Bayesfsky to UN: You Are ‘the Leading Global Purveyor of Anti-Semitism’

Bayefsky says UN is ‘inciting murderous intolerance towards’ Jews

By Adam Kredo, FREE BEACON

A leading human rights advocate accused the United Nations and its member nations of being “the leading global purveyor of anti-Semitism” and “inciting murderous intolerance towards” Jewish people during an unprecedented speech Monday at the international body’s headquarters in New York City.

Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust (IHRH), stood before the U.N. and lambasted it for fanning the flames of global anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel, according to a copy of her remarks.

Bayefsky delivered her rebuke during an informal briefing on the threat anti-Semitism poses to international peace and security that was organized on the sidelines of the U.N. by the permanent mission of Palau.

While the briefing took place within the U.N.’s walls—and was attended mainly by members of the public and outside organizations—it was not formally sponsored by the international organization, leading Bayefsky to launch a scathing criticism.

“The U.N. is not having a conference on the threat that global anti-Semitism poses to international peace and security,” she said. “This is lunch-time. The courageous organizer, assisted by the principled representatives of the small state of Palau, is independent of the U.N. The facilities are not free.”

“But why couldn’t the U.N., founded on the ashes of the Jewish people, and presently witnessing a widespread resurgence in anti-Semitism, sponsor a conference on combating global anti-Semitism?” Bayefsky asked. “The answer is clear: Because the United Nations itself is the leading global purveyor of anti-Semitism.”

Bayefsky went on to criticize top U.N. officials and the organization for “mass produci[ing] inequality for Jews and the Jewish nation.”

“Photo-ops of the U.N. secretary-general and the U.N. high commissioner for human rights at the gates of Auschwitz are not an alibi,” she said, dubbing these worthless public relations moves.

“One does not honor the memory of Jews murdered by intolerance six decades ago by inciting murderous intolerance towards the remnant of the Jewish people in the here and now,” Bayefsky said. “Incitement to hate, like declaring Israel to be racist—as does the U.N. Durban Declaration—the flagship of the U.N.’s racist anti-racism program of action.”

The U.N. has vociferously criticized Israel and its military over the past weeks of indiscriminately waging war against the Palestinian people, a charge that critics such as Bayefsky said is rooted in the organization’s deep-seated bias against the Jewish state.

Around 35 percent of all resolutions and decisions approved by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council target Israel, Bayefsky said, noting, “That’s anti-Semitism.”

Additionally, 50 percent of the emergency sessions held by the U.N.’s General Assembly (G.A.) over the past 60 years “were convened to denounce Israel,” Bayefsky said, pointing out that no such session has been called “on any other state in other thirty years.”

In 2013, 70 percent of the G.A. resolutions targeting a specific country for human rights abuses focused on Israel, she said, adding that this is further proof of the U.N.’s anti-Semitic agenda.

The organization’s latest bid to delegitimize Israel focuses on accusing the Jewish state of war crimes in its most recent conflict with Gaza, Bayefsky said.

“Today U.N. anti-Semitism has taken yet one more treacherous turn. The U.N. has launched a legal pogrom against the Jewish state,” she said. “Hired guns, posing as independent arbiters, like William Schabas are appointed to discover what they’ve already found. Guilty!”

“Phony legal rules misinterpret proportionality to favor a more even number of dead Israelis,” she continued. “The Iron Dome [missile defense system] worked too well! And the International Criminal Court is poised to pounce.”

“Serious about never again?” she asked. “Then never forget that the perversion of the legal system is how genocide begins. A legal pogrom serves as a license to kill.”

    “YOU have to be a retard if you cannot see the forensic potential for making them expose themselves TO themselves.”

    “You can’t make them and they won’t do it.”

    Suggest you try it, then come back & talk about it.

    “Why should they [answer the earlier questions in re ‘proportionality’]?”

    They usually have an ego thing about “being reasonable.” (They aren’t reasonable, but like to think they are.)

    “If really pinned against it they will pull a dwellerism obfuscation and duck.”

    Everybody ducks from time-to-time. That’s not obfuscation, that’s common sense & good tactics: in the boxing ring, in court, on the street, in combat, online, on camera. . . anywhere.

    If they actually do try to obfuscate — viz., to ignore a major issue like this altogether — you have to patiently but firmly draw their attention back around to it. Insist on their answers to the questions about the matter of proportionality — which they raised.

    “Don’t see anyone pinning them against it do you? If yes who and how?”

    Yes. Li’l Ol’ Winemaker. Resolve & Patience.

    “What’s your leverage?”

    Told you, above. The people we’re talking about like to think of themselves as ‘reasonable.’ They aren’t. But they don’t see that. They need to be ‘forced’ to see that for themselves.

    Even if they don’t end up admitting the reality aloud, it doesn’t matter so long as they have to SEE it (possibly for the first time ever) — because they will carry that home with them. . . . You will have planted your seeds. This isn’t a one-shot deal. You may never see the fruits of your exchange with the particular individuals you deal with.

    Obviously I’m not talking about visibly rabid types. But the UN crowd isn’t like that. The UN crowd (and those like them) is largely self-deluded yet superficially civilized. With them, this is doable. But you have to stay calm when you do this. Any excitement (positive or negative) will only draw attention to the excited party, and you want to draw attention only to the (well-stated) point you’re making.

    When you ask the above questions, they will try changing the subject or restating their ‘proportionality’ shmegegge according to their agenda, and then quickly move on to the rest of their narrative. But you have to insist on answers before permitting them to continue.

    If they persist in refusing to answer your questions, you have the option of letting them continue the discussion as a “monolog” (to put it courteously) — since you are LEAVING — because there’s no need for you to talk with somebody who isn’t even interested in assuring that you are both on the same page.

    After all, it is THEY who raised the question of ‘proportionality,’ and you just want to be sure that the two of you (or how many there are) agree on what that means. . . .

  2. @ dove:

    “It may be hard at times being Jewish but what are the alternatives? Turning into a dweller?”

    “No way anybody OTHER than dweller could turn into a dweller. YOUR problem is to turn into a dove. And you have YET to start on that road.”

    “lol…….I am not SUPPOSE to be a ‘dove’ towards people like you!”

    You are so full of hatred and judgment that what I said went clear past you.

    I wasn’t referring to any peaceable quality connected in the popular consciousness with Doves. I simply used the name that you take for yourself online, and said that you’re supposed to “turn into” whatever it is that that name IS. If you’d used an online handle of “Frosty the Snowman,” I’d have said you’re supposed to “turn into” Frosty the Snowman.

    Astonishing, the way you are compulsively driven to take everything I say the wrong way. There are some things that it would SEEM impossible to take wrongly — yet you do manage to pull off even that. Truly amazing.

    Those who hate — and you are hardly the only one — labor under under a curse that cannot leave them as long as they harbor it and cultivate it.

  3. @ dweller:

    YOUR problem is to turn into a dove.

    And you have YET to start on that road.

    lol…….I am not SUPPOSE to be a ‘dove’ towards people like you! What you get is…..baracuda, shark, dragon slayer, tiger.

    As long as you are a Paul admirer I consider you my enemy, an enemy of the Jewish people – an enemy of Hashem.

    What does King David say about enemies?

    We find King David praying that “when he [King David’s enemy] is judged, let him emerge guilty, and let his prayer be accounted as a sin. May his days be few, and may someone else take his office of dignity. May his sons be orphans and his wife a widow. May his sons wander, and [people] should ask and search from their ruins. May a creditor search out all he has, and may strangers despoil his labor. May he have none who extends kindness, and may no one be gracious to his orphans

    We give you a certain amount of time to repent and turn from your ways….for me that time is long past!

    You can’t make them and they won’t do it. Why should they?

    If really pined against it they will pull a dwellerism obfuscation and duck. Don’t see anyone pinning them against it do you? If yes who and how? What’s your leverage?

    “More of the same:

    ‘Would you have felt better if more Jews had died?’

    ‘… if Tzahal troops had shot less straight?’

    ‘… if Israeli doctors, nurses & first responders had been less skilled?’

    ‘… if Israeli ambulances had moved slower?’

    ‘… if buildings in vulnerable border communities hadn’t had bomb shelters?’

    ‘What WOULD you find suitably proportional?’

    “Make them answer the question before allowing the conversation to proceed further.”

    “They have in their way answered already.”

    “In their way” is not an answer. You have to make them confront the question DIRECTLY, and as presented.

    “Stupid questions; already answered many times and in many ways.”

    Not stupid at all. It isn’t an inquiry. It’s an exposure.

    It’s not about finding out what they want. It’s about making them cop to it — or back off.

    They have to HEAR themselves saying, up front, precisely what they want; that’s why you have to be sure that YOU choose the phraseology of the questions.

    “You have to be a retard to even think you need to ask the questions.”

    YOU have to be a retard if you cannot see the forensic potential for making them expose themselves TO themselves.

    Both the English version was moderated so I posted hopefully same in Spanish.

    Dentist?? I chickened out and rescheduled. 🙂

    Rather face Hamas in a one on one.

  8. @ honeybee:

    Me pregunto cuál es la duración de la vida era de la media de Viking? Supongo que era difícil encontrar una línea de trabajo diferente para los malos abecedarios.

    Supongo que todo lo que quedaba de ellos eran los puestos de trabajo de Matar, saqueando y violando.

    Pensándolo bien que necesita para deletrear y se pierda toda la diversión?

  9. honeybee Said:

    Tought people, but tey can’t spel woth a dann.

    Wonder what the life span was of the average Viking? Guess it was hard to find a different line of work for bad spellers.

    I suppose all that was left to them were the jobs of Killing, plundering and raping.

    On second thought who needs to spell and miss all the fun?

    They have in their way answered already.

    ‘Would you have felt better if more Jews had died?’
    Yes!

    ‘… if Tzahal troops had shot less straight?’

    Fewer dead Arabs and more dead Jews is what they want.

    ‘… if Israeli ambulances had moved slower?’

    More dead Jews the desired result, yes of course that’s what we want. Duh?

    ‘… if buildings in vulnerable border communities hadn’t had bomb shelters?’

    Again: many more dead and maimed Jews. YES, that’s what we want.

    ‘What WOULD you find suitably proportional?’

    10 to one dead Jews over Arabs. That’s the min proportionality we want to see.

    Stupid questions; already answered many times and in many ways. You have to be a retard to even think you need to ask the questions.

    Apparently many of us have Viking DNA if we go back far enough

    Dream on, Darlin!!!!!!!!!!! You only wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Grand mother [now that we’re braggin, was a Geatlander [like Beowulf] otherwise known as Goths and Vis-Goths.

    Descended from a “race” of soldiers. Now you can brag.

  12. “Phony legal rules misinterpret proportionality to favor a more even number of dead Israelis,” she continued. “The Iron Dome [missile defense system] worked too well! And the International Criminal Court is poised to pounce.”

    Bayefsky is always & unfailingly lucid and to the point.

    It’s a good answer to offer in response to the claims of non-proportionality.

    More of the same:

    ‘Would you have felt better if more Jews had died?’

    ‘… if Tzahal troops had shot less straight?’

    ‘… if Israeli doctors, nurses & first responders had been less skilled?’

    ‘… if Israeli ambulances had moved slower?’

    ‘… if buildings in vulnerable border communities hadn’t had bomb shelters?’

    ‘What WOULD you find suitably proportional?’

    Make them answer the question before allowing the conversation to proceed further.

    Ashkenazi Jews.
    Caucasians ! Sephardic Jews different story. But, then, of course some of lucky ones have Viking DNA. eg Scarlet Johansson.

    Apparently many of us have Viking DNA if we go back far enough. My fathers family originally were Spanish Jews not Ashkenaz. After the expulsion when most Jews headed East mine apparently headed West to Lithuania. Original family name was Magan David. Traced the name and I was told the name originated from King Davids personal Guard. Moms family were strctly and typically Eastern European Jews. Dads grandfather came to America in the late 1800s, headed West traded with the Indians and finally moved back east to marry and raise a family.

    Apparently Jews and Indians got on well and they were both not welcome in christian white communities. I think they saw a lot of each in each other.

    There some very important details regarding the idiocy of “agreements” between a COUNTRY and an illegal entity devoid of legal standing.
    What is the basis for such agreements?

  16. Well, it is about time the reugnant un gets pushed back a little. Can the un be sued in the international criminal court? Go for it. Pursue ’em and never quit. Appeal after appeal. Whatever can be done to maked rtheir lives miserable within the law. Shut their asses down, let tehem go broke paying off their victims.

  17. @ yamit82:
    It may be hard at times being Jewish but what are the alternatives? Turning into a dweller? That in itself should cause most Jews to run back to Torah!!

    Don’t worry….the other thread closed but the TRUTH will be PROVED. We are close to that time. The world is going to have to know and understand WHY we are NOT on the same page as them.

  18. We are NOT a race. We are a PEOPLE – A NATION. A person can opt out of being Jewish OR a person can opt in and become Jewish. A person of race does not have that luxury. There are many Jews who are not caucasian.

    Kissin cousin or else we would not be here. Speaking of progeny !!!!! Careful with the car for your Grandson. My friend and her husband both graduated from AFA. The largest cause of death among the graduates was not planes or war, it was the muscle cars they receive upon graduation.

  20. Jews have long denied they were a race or sub-racial group.

    Well maybe some of us are.

    Are Jews a tribe, race or both?

    Ashkenazi Jews descend from 350 people, study finds ‘Bottleneck’ dates back 600 to 800 years, genome analysis shows; researcher says among population ‘everyone is a 30th cousin’.

    Ashkenazi Jews descend from 350 people, study finds ‘Bottleneck’ dates back 600 to 800 years, genome analysis shows; researcher says among population ‘everyone is a 30th cousin’.

    The study, published in the Nature Communications journal Tuesday, was authored by Shai Carmi, a computer science professor at Columbia University, and more than 20 medical researchers from Yale, Columbia, Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and other institutions.

    Researchers analyzed the genomes of 128 Ashkenazi Jews and compared them to those of non-Jewish Europeans in order to determine which genetic markers are unique to Ashkenazi Jews. They found that the Ashkenazi Jews’ genetic similarities were so acute that one of the study’s researchers, Columbia professor Itsik Pe’er, told the Live Science website that among Ashkenazi Jews, “everyone is a 30th cousin.”

  22. The hordes apparently are having a hard time internalizing “never again”. All right. Lets see if this is clear enough.
    In my interpretation it means this.
    Anyone or any group or country either attacking or planning to attack the Jewish state and people, or Jews and Jewish properties, institutions, etc, anywhere will be brought to destruction.
    So far that has been done halfheartedly.
    Heads up anti-Semites. Heed!
    That will change to sternness unknown to the hordes until now.
    Anyone, any organization or country giving cover to such bestial entities will be included in the termination.

    AH! No warnings will be forthcoming either.
