How Israel continues to defy the United Nations

66

In light of another shameful and empty attack on Israel by the UN, one would think that the tiny Jewish state is, and will remain, perpetually isolated. The left-leaning and biased media will continue to report the false narrative about Israel’s increased isolation. Israel is heading toward apartheid they will say, and will in due time be regarded as a pariah state.

What the media does not say is how successful Israel has been in defying the anti-Semitic UN, which receives over 30 percent of its budget from the anti-Israel “Organization of Islamic Cooperation.” On the contrary, Israel has never been more embraced, more popular, and more valuable to so many countries across the world. In fact, outside of the UN, the “Palestinian” cause and the BDS movement has been a total flop.

One would ask how Israel has been so successful, despite receiving more condemnations from the UN than any other country combined. Yes, there are more resolutions against Israel at the UN than Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, Nigeria, and Somalia combined. The UN has been a hostile place for Israel, practically since its reestablishment. As Israel’s late Minister of Foreign Affairs Abba Eben said, “If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions.” So how does Israel continue to thrive, despite such consistent condemnation in the world’s leading international forum? The answer is simple. Technology.

Story continues below advertisement

Israel a country that is almost 70 years young, with little natural resources, spends 4.5 percent of its GDP on R&D, more than any other country. This has resulted in a world class military and education system, and a country that produces more start-ups per capita than any other country in the world, including the United States. Israel is home to 350 multinational R&D centres, which include Apple, Facebook, Samsung, Google, Amazon, HP, and many others. Israel is a world leader in Water, Agriculture, Energy, Cyber Security, Autonomous Vehicles, Artificial Intelligence, Medical Marijuana, and many other fields. Contrast that with the “Palestinian” Authority, which has produced next to nothing of value, despite receiving tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid over the last several decades.

Israel’s investment in technology is paying dividends. For example, in Asia, Israel has been making huge strides. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in China and India. Trade between Israel and China, the world’s second largest economy, has reached $12 billion, and is expected to double after the signing of a Free Trade Agreement. In 2016 alone, Chinese companies invested $16.5 billion in Israel. Israel’s relations with India, the world’s largest democracy, are flowering, with annual trade reaching 5 billion dollars, an amount that is expected to triple in the next 15 years. Israel is also negotiating free trade agreements with South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore. Israel’s trade with Japan, the world’s third largest economy, has been increasing steadily as well, reaching 3 billion dollars in 2016, an amount that is expected to increase substantially in the coming years.

Israel’s relations in Africa are also surging. After the Yom Kippur war of 1973, the oil-producing Arab countries blackmailed the vast majority of the 54 African nations into cutting ties with Israel. However, due to Israel’s expertise in water, agriculture, cyber security, and counter terrorism, attitudes have begun to change rapidly. PM Netanyahu has visited Africa three times in the last 18 months alone. Just this month, the U.S brought Israel into the Power Africa program, which will bring Israeli technology to people all over Africa. An historic Israel-Africa Conference is scheduled to occur in 2018, which will likely be attended by 25 – 30 heads of state from Africa.

In 2017, PM Netanyahu became the first Israeli PM to visit Latin America, strengthening relations with Argentina, Columbia, and Mexico. There is also talk of a second trip in 2018 to Brazil, Peru, and Paraguay.

The relations that Israel is establishing are starting to pay off at the UN, despite Israel’s recent defeat. The “Palestinian” authority was expecting at least 150 “No Votes” in support. They received only 128. 15 African countries abstained, and Togo voted in Israel’s favor. Israeli allies Kenya and Zambia chose not to even attend. Several Latin American countries also abstained, including Mexico, whose President promised not to betray Israel at the UN. In the Caribbean, countries that the “Palestinian” Authority could always count on, abstained as well.

In the foreseeable future the UN will remain hostile to Israel, since Israel will not commit national suicide and go back to the indefensible pre-1967 borders. However, Israel will continue to defy the UN and continue to thrive, as technology and ingenuity become much more important than oil. PM Netanyahu is 100 percent correct. The automatic majority against Israel at the UN is going to end, and sooner than most think.

Yes Mugabwe congratulated them for second place as although he had bankrupted Zimbabwe in 10 years and had the once breadbasket of southern Africa starving within 12 years , the corrupt south African blacks have now led on of the 10 richest countries in the world and the richest one in Africa into its present bankruptcy in only 23 years. Mind you this is pretty typical of black incompetence everywhere but I guess this will be smeared as racist as opposed to factual. Rampant tribalism, nepotism and cronyism will be the ruin of Africa.

Education and intelligence quotient are totally different. There is methodology for testing IQ, which does not involve reading and writing. The US military started using some of these tests … a very long time ago, as some of their recruits were illiterate. And, some of the illiterates went well beyond the Brilliantine to Genius measurement.

You have to have some basic level of education to understand the questions in an IQ test.
Educational opportunities in the PRC are highly stratified. From what I understand, rural people aren’t allowed to attend the quality public educational institutions of the big cities, it’s somehow tied to their state ID cards.

Some races are better to serve and run a more effective organization/government simply be cause they were educated human beings. Teach the indigenous people how to manage their ways of living and they will live more comfortable and prosperous.

I followed Apartheid in SA very closely and then after the ANC took over. They traded a prosperous nation that fed half of Africa to a hellish dictatorship resulting in a 90% rape rate in the townships, white genocide, failing infrastructure, rampant crime and a huge aids epidemic. I’m not excusing apartheid but there are many middle aged Black south Africans that long for the old days before frequent power outages, good jobs and mass corruption.

Kram, the composer of the above article took the words that I have been writing and speaking right out of my mouth. I say this in a very favorable reply to the contents of this article. For me the equation that this article deals with should result in the Arab world absorbing the Palestinians and Gazan’s which will end the conflict that seems to be a never ending saga, a saga based on the continuing false premise that Israel is an “occupier, ” superimposed on the built in anti-Semitism of the Islamic world. When the Arab countries finally realize that neighborliness with an Israel that has defensible borders will be in their best interest, I would hope that those Arab nations will finally conclude that even their best interests are served extremely well by a relationship of cooperation between Israel and the Arab world.

Israel is very profitably and sensibly woking the potential markets of the world, it is not wasting it time beating dead horses. In comparison, the muslim world is obsessed with superstition and myth that it destroys anything that would be of profit or prophet. The future holds prosperity for Israel, destitution for islam.

So much to learn about the Catholic Crusades and history. There were many most out to kill non Catholics in Europe. Baltic, Northern, Prussian, Fourth Crusade and so on.

Two major events and we would most likely not have had today’s troubles, Fourth Crusade and Crimean War. First Turkey would not have fallen. Second Russia would have taken back Turkey

Even with the Third Crusade King Richard was left to fight Saladin alone, while the French stole his Normandy lands. On his return arrested by Austrian, handed over to German Emperor for imprisonment.
On his release he died fighting the French to regain his stolen lands

This is where modern day terrorism began with UK making a Grand Mufti, who hated Jews

Although, Saladin was the one who created sharia law he had some compassion and not like the evil Muslims today. The muff diver Mufti is a classic example of what I’m talking about. France is through; they always hated Jews and now karma has infiltrated them. In a few years there will be only Islamic flags and no churches. Jews will disappear completely from France. Obama and Hillary have unleashed evil with Europe with the Arab Spring. As looney tunes says: That’s all folks!

You right Saladin had some compassion

One forgets Bloody Mary (Queen Mary) Catholic who sided with France. England has been at wars with Catholic France and Catholic Spain for ages..

We forget that the Mufti escaped France wearing a Burqa to Egypt

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, had such hate for the Jews when he was in Palestine, and when he sided with Hitler stopped the exit of Jews to Palestine, even the 2000 school children first train load to be sent to Gas Chambers and we never get taught about the Grand Mufti or the Croatian Ustaše.

I hope France will never fall to Islam or other countries and will fight back when they see the corruption to push Muslims in.

The UN and the EU are both epic failures and should be treated as such.

The EU was originally only for economic policy they are now involved in forcing European countries to become borderless causing the destruction of Europe. There next phase is military power.

The UN is an ANTI-CHRIST organisation that is deceitfull and controlling governments on all levels globally.

Both organisations will ultimately fail.

If the UN condemns the conduct of specific nations almost 100 times in the past year and singles out Israel in 83 of them, that tells you something. But when it has China and Saudi Arabia sitting on its human rights council, then that tells you something else entirely.

It operates more like “United Notions”.

That is one reason I know that Israel in the news recently standing up to the UN and our support for them is such wonderful news and hopefully a trend to continue. They have fought for so long for righteousness but the history is a long an evil one that wants to end their way of life.
