UN Honors Palestinians’ Narrative of a “Catastrophe” They Falsely Blame on Israel

The United Nations has sunk to a new low in its animus against Israel. On May 15^th, the UN officially commemorated for the first time, pursuant to a General Assembly mandate, what the Palestinians refer to as Nakba (catastrophe). The “catastrophe” the Palestinians continue to whine about was Israel’s declaration of independence seventy-five years ago. The UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People organized a High-Level Special Meeting to commemorate “Nakba Day,” which included a keynote address by the President of the Palestine Authority, H.E. Mahmoud Abbas.

True to form, Abbas used inflammatory language to smear the Jewish state, equating its statements with the lies of infamous Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. He called for Israel’s suspension from the UN, lamenting what he claimed was the “ongoing historic injustice that fell on the Palestinian people in 1948 and before that date, and that continues after.” Abbas blamed the United States and the United Kingdom for planting a foreign colonial Zionist entity in the “Palestinian homeland.”
