So is the U.N. It has just had the outright temerity to brand the Israeli settlements on the West Bank illegal. This despite the fact that Donald Trump yesterday had a quiet word with the Egyptian ambassador to the U.N and suggested they withdraw their motion, promising he would have a look at the situation once he was installed. Fat chance. Donnie is a big pal of Israel and thinks the Palestinians are a bunch of Terrorists just waiting to push all the Jews into the sea first chance they get. But such is his clout even before his installation, the Egyptians did indeed decide to withdraw their motion. Fortunately, other countries, including Malaysia, New Zealand and Venezuela had the guts to see it through.
You see, as soon as you criticise the Israeli state you're an anti-Semite, like Ken Livingstone and various other people on the left who would like the world to remember the forgotten people of Palestine. Israel is doing everything it can short of genocide to squeeze them into smaller and smaller enclaves, because it wants the whole place to itself. Hey, it's the promised land, right? Just like it says in the Bible. Judea and Samaria is what they call it. And King David called it for the Jews back in 1000 BC.
But don't say anything against that view out loud if you want to avoid the ire of the Zionists and their cadre of very powerful supporters. They'll say you're against the Jews. Probably deny the holocaust. Or even think it was a good idea. You liked Hitler, didn't you? Don't try to deny it. You want the Arabs to win, don't you. Those terrible terrorists.
Thing is, they're not terrorists. I've been there, I've stayed in their houses and you know what? They're ordinary folks like you and me; they just want to make a living and raise their families without the Israelis breathing down their necks the whole time. They want to enjoy the same human rights as their Israeli neighbours: to travel freely, go abroad when they want to, build factories, work their land. At the moment all these things are consistently denied them because of their race, and that, in case you hadn't noticed, is called Apartheid.
Well done U.N. Keep it up. The world needs reminding of the injustices done to the Palestinian people, even if the Zionists and Donnie would prefer you forget.
