U.N. Declares 2014 Year of Palestinian Solidarity !!!
U.N. Declares 2014 Year of Palestinian Solidarity
by Adam Kredo
Jewish officials worry about exclusion, uptick in anti-Israel activity ...
The United Nations overwhelmingly voted http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/ga11460.doc.htm
to declare 2014 the “International Year of Solidarity with
the Palestinian People” during an unprecedented vote that
human rights observers say was marred by anti-Israel fervor.
The U.N.’s General Assembly (UNGA) voted 110 to 7 to approve the resolution http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/ga11460.doc.htm on Nov. 26, just a day after the measure was put forth during a controversial series of meetings to mark 2013’s “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.”
While the U.N. holds a Palestinian solidarity day each year, this is the first time that it has voted to dedicate an entire year to what it describes as the plight of the Palestinian people.
The General Assembly adopted at least three other resolutions that targeted Israel on the same day.
Jewish groups worry that the U.N. will now see a massive uptick in anti-Israel activity in 2014, as the Palestinian rights committee assumes unilateral control over meetings and events that can take place under the auspices of the solidarity year.
The 2014 resolution was passed just one day after a prominent Jewish human rights institute was controversially barred http://freebeacon.com/group-un-body-bars-jews-from-entering-palestinian-meeting/ from attending events held on behalf of the 2013 day of Palestinian solidarity.
Anne Bayefsky, director of The Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust (IHRH), http://legacy.touro.edu/IHRH/ the group at the center of the controversy, warned that UN staff and a UN committee have now been enabled to make 2014 a “year of excluding pro-Israel Jewish organizations from the United Nations.”
Critics say the initiative is likely to exacerbate what they say is an anti-Israel bias http://freebeacon.com/iran-refuses-to-recognize-israel-at-u-n/ at the United Nations, where the Palestinians have many allies in their efforts to marginalize Israel.
“The General Assembly resolution declaring 2014 as Palestinian solidarity year greatly expands the anti-Israel propaganda operation of the UN’s Palestinian Division,” said Bayefsky, who warned that the ban of her group is a “part of a larger political agenda to rewrite history and delegitimize Israel.”
The 2014 resolution was only opposed by Israel, the United States, Australia, Canada, Micronesia, and several others. Fifty-six member nations abstained form the vote.
“U.S. taxpayers have paid over half a billion dollars renovating U.N. Headquarters in the middle of New York City, and yet the Obama administration has ceded access to public meetings therein for the first time ever to the UN Division for Palestinian Rights,” Bayefsky said. “It’s an outrage, and must be challenged immediately.”
“The United States strongly supports the principle of non-governmental organization participation at the United Nations and will continue to engage on this issue,” said Erin Pelton, a spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
Daniel S. Mariaschin, executive vice president of B’nai B’rith International (BBI), a Jewish group with a strong presence at the United Nations, said that the 2014 resolution is part of a larger campaign to delegitimize Israel on the world stage.
“We in the Jewish community, organization, and friends of our community, will need to redouble our efforts” to correct the narrative about Israel, Mariaschin told the Free Beacon. “This is one example of something we’ll certainly be pushing back against, educating, and engaging in our advocacy activity.”
The resolution designating 2014 as the year of Palestinian solidarity orders that a series of “activities” be held throughout the year.
These activities and meetings will be organized by the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP), which will also be in charge of determining who gains access.
The CEIRPP was also in charge of determining access when the IHRH—an officially accredited U.N. non-governmental organization—and 18 pro-Israel Jews were barred from attending this year’s Palestinian solidarity day.
U.N. security officials initially granted the IHRH credentials permitting 18 Birthright Israel alumni to attend the daylong http://unispal.un.org/unispal.nsf/V_Bloc20/solidaritypage?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=1 series of meetings. http://unispal.un.org/unispal.nsf/solidarity.htm?OpenForm However, the credentials were revoked less than a day later after the CEIRPP objected, according to emails obtained at the time by the Free Beacon.
Bayefsky cautioned that “unless something is done now” the CEIRPP and the U.N. Palestinian Division can be expected to allow only “hand-picked, anti-Israel members of civil society” to attend any U.N. public meeting labeled a solidarity event in 2014.
The Division for Palestinian Rights, which will act as the gatekeeper to meetings held under the 2014 resolution, ultimately did not allow the IHRH and 18 pro-Israel Jewish individuals to attend this year’s meetings.
Photos taken on the day of the event show that over-crowding was not an issue, as some had claimed it would be, and that just two flags were erected at the front of the room used for the meetings: The official U.N. flag and one representing the “State of Palestine.”
The U.N. meeting room was decorated with several panels purporting to outline the Arab-Israeli conflict. It included a display claiming that there are 11 million Palestinian refugees, a number disputed by many, http://freebeacon.com/redefining-refugee-status/including members of Congress.
Israel’s flag was not present in the room even though the day of solidarity is meant to highlight the international body’s commitment to a two-state solution in the Middle East.
Speakers at the event included Filippo Grandi, the commissioner-general of the UN’s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and Methodist Church representative David Wildman, who advocated in favor of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement that wages economic warfare on Israel.
Wildman invited “all member states” to join the BDS movement and accused Israel of apartheid in his remarks.
UNRWA’s Grandi blamed Israel for the plight that some Palestinians face in Syria, where a years-long civil war continues to kill civilians.
“Palestinian refugees are at risk of their lives literally today in Syria because more than 1 million Palestinian refugees together with other Palestinians continue to live under blockade and suffer very severe hardship in Gaza,” he said.
Grandi also implied that Israel’s creation is “the original injustice” in the Middle East.
BBI’s Mariaschin said that Jewish groups are facing an uphill battle at the U.N.
Israel-centric resolutions and meetings are “part and parcel of the infrastructure in the U.N., which puppets the Palestinian narrative,” he said.
“There’s a lot going on that needs to addressed,” Mariaschin
said. “No question.”The U.N.’s General Assembly (UNGA) voted 110 to 7 to approve the resolution http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/ga11460.doc.htm on Nov. 26, just a day after the measure was put forth during a controversial series of meetings to mark 2013’s “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.”

Netanyahu: Israel and Palestinians aren't close to final peace deal
Prime minister's remarks counter those made by Secretary of State Kerry last week, who declared that the two sides were
closer than ever; Netanyahu tells Likud MKs: Any deal will be brought for public referendum.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel and the Palestinians were not near a permanent agreement and
that he could not appraise future developments. Netanyahu told lawmakers at a Likud faction meeting that U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry would return to the region over the weekend or next week.

US in quiet talks with Hizballah as Syrian rebels lose Qalamoun strongholds in crushing defeat
The conquest Sunday, Dec. 8, of Nabuk in the Qalamoun Mountains on the Syrian-Lebanese border is a signal strategic
breakthrough for Bashar Assad’s army, climaxing a row of battleground successes that have cast the rebel forces in deep disarray.
Nabuk fell after a two-week siege by the combined forces of Syria, Hizballah, Iraqi Shiite units and the Iranian Al Qods Brigades.
The Qalamoun range which separates central Syria from central Lebanon is at their mercy. [...]

The 'Coming Persecution Of Christians' Has Already Begun
We know from Matthew 24 that persecution will grow during this age, reaching a pinnacle during the Tribulation.
Indeed, this process is already well underway:
Christians Are Being Burned Alive, Beheaded, Crucified, Tortured To Death And Imprisoned In Metal Shipping Containers
The “coming persecution of Christians” has already begun. It is already here. So why is the mainstream media in the United States
almost totally silent about this phenomenon? When some politician somewhere around the globe inadvertently offends homosexuals
or Muslims, it instantly makes headline news. But very few Americans are even aware that it has been estimated that 100 million
Christians are currently facing persecution and thatapproximately 100,000 Christians die for their faith each year. As you are about
to see, Christians all over the world are being burned alive, beheaded, crucified, tortured to death and imprisoned in metal shipping
containers just because of what they believe. This persecution goes on year after year and it is steadily intensifying.
But the governments of the western world and the mainstream media are almost entirely ignoring what is happening. [...]

NSA Secrets
THE LATEST: The National Security Agency is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on the whereabouts of cellphones around
the world, according to top-secret documents and interviews with U.S. intelligence officials, enabling the agency to track the
movements of individuals — and map their relationships — in ways that would have been previously unimaginable.
THE BIG STORY: Documents provided to The Washington Post and the British newspaper The Guardian have revealed new
details about surveillance programs carried out by the National Security Agency. Stories based on those documents have also

Israel, Jordan and P.A. sign ‘historic’ water pact
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority signed an agreement to lay a pipeline between the Red Sea
and the Dead Sea that will provide all three with fresh water.
Establishing a project called the Two Seas Canal, the pact was signed Monday afternoon at the World Bank in Washington, D.C.,
according to Israel’s Ministry of Regional Cooperation.
The project will bring about 100 million cubic meters of water a year from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea to slow the drying up of the latter.
It also will establish a seawater desalination plant in Aqaba, Jordan, to provide fresh water annually for all three signatories.
The World Bank is financing the project at a cost of $200 million to $400 million,
with the three signatories to repay the bridge loans being used. [...]

The Hijacking of Apartheid
by Richard D. Heideman
The term “apartheid” is often used by advocates determined to achieve their own goals for their own purposes.
In remembering Nelson Mandela, we most recall his determined leadership in bringing down apartheid — the separation of races — in South Africa. His passing after a lifetime of suffering extreme prejudice and hatred causes us all to pause in honor of his deeds and respect for his commitment to justice and equality. The term “apartheid” evokes not only images of the struggle of his people in South Africa, but is also a concept that is often taken, and sometimes mistaken, by advocates determined to achieve their own goals for their own purposes. Such is the misuse of the term “apartheid” as it is thrown around in an accusatory framework against the State of Israel, who suffers regularly in the United Nations and in the press from the untrue and unfounded accusation that Israel, in building the terrorism prevention security fence, has built an “apartheid wall.” For decades at the United Nations and in the press, the Palestinians and her supporters have blindly but broadly attempted to brand Israel as a racist criminal state, adopting resolutions equating Zionism with racism and continuing the war of words against Israel in repeated UN Conferences and resolutions. The theme is simple and has been quite effective: brand Israel as Zionist … brand Zionism as racism. With racism and apartheid being criminal … brand Israelis as part of a Zionist racist criminal conspiracy to commit apartheid. This ugly effort lives on without regard to the truth. [...]
