Both UN and USA Senate's Nakba meetings destroy chances for peace
The United Nations General Assembly will be holding an event on Monday marking what it calls the "Nakba," Arabic for "catastrophe," and the Palestinian term for the establishment of the state of Israel. Ahead of the event, the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, sent a personal letter to all UN ambassadors calling on them to boycott the anti-Israel event.That's exactly why the UN is so outdated, Next, over in the USA, just after the Republican speaker of the lower house in Congress blocked a meeting Rashida Tlaib was holding for the same purposes, the awful Bernie Sanders decided to give her space in the Senate to run the propaganda:
"On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel declared its establishment in line with the United Nations’ 1947 Partition Plan. The Arab states, including the Palestinians who lived in Israel, rejected the Partition Plan, and immediately following Israel’s declaration of independence, five Arab armies invaded Israel in order to obliterate the nascent state," the letter opened, adding: "75 years later, on Monday, May 15, the United Nations will commemorate the momentous occasion of Israel’s independence, not by celebrating Israel and its accomplishments, but rather by holding a special event in the General Assembly branding Israel’s establishment as the Nakba – the catastrophe in Arabic."
The letter continues by expressing disgust with the event: "The thought that an international organization could mark the establishment of one of its member states as a catastrophe or disaster is both appalling and repulsive. This event is a blatant attempt to distort history, neglecting the fact that those who paint themselves as the victims were actually the aggressors who initiated a five-front war on the newly established State of Israel. This horrifying falsification must not be condoned in any way, shape, or form."
US Sen. Bernie Sanders (Independent-Vermont) on Wednesday salvaged an event planned by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) that called Israel’s establishment a “catastrophe.”Needless to say, Sanders has really plumbed the depths here, but the Democrat party themselves are so low today, chances are even Schumer wouldn't have done much of anything to prevent this, seeing as he actually stands for Tlaib remaining in the party. The embarrassments and atrocities sadly continue when it comes to anti-Israeli propaganda.
US Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy had blocked Tlaib from holding the event at the US Capitol Visitor Center.
The event, which took place on a day in which Palestinian terrorists shot 500 rockets at Israeli civilians, was organized in partnership with organizations that glorify terrorism against Israel and proliferate antisemitic messaging. It was first reported in The Jerusalem Post this week.
However, Sanders let her hold the event in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing room, which he chairs and where McCarthy does not have the authority to block an event. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) also does not have the jurisdiction to stop chairmen from hosting meetings in their committee rooms.
