Joel Mowbray, writing in The National Review, says the U.N. will likely ignore the Israeli-compiled “Arafat Files”:
Though U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan was champing at the bit to examine possible war crimes in Jenin where Israeli soldiers were fighting armed combatants, he expressed no interest whatsoever in investigating the role of Arafat or other Palestinian leaders in the Passover Massacre, which claimed far more innocent civilian lives.
For the same reason that Annan has resisted looking into the slaughter of innocent Israelis, he will not pursue the solid evidence of Arafat’s role in directing terror: The U.N. has never been, and likely will never be, fair to Israel. Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney offers a cutting assessment for the motive behind the international body’s biased record: ‘The U.N. is a hateful and anti-Semitic mobocracy.’
How’s that for deliciously blunt?
[…] During the latest intifada, the U.N. itself has played a role in funding and facilitating the terrorist infrastructure, including in Jenin. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) created the refugee camp in Jenin that produced fully 22 suicide bombers — more than one per month during the intifada. UNRWA also administers the schools in Jenin, which make Chinese reeducation camps look tame by comparison.
Palestinian students in Jenin are indoctrinated into Arafat’s culture of death, taught that ‘Palestine’ exists not only in the West Bank and Gaza, but also in all of Israel. This climate of seething anti-Semitism has been willfully and knowingly advanced by UNRWA, and is doubtless part of the reason terrorist outfits have been so successful in recruiting suicide bombers in Jenin.
The most enduring action by the U.N., however, has been its steadfast refusal to condemn the death to Israel clause of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s charter. In the same Oslo agreement that called for the creation of the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian National Council (PNC), the PNC was given a May, 1996 deadline for repealing, among other sections, Article 15 of the Palestinian National Charter, which calls for all Arab nations to support an ‘armed revolution’ to achieve the ‘elimination’ of the state of Israel.
Peace process. Diplomatic solutions. International community. Land for peace.
…Yeah, whatever…

I am a <b>huge</b> fan of these no-nonsense assesments! In a world full of equivocations–this kind of candor is like oxygen at a sulphur spring!
Me too, T.L.
Rumsfeld and Netanyahu currently top my list of prominent human air fresheners.
