United Who?

The United Nations, an organization with a noble charter but somewhere, long ago, lost its way. A giant landmark jutting skyward, with the flags of many nations fluttering in the wind. Curbside decorations, nothing more. Inside, hollow rooms, hollow people, hollow speeches. Podiums for Tyrants, Despots and Dictators spewing their slanted view of the world; slaying their opponents with twisted, venomous hateful words. Never once do they consider the people they oppress whom they have brutally caged and controlled. But oh how they love to point the finger at the United States and others who are always to blame for everything. Who are always the ones causing the trouble, never them. While their rants tirelessly ramble on, a few dissenters leave the room, but are outnumbered by the many who stay, numbed into nothingness, "do-nothingness." By their non actions, they sanction, give credibility to those tyrants and their inexcusable actions and tirades when they should be roundly condemned. But today was different, this September 24, 2009. Today was a day to remember. For on this day a man spoke with more clarity, more truth, more moral fiber than any other person who has ever spoken at the United Nations. The righteous words were uttered by the Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu. They were a G-d knock on the head, a pierce to the heart, and a bruise to the soul. For he spoke to this body as it should have been spoken to a long time ago. His chastisement of the United Nations was a breath of fresh air. A rightful condemnation of a frightful body of people who have lost their way. He spoke about the continuous rocketing of his homeland by terrorists, with no regard for whom they murdered...babies, small children, men, women, old people. The Israelis, thinking that giving up more of their land would stop these incessant terrorist attacks, found out, much to their horror, that just the opposite happened--the attacks increased. But to Israel's incredulity the UN condemned Israel NOT the terrorists. Huh???? When Mr. Netanyahu talked of Iran's Holocaust Denier, Ahmadinejad, and actually had to hold up a map showing the location of the concentration camps where Jews were incarcerated to the members listening, it was almost too surreal to watch. Was Mr. Netanyahu's display because most of the people listening believed, along with Ahmadinejad, that the Holocaust "did not" occur? And Mr. Netanyahu's "have you no shame in allowing this Holocaust Denier a podium at the UN?" was right on target. Because the biggest problem with the UN is the one Mr. Netanyahu touched on, they have no shame. They have grown too big for their britches. They have lost sight of their real goal - their charter. It is long gone. It has been replaced with their new charter of power and greed. If ever there was a leader in the world today, Mr. Netanyahu gets my vote, hands down. If ever there was an organization that has done more to silence democracy, pervert justice, enrich itself at the expense of others, it is the UN. Mr. Netanyahu, thank you for standing up, because you really didn't have any other choice as no one else would stand up for you. Thank you for saying what needed to be said, because you really didn't have any other choice as no one else would stand up for you. Thank you for standing up for Israel because you really didn't have any other choice as no one else would stand up for you. And I see now that your staunchest ally, the FORMER United States, has now abandoned you. Thank you Comrade Obama. Thank you Mr. Netanyahu for saying what needed to be said, because you really didn't have any other choice as no one else would have spoken the truth as you did. Thank you for taking the Iranian Holocaust Denier to task, because NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE DONE IT. Thank you for taking the UN to task BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE DONE IT. The UN has let Israel down, its charter down, its members down. Mr. Netanyahu, you champion freedom and truth and morality and courage and stand your ground. I am proud to align myself with you and your country. You and your country Israel are and always will be a shining light to ALL THE GENTILE NATIONS. And shame, shame shame on you United Nations. You really need to get your act together. May G-d help you find your way. Maybe this tiny country's spokesman will help you. G-d Bless you Prime Minister, and G-d Bless Israel. Baruch Ha-Shem
