 |
Only two weeks after the UN hosted a conference at its New York Headquarters prominently displaying a map without the state of Israel, a UN conference in Caracas, Venezuela has featured a direct call for the end of the Jewish state. The call, made by an NGO invited to be the first speaker at the first plenary session, was specifically highlighted in the opening sentence of the UN Press Release issued from the conference.
The UN Department of Public Information leads their December 14, 2005 press release, with: "a two-State solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was no longer viable."

The two-day "United Nations Latin American and Caribbean Meeting on the Question of Palestine," convened by the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, was attended by representatives of 27 Governments, 3 United Nations agencies, 10 non-governmental organizations, 25 representatives of the media, and 16 experts. It was held at the Hilton Hotel, courtesy of the UN regular budget.
Another UN-invited "expert panelist" whose contribution was recorded and disseminated in a UN press release had this to say. Tilda Rabi, Arab Movement for Human Rights, Buenos Aires: "The excessive brandishing of the Holocaust was acceptable for them [Jews] but not for others. What about the Palestinian diaspora?"
The Unfinished Business: General Assembly resolution 3376 (XXX) of November 10, 1975 and the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
The Caracas, Venezuela conference was organized by the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. This Committee was created on the very same day as the UN General Assembly adopted the infamous resolution 3379 (XXX) of November 10, 1975 which said Zionism is racism. While Resolution 3379 was rescinded, Resolution 3376 creating the Committee dedicated to propagating this message, was not.

The UN's anti-Israel machinery
Over the years the UN has created five specific bodies or programs dedicated to laying political siege to the state of Israel:
- the 1968 UN "Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories"
- the 1975 UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
- the 1977 UN Division (Unit) on Palestinian Rights
- the 1977 UN "Information Activities on the Question of Palestine," within the UN Department of Public Information
- the 1993 UN "Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967."

The UN-NGO Connection: Anti-semitism gets a global handshake
The annual UN General Assembly resolution on the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People calls for vigorous outreach and support to non-governmental organizations by the Committee.
Here are some of the UN-NGO links the Committee has forged, as listed specifically on the UN website (UNISPAL) at "The Question of Palestine: NGO Database"
- "Palestinians for Peace and Democracy" and a link from the UN site to this NGO. There we find references to the Star of David as a symbol of "hate and evil...I couldn't imagine a more hateful sign" and "Israel's Nazi-like savagery."
