The United Nations, that vast reservoir of righteousness and international justice, has once again defined absurdity downward.<\/p>\n
In March, North Korea sank the South Korean Navy ship Cheonan, killing 46 in a bald and remorseless act of international aggression.\u00a0 The U.N.’s reaction?\u00a0 On Friday, the Security Council expressed “deep concern”<\/a> without even bothering to name the attacking party, and urged “appropriate and peaceful measures to be taken against those responsible.”\u00a0 North Korea naturally and rightfully labeled that U.N. evasion “our great diplomatic victory.”\u00a0 In other words, the U.N. lamented the murder without daring to name the murderer.\u00a0 In contrast, Israel was labeled “murderous” and “guilty”<\/a> by U.N. officials earlier this year, and remains the most condemned target of the U.N. collection of dictators and kleptocrats.\u00a0 Israel’s transgression?\u00a0 Commandos firing in self-defense<\/a> when attacked by knives, steel pipes and even guns taken by the mob from the commandos themselves.<\/p>\n The Obama Administration and liberals continue to dismiss the U.N.’s malfeasance as harmless, but the fact is that it isolates Israel, emboldens murderous dictators and only encourages similar future behavior.\u00a0 Sadly, the U.N. continues to more closely resemble its failed predecessor, the League of Nations<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The United Nations, that vast reservoir of righteousness and international justice, has once again defined absurdity downward.
