslim lands.
Billions of dollars have already been syphoned off into hidden tax havens, be they by despotic and corrupt leaders in the Palestinian Territories, in Iraq, Afghanistan, or throughout the Middle East and south Asia.
According to Matthew Rosenberg, writing in the June 28, 2010 edition of the Wall Street Journal, “more than $3 billion in cash has openly been flown out of Kabul International Airport in the past three years. Most of the funds are being moved by often secretive outfits called ‘hawalas’ money transfers with roots in the Muslim world stretching back centuries.â€
But in this mad world, western politicians and leaders are seemingly devoid of understanding the simple fact that Islam will not ever truly embrace democracy for Islam means submission to the will of Allah, not as democracy teaches; submission to the will of the people.
Seeing the West in its present day descent towards a new dark gulf, I am reminded of Winston Churchill’s lament of Britain’s similar descent in the 1930s.
Replace his mention of the British nation six months before Munich with that of America today and his words ring uncannily true for all of us as we endure the trillions of dollars of debt piled on by President Obama and the Democrat party while witnessing the rising peril of Islamic triumphalism.
He said: “I have watched this famous island descending incontinently, fecklessly, down the path which leads to a dark gulf. It is a fine broad stairway at the beginning, but after a bit the carpet ends.
“A little farther on there are only flagstones, and a little farther on still these break beneath your feet … if mortal catastrophe should overtake the British nation, historians a thousand years hence will still be baffled by the mystery of our affairs.
“They will never understand how it was that a victorious nation, with everything in hand, suffered itself to be brought low, and to cast away all that had been gained by measureless sacrifice and absolute victory – gone with the wind!â€
