UN to Israel: Commit Suicide

This should come as no surprise, but I am a staunch supporter of Israel and a staunch believer that the US should stop contributing to the abomination that is the United Nations in the hope that it could not survive without our contribution.

My opinions are based on a very large number of things, not in the least statements like these:

Israel must provide more freedom of movement in the West Bank and open crossings into Gaza to avoid driving even more Palestinians into poverty after Hamas seized the coastal strip two months ago, the United Nations Mideast envoy said Wednesday.

Israel's decision to shut Gaza's borders to all but humanitarian aid in the wake of Hamas' takeover is threatening an already badly damaged economy — and "this shows every sign of getting worse," Michael Williams said in an interview with The Associated Press and two other media outlets.

"We do not see how that can be changed short of opening additional crossing points, particularly Karni," Williams said, referring to Gaza's main cargo crossing with Israel.

It is an absurd request and will, without question, lead to Israeli deaths. That Israel continues to keep borders open for humanitarian aid is more than any of its neighbors would do for it. I do not understand that animosity that the liberal press carries toward Israel, a very liberal nation.
