Just a reminder of the UN's perversion and corruption

Anne Bayefsky has the latest summation of the UN's attitude towards Israel. On the one hand, no one should be surprised. After all, the UN is made up mostly of dictatorships, corrupt third world countries or combinations thereof. Democracies are a minority there, as indeed they are in the world (you can say what you like, at least the UN has accurate representation...)

"The total tally of country specific votes coming from the 2004 Commission now stands at:
Israel-5
Rest of the World-4
(the other states being Belarus, Cuba, Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Turkmenistan)."

"While those other country resolutions were being considered, the U.N. hosted a two-day meeting on Israel's security fence, April 15 and 16, directly across the hall from the commission. The juxtaposition was staggering. The same facilities were provided for a meeting on Israel as were provided for human rights on the remainder of the planet."

On the other, I'd still like to believe in something LIKE the UN. An organization that does good in the world. Maybe one day. But not today. Not the UN.

UPDATE:

Mrs Bayefsky delves a little deeper into the nightmarish monstrosity that is the UN: Business as usual at the UN

A Quote:
"Israel was treated somewhat differently by the U.N.'s primary human-rights body, which is composed of a majority of Asian and African states and whose membership includes countries with such appalling human-rights records as China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

Not only were five resolutions adopted condemning Israel, but the commission took three hours out of its schedule to mourn the death of Hamas terrorist leader Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. Yassin personally instigated and authorized suicide bombing and exhorted his followers to "armed struggle" against Israelis and Jews "everywhere." A special sitting for Yassin was convened on March 22, 2004, despite the fact that the commission was already in session, and about to consider the only country-specific agenda item at the commission for the past 34 years — on Israel. "
