This year’s United Nations General Assembly meeting has witnessed the largest attendance of shlemiels (Yiddish for fools) ever recorded.

If ever any proof was needed that the UN has outlived its usefulness and is living on borrowed time this latest circus performance provided ample examples.

Malicious Monsieur Macron and his supporting cast of accompanying acolytes provided a non stop performance, demonstrating excruciating and painfully pathetic prattle.

It was always going to be a hate Israel fest and so it has turned out.

As an added bonus it was deliberately timed for Rosh Hashanah. The UN once again ignored Jewish Holy Days which is par for the course these days.

The assembled delegations applauded as each country’s representative breathlessly announced recognition of a fake “Palestine”. Macron, acting as the ringmaster, made thumbs up gestures and in some instances embraced the speaker. The session descended into a choreographed cacophony of denunciations against Israel and a mass denial of reality.

A commentator on SKY Australia made a very pertinent observation.

He remarked that each and every speech seemed to have been produced by artificial intelligence with slight variations. Without exception the same well worn and fallacious assertions tumbled forth from the mouths of the speakers.

According to their warped wisdom the United Nations remained humanity’s sole hope.

History was shamelessly rewritten.

Ignored was the plain fact that the Arab representatives of Mandated Palestine had rejected any offer of statehood in 1947 and that their Arab and Islamic allies vowed to destroy Israel instead. Successive attempts to wipe out Jewish sovereignty never featured in any speech. Instead, each and every address to the assembled delegates emphasized a perceived injustice meted out to the supporters of terror.

Nobody mentioned the perfidious British decision to hack off half of the Mandate set aside for Jewish settlement and its gift of statehood to its Hashemite friends. Unsaid, because it is politically incorrect, is the reality that today this artificial creation is 75% or more “Palestinian.”

Listening to the pontificating UK Foreign Secretary one could be under the impression that none of this actually happened and that Britain was still the mandatory power. Her unctuous utterances rewriting historical events while censuring Israel were painfully pathetic. It might play well with an increasingly militant jihadist constituency back in the UK but it certainly will not advance her objectives one bit.

Albanese of Australia performed on cue and earned the applause of the assembled lemmings.

The Spanish Prime Minister, who had previously lamented the fact that his country does not have a nuclear bomb to compel Israel to submit, proved that past history can repeat itself. The country which gave us the Inquisition and expelled all Jews, today is a leading proponent of excluding, banning and boycotting the Jewish State.

The Irish did not disappoint and demonstrated yet again how their country has become one of the leaders in anti Israel activities.

The Russian Foreign Minister accused Israel of wanting to “blow up” the Middle East.  This insane assertion coming from a country which is blowing up Ukraine on a daily basis highlights the farcical depths to which the UN has descended these days.

A few gallant nations refused to join the herd as the haters exited the hall when Israel’s PM came to the podium.

Surprisingly, New Zealand’s Foreign Minister injected a note of sanity by announcing that current conditions are not conducive to Palestinian recognition. In an effort to look even handed he, of course, had to condemn Israel for the usual litany of fake “crimes”.

President Trump had no qualms in exposing the corrupt and irredeemable state of the UN and as expected this elicited an outpouring of scorn from the usual quarters.

Fake claims and historically warped mistruths abounded. A common theme is the portrayal of PA president for life, Abbas, as the poster boy for a reformed, democratic and enlightened “Palestine.” His acrobatic contortions over the years win him first prize for cynical hypocrisy. His video address to the General Assembly followed a familiar pattern.

Promises to reform, democratize, hold free and fair elections, condemn terror and live in peace with Israel tripped off his tongue. The problem is that these self same promises have been made many times in the past. He knows that they will be believed by the assembled shlemiels and used against Israel. The fact that they will never be implemented is irrelevant.

As usual Abbas accused Israel of every sin and crime. If you read his speech carefully you will discover that the real PA agenda is the eventual dissolution of Israel and a takeover of Jerusalem. Of course the useful idiots hailing this resurrected saviour prefer to ignore the ultimate objective.

Having failed to destroy Jewish sovereignty by terror and war the PA and its proxies now aim to achieve the same result via diplomatic terror tactics. With the abject surrender of democracies to jihadist threats and a majority of UN members being compliant and willing accomplices, this strategy is up and running.

Those advocating for “Palestine” to be established in the heartland of Israel need to take a reality check.  What does that really entail? Hamas is supposed to be defanged and have no role in any future governance. The chances of this happening are close to zero. In any fair and free election, Hamas would be the winner. If they are banned, terror will ensue.

Here are just two examples of what to expect if a two State solution is ever implemented.

In an official Hamas response to recognition of a “Palestinian” State they stated:

“This is an important step in confirming the rights of our people to their land and holy sites and to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. This is a gesture to the struggle, steadfastness and sacrifices of our people on the path to liberation and return. Additional steps need to be taken to lead to an immediate end to the war and annexation and Judaization plans in the West Bank and Jerusalem as well as to isolate Israel and to bring Israeli leaders to international courts.”  

Does this sound as though Hamas is about to surrender authority and disarm?

What about the internationally anointed PA doves of peace who are touted as potential partners living in tolerance alongside Israel?

Here is their vision for how a two state solution is envisaged.

Recently US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ambassador Mike Huckabee visited the Kotel together with PM Netanyahu.

The PA was incensed by this visit and published a condemnation against what they called “a crime against Islamic holy places.” They continued:

“The participation in these invasions by high ranking American officials in an official capacity constitutes unacceptable collusion with the occupation’s policy and dangerous willful blindness to the daily crimes committed against the holy city, its residents and its holy places.” 

In case the message was not clear enough the PA went on to declare:

“We view the invasion of these officials and the fact that they held Talmudic ceremonies at this purely Islamic site, as a provocative step that offends the feelings of our Palestinian people and constitutes a blatant violation of the historical and legal status quo in the occupied city of Jerusalem. The Western Wall is an inseparable part of the blessed Al Aqsa Mosque and it is part of the Islamic Waqf lands under Palestinian sovereignty. There is no legitimacy for any Israeli or foreign presence within it without the approval of the relevant Palestinian authorities.” 

Even the most dimwitted politician should realize what a “Palestinian” state with Jerusalem as its capital would mean. Giving control of the Kotel and the Mount of Olives cemetery to “Palestine” means Jews would be once again banned from worshipping and burial at two of the oldest holy sites. It inevitably means the destruction again of Synagogues in the Old City, expulsion of Jews and terrorists within a stones’ throw of downtown Jerusalem. Just as the UN ignored this under Jordanian illegal occupation until 1967 so they would do so again.

No amount of made up and fictitious history can hide the fact that Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, predated any sort of Islamic presence.

Advocates of a “two state solution” are wittingly endorsing the elimination of a Jewish sovereign presence from the river to the sea.

The shlemiels can keep burbling their nonsense at the UN to their hearts’ content.

As history has proven, the Jewish People will endure long after the deniers, haters and delegitimizers have vanished from the scene.
