Could this be perpetuating the extremist anti-Semitic protests we see across North America?
A new report from Human Rights Voices reveals that United Nations has been promoting extremist anti-Israel protests in the United States, including protests that included the illegal blocking of roads and bridges:
“The United Nations promoted anti-Israel protests throughout the US this week in which demonstrators illegally blocked roads and bridges, the Human Rights Voices NGO revealed.
The UN’s ‘Division for Palestinian Rights’ hosts a website called the United Nations Information System on the Question of Palestine (UNISPAL). This website posts a weekly newsletter called NGO Action News, which provides information on the activities of anti-Israel organizations throughout the world.
In one example, on April 11, NGO Action News featured a post from the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) titled ‘Stop Arming Israel: 5 Ways to Take Action for Tax Day.’ This post called for ‘a coordinated economic blockade in cities around the world’ on April 15.
In the same newsletter on April 11, NGO Action News also featured a post from BADIL – Resource Centre for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights calling for actions that have ‘a material impact on the ability of the systems of these complicit states to function as normal. Material effects may be derived from targeting train stations, airports, commercial centers, diplomatic and governmental offices, arms companies, ports, and more.’”
As noted by Professor Anne Bayefsky, this is deeply concerning:
“Professor Anne Bayefsky, the Director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and President of Human Rights Voices, told Arutz Sheva – Israel National News that the UN’s promotion of protests where criminal behavior was displayed ‘is a five-alarm fire and a wake-up call for American lawmakers and the justice system. The mobs taking over American cities, bridges, and streets – putting American lives at risk as they block access to emergency services, harm businesses and disrupt travel across the country – are being aided and abetted by the United Nations from its headquarters in New York City.’”
Is this happening in Canada?
With many Canadians wondering how the rabid anti-Semitic protests in this country are being funded, it’s worth wondering whether the U.N. is playing a role in perpetuating hate within Canada.
This is a huge problem and indicates how far the United Nations has fallen from the once-noble purpose of the organization.
Canada needs to work with other free and democratic nations to build an alliance of democracies that will be able to do what the United Nations has failed to do.
