UN cancels Jewish exhibit at last minute on Arab complaints

FOX NEWS

A United Nations agency pulled an exhibit on the Jewish people’s “3,500-year relationship” to the land of Israel, after the Arab League lodged a last-minute protest, according to a report.

The exhibit, entitled “People, Book, Land – The 3,500 Year Relationship of the Jewish People and the Land of Israel,” was created jointly by the Jewish human rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, and was scheduled to open Jan. 20 at UNESCO’s Paris headquarters. But less than a week before it was to open, UNESCO informed the SWC is was canceling it because the Arab League had claimed the exhibit “could create potential obstacles related to the peace process in the Middle East,” the U.S.-based Jewish newspaper The Algemeinerreported.

Invitations had already gone out, and the fully prepared exhibition material was already in place, the paper reported. The display was co-sponsored by Israel, Canada and Montenegro. Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Wiesenthal Center, called the move was an “absolute outrage.”

“The Arabs don’t want the world to know that the Jews have a 3,500-year relationship to the Land of Israel.”
– Rabbi Marvin Hier, Simon Wiesenthal Center

In a letter to Irina Bokova, president of UNESCO, Abdulla al Neaimi, from the United Arab Emirates, expressed “deep worry and great disapproval” over the program showing the age old connection between Israel and the Jewish people.

  1. Nothing in the UN happens unless the Americans approve. If the Americans disapproved it would never have happened.

    By the Way: Where is the UN?

    “Comprehensive Peace Agreement” is the modern Pax Romana as in, “they made a desert and called it peace,” or, “you need protection.” From whom? “From us” or is that, from USA? Notice: as the threat of attack from Persia and its Syrian satellite grows so does the American protective presence in what remains of the land of Israel. We assume readers know about the advanced American anti-missile batteries in Israel that do not share their intelligence readings with IDF staff unless the Americans deem it useful to dribble some leftovers to their vassal. How bitter that the Israeli vassal does more genuine service to its American masters than perhaps any other vassal state in history. There is a ‘good’ reason for this: by running the “Jewish State” as a subsidiary of the Quartet directorate, the subcontractors (perennial client regime, a.k.a. the undertakers) get to suppress the Jews. There are few things a modern or post-modern Hellenist loves more: it demonstrates the progress s/he has made from the superstition of a living culture into the great darkness of world-Hellenism and its Dionysian trappings and substrate.

    look rather to Moscow, Berlin, London, Rome, Paris, Madrid and Washington for the sources of our distress. And the next time some despot starts ranting against Israel or America, don’t forget that the UN is in NYC and that said despots would not be there unless it suited the purposes of our masters for them to be there. Antiochus and Hadrian have not ceased from their main agenda, they simply have extended the scope and diversified the sites of their rule. Forewarned is forearmed: history reflects the future…

  4. I’m again in total agreement with ArnoldHarris, as I am with most of his postings. Fear is a far better motivator in current circumstances, than (ersatz) love.

  5. What would you rather have? The sympathy of the goyim, or all Eretz-Yisrael firmly under Jewish control and with a large Jewish population, as in the era of the judges and kings of united Israel?

    I never have given a shit about the opinions of enemies; but only the reality of power.
