UN Condemns Israel As the World Marks Holocaust Remembrance Day

As the world commemorated the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the United Nations (U.N.) compared Palestinians to the Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide, according to an opinion piece by Anne Bayefsky posted on FoxNews.

On Monday, the U.N. hosted a temporary exhibit called "Holocaust by Bullets," featuring extensive research by the French organization Yahad-In Unum, which focuses on the murder of 2 million Jews at gunpoint.

However, the Holocaust associated exhibit was preceded by the U.N.'s month-long December display of Palestinian children featured in "devastating" conditions, suffering from unwarranted Israeli "operations."

Palestinian U.N. Representative Riyad Mansour helped launch the provocative exhibit by blatantly inciting Palestinian kids to kill Jews.

"We are so proud that in this popular uprising, the backbone of this uprising are the youth of Palestine," Mansour said.

The uprising Mansour boasts about is the ongoing wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks targeting innocent Jews and Israeli soldiers. Many of these attacks include stabbings, shootings, vehicular ramming, and throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails.

Moreover, on Tuesday, the Security Council held an explicitly anti-Israel discussion, "The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question," featuring seven hours of incitement and name calling targeting the Jewish state which was broadcasted internationally. Israel was accused of engaging in "crimes against humanity," "execution", "apartheid," "racism", "brutality," terrorism" and "torture of children" among other libels.

That day Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appeared to have justified Palestinian terrorism, saying that "it is human nature to react to occupation."

"Palestinian frustration is growing under the weight of a half century of occupation and the paralysis of the peace process...as oppressed peoples have demonstrated throughout the ages, it is human nature to react to occupation, which often serves as a potent incubator of hate and extremism," Ban said.

Israel's U.N. ambassador, Danny Danon, pointed out the hypocrisy surrounding recent Security Council resolutions. In the last four months, while "Israelis have been stabbed in their homes, shot at in the streets and run over by terrorists using cars as weapons...the Council adopted 12 resolutions against terrorism and condemned terrorist attacks in France, Sinai, Lebanon, Mali, Tunisia, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Somalia and Sudan." However, terrorist attacks against Israelis were never addressed, there was "no condemnation, no expression of solidarity, not even a statement of concern," Danon said.

Meanwhile, Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamenei posted a video to his official site challenging the extent of the Nazi's genocide against the Jews, reports the Times of Israel.

"No one in European countries dares to speak about the Holocaust, while it is not clear whether the core of the matter is reality or not," a narrator in the video says. "Even if it is reality, it is not clear how it happened. Speaking about the Holocaust and expressing doubts about it is considered to be a great sin," states the Farsi-speaking narrator, presumably Khamenei.

The Nazi Holocaust against the Jews of Europe

!!! - The asserted Statement rendered above By William Brock, is the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth! I was a Grade School Child at the time wwII began, and many of my friends and neighbors' Sons and Daughters, - most of Second Generation European extraction, enlisted in the Canadian Army, Navy and Airforce to join Great Britain to go to War, in 1939! Very many of them, never returned, having fallen battle against the Huns in Europe! I also had close relatives who were present at several of the Internment Camps in Germany and Poland, after the war, liberating Survivors from those Camps! In current times, it is appalling how far and grotesquely the 'biased' media rehash of the basic facts of the Holocaust have been 'deliberately' distorted! General Dwight D. Eisenhower himself, ordered that pictures and Documentations of what was factually witnessed, to ensure that the Truth following the War, would retain at 'least' partial semblance to the Truth, since Human nature clearly and indisputably always favours sensationalized untruths to pertinent facts!"

You Cab't Win a War of Words by Being Always on the Defense

The problem is that for over a half century Arabs have been on the attack, distorting, ignoring or inverting history, and indulging in unspeakable chutzpa in doing so. Defenders of Israel, on the other hand, do not take the initiative when it comes to telling their side of the story. At best they limit themselves to correcting individual Arab distortions and falsehoods. Sometimes not even that. But it was Lincoln, I believe, who said that a lie is half way around the world by the time the truth gets its boots on. So in a war of words and ideas, the same as in a war of weapons, you can't win by equipping your army only with shields. The Israelis have been grossly deficient in telling their story. So it's no wonder they are losing the war of words, even if they have been victorious in all military wars. Aren't they supposed to be smart? Evidently not on this subject.

Nazi genocide against Jews

My Father is a American veteran of world war 2. He was there during the liberation of the German concentration camps. He was around 18 at that time and witnessed with his own eyes the horrific conditions jews endured under Hitler! This Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei is ignorant, because he was not there to witness the atrocities! I trust my Dad and he would not lie about or fabricate something like that!
