UN and OIC refuse to cooperate with Israel

“The State of Palestine” has been a member since the OIC’s founding in 1969.

The Executive Committee’s final communique is very concerning for the following reasons:

• There is no condemnation or even any mention of the invasion of Israel from Gaza on October 7, 2023 resulting in the brutal slaughtering of 1400 mainly-Jewish civilians whilst taking more than 200 hostages and deliberately destroying their homes

One can only conclude that the OIC condones this heinous and horrific inhumane behaviour by some of Gaza’s Moslem population. The OIC’s refusal to condemn those blood-thirsty Gazans makes a mockery of its claim to promote international peace and harmony among various people of the world.

• There is no offer or call on the OIC’s 57 member states to provide safe haven in their countries for Gaza’s civilian population entrapped in Gaza whilst Israel carries out its military response to the events of October 7th with the stated intention of liquidating these evil Gazan monsters

Instead the communique calls for:

“all countries to quickly provide humanitarian, medical and relief aid, water and electricity, and to open humanitarian corridors immediately in order to safely deliver urgent aid to the Gaza Strip, including through the United Nations institutions particularly the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and support its efforts in this regard;”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has obliged--preferring to keep Gaza’s civilian population entrapped in Gaza rather than calling on the UN’s 193 members--especially the 57 OIC member states - to take the Gazan civilian population into their countries whilst Israel wipes out those responsible for this unimaginable massacre and abduction.

Guterres and the OIC have seemingly agreed that the liquidation of the Gazan murderers is not an imperative for the maintenance of world peace and harmony--leaving the civilian population in Gaza to serve as human shields protecting these Gazan monsters and impeding Israel’s attempts to rid the world of them.

• Falsely and despicably condemned:

“the blatant targeting by Israel's brutal occupation forces of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza Strip, which killed and injured hundreds of innocent sick, injured and displaced innocent civilians, which represents a war crime, extermination and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, ethics and international and humanitarian instruments, Calls upon the international community to act swiftly and to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for these heinous war crimes against the Palestinian people and humanity as at large, and calls for immediate intervention to halt this massacre”

This rush to judge Israel guilty is contrary to the evidence established so far and destroys the credibility of the OIC.

The OIC and the United Nations have become the world’s leading Jew-bashing institutions.

This disgraceful OIC communique needs to be unequivocally denounced at the UN General Assembly by its 136 non-Islamic member States.

Murdering, raping, beheading and abducting civilians was supposedly ended with the defeat of ISIS in 2017. Such obscenities and atrocities have now returned in 2023 - and the UN and OIC have shamefully refused to co-operate with Israel in eradicating their perpetrators.
