Truth vs. Lies at the UN

Israel's UN ambassador Ron Prosor, at a UN debate on the ME and the Palestinian situation, said, From 1948 until 1967, the West Bank was part of Jordan; Gaza was part of Egypt. The Arab world did not lift a finger to create a Palestinian state, and it sought Israel's annihilation when not a single settlement stood anywhere in the West Bank or Gaza.

He rebuked PA Chairman Abbas for not mentioning Judaism when he told the UN last September, I come before you today from the Holy Land, the land of Palestine, the land of divine messages, the ascension of the Prophet Muhammad… and the birthplace of Jesus Christ…

Prosor: He denied 4,000 years of Jewish history… It was not an oversight. The Palestinian leadership attempts to erase the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. ("Israel's UN Ambassador Separates Lies from Truth," Arutz 7, 25 Oct. 2011)

Weeks later, a barrage of rockets and mortars fired by Gaza terrorists fell on southern Israel. Prosor asked the UN's Security Council [SC] why they were not 'shocked' at this overt attack on Israeli civilians. Mercifully, only one person was killed, and 16 wounded, yet, The pain caused by these attacks is permanent. Scars are both physical and psychological… One million Israelis were compelled to stay home from work… 200,000 children were kept home from school… Yet not a single word of condemnation has been uttered by this Council… The silence speaks volumes.

Late in 2011, on the anniversary of the UN's 1947 recognition of the State of Israel, which now is observed at the UN as The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and in the face of a tidal wave of pro-PA speeches, Prosor declared, UN Resolution 181 [in 1947] mentions the Jewish state no less than 25 times, but for 64 years the Palestinian leaders have not dared to use the term even once.
