Islamic Jew hatred UN: Global Machine of Organization of Islamic Conference

To reason with the irrational is futile. Yo speak of humanity to the inhumane in pointless. The UN is nothing more than the club of the largest world body, the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation). So the letter in the name of thousands of lawyers associated with the Legal Forum for Israel concerning  Ban Ki Moon’s  recent statements accusing Israeli forces of violating international humanitarian law and  especially Ki moon’s statement of  questioning Israel’s respect for the principles of distinction and proportionality, and his call for an “investigation into the repeated shelling of UN facilities harboring civilians” is the real human rights crime.

15 August, 2014UN Secretary General, the Hon. Ban Ki moon
United Nations Headquarters
New York, NY 10017
Excellency,
It is with considerable sadness and disappointment that we write this letter to you, in the name of thousands of lawyers associated with the Legal Forum for Israel.
We heard and read with amazement and incredulity your recent statements accusing Israeli forces of violating international humanitarian law, and especially your statement of 12 August 2014 questioning of Israel’s respect for the principles of distinction and proportionality, and your call for an “investigation into the repeated shelling of UN facilities harboring civilians”.
We find these statements by you to be nothing less than shocking, deceitful and totally inaccurate.
We know that you have been fully briefed, and are well aware of the circumstances that have given rise to the hostilities between Israel and the Hamas terror organization, including the mass barrage of rockets fired by Hamas at Israel’s civilian centers, and the extensive offensive tunnels under Israel’s sovereign territory.
We also know that you are fully aware of the extraordinary lengths to which the Israeli forces have gone in order to ensure that all targets are legitimate military targets, and to fully observe the principles of distinction and proportionality – to the extent of suffering casualties because of this.
We know that you are fully aware of the repeated warnings given to civilians to distance themselves from those structures used by Hamas for purposes of combat.
We know that you are fully aware of the fact that Hamas, as a matter of its basic operational procedure, deliberately and willfully uses its civilians and its civilian structures, whether schools, hospitals, mosques or private homes, in order to shield its rocket emplacements, weapons manufacture facilities, tactical planning and operation centers and its stocks of rockets and other weapons.
You are fully aware of the fact that they do this deliberately in order to generate civilian casualties, as part of their propaganda warfare.
Yet despite your knowing all these facts, you have nevertheless found it necessary to play along with the Hamas tactics and to arbitrarily and falsely accuse Israel of violating humanitarian norms, and you have even determined “that these attacks should be investigated and those found responsible will bear the consequences of their actions.”
We have great difficulty in understanding the reasons for this deliberate and false deceit on your part. As Secretary General of the United Nations, we would have expected you to live up to the principles set out in the UN Charter requiring you and your staff to “refrain from actions which might reflect on [your] position as international officials responsible only to the Organization.”
To lay the blame so blatantly and falsely on Israel, while totally ignoring the continued, willful and indiscriminate aggression by Hamas against Israel’s citizens, its utter disregard of humanitarian norms, and Hamas’s cynical violation of the basic rights to life of its own civilian population, you are undermining and discrediting your own position as Secretary General, as well as undermining the guiding principles set out in the Charter, and discrediting the organization.
We are shocked at your utter disregard of the fact that the very UN premises of which you accuse Israel of attacking, have been cynically abused by Hamas and used as store-houses for ammunition, and launching pads for rockets.
Rather than falsely accusing Israel, one might have expected that as the executive head of the UN, you would have admitted responsibility of the UN for such abuse of its facilities, and instituted a thorough inquiry as to how and why UNRWA facilities were placed at the disposal of the Hamas terror organization, how and why the UN officials responsible for such facilities permitted this situation to occur, and why those rockets and other weapons that were discovered in such facilities were transferred to Hamas, for their continued use against Israel’s citizens.
In permitting the storage of weapons, and in transferring such weapons into the hands of Hamas, the UN has in fact permitted itself to become accessory to the commission of war crimes.
We expect and demand that you, as Secretary General and executive head of the UN, immediately establish a high-level inquiry with a view to thoroughly investigating these crimes and ensuring that those found responsible will bear the consequences of their actions.
Mr. Secretary General, your exaggerated, selective, biased and often false accusations against Israel and your total disregard of the truth, have irreparably discredited you and the UN.
Sincerely,
Alan Baker, Ambassador (ret’), Attorney Nachi Eyal,
Director, International Action Division, CEO, Legal Forum for Israel

Here’s the truth:
The most effective weapon that Hamas wielded against Israel throughout Operation Protective Edge was its manipulation of civilian casualty numbers and images.

The distorted information was used to provoke hate campaigns against Israel and/or Jews worldwide and to misrepresent Israel’s self-defense as a calculated massacre of helpless civilians.
Some of the ploys were cynical beyond belief.
Photos of dead bodies from the Syrian civil war were recycled as Gazan victims of Israeli malevolence. Even pictures of the Fogel family children, slaughtered inside their Itamar home in 2011 by Palestinian terrorists, were presented as Arabs murdered by Israeli troops.
Footage from the emergency room at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City was rerun continually as if chronicling new incidents. Patients brought in due to disease, accidents and domestic violence were exhibited as casualties of deliberate Israeli barbarity.
But none of this rivaled the numbers game.
Practically all “martyr statistics” depended on the word of one man – Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Dr. Ashraf al-Kudra. Unchallenged, he could raise numbers capriciously and exponentially.
His assertions became gospel, parroted religiously by most media organizations, and he could finagle the ratios of combatants versus noncombatants, of children versus adults, of men versus women. The “Israel disproportionality” canard, smacking of the medieval blood libel, was thus crucially underpinned.
The upshot was that Hamas provided the so-called “objective data” with which Israel was walloped. It was Hamas that told foreign onlookers that Israel targeted small children and elderly women.
Nevertheless, painstaking analysis of available figures is under way at the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Center near Herzliya. Its in-depth breakdown of the data reveals that nearly half of the Gazan fatalities were terrorists killed in action. Whether or not they wore uniforms or something akin to them, it was clear Hamas had ordered that they not be identified as fighters.
In fact, the ratio of noncombatant to combatant casualties in Gaza (approximately 1:1) is uncommonly low in the history of urban warfare and attests to extreme caution by the IDF (especially given Hamas’s predilection for using noncombatants as human shields and firing from residential areas including schools.

In addition, the terrorists’ fire often accidentally (or not so accidentally) fire into their own population centers.
