What Has the Israel-Palestinian Issue Taught Us About the U.N.? Don't Bother Playing by the Rules

The U.N. has by and large proven to be the very same colossal failure that its older brother in the League of Nations had been - however in a suddenly politically incorrect world, we've taken to being accustomed to just letting the world get pushed around, rather than actually physically doing anything to enforce the policies that any of us so stalwartly claim are so important to international law. Even if we omit decades of corruption including the manipulation of entire nations' economies so that certain key individuals could line their pocket books, the very unenforceable idea of "international law" and the international double standard applied by the so called "united" Nations is excuse enough to fully bring about its dissolution.

It can't come as any surprise that an organization that can't decide if it's a confederation, a federation, or simply a pulpit of equal voices with no standing army except those that are contributed to it almost exclusively by non-Western nations has a hard time catching on in a world where it promises to eradicate warfare entirely. The organization loosely follows its predecessor in that it was really set about to prevent another world war, but with its harsh "forced equality" and equal representation without equal contribution while lax methods on enforcing any of its policies, its simply hastening along the next global conflict now that we've all had a chance to catch our breath.

But it can't simply be stated that the U.N. has corroded to this point, as any moral or legal authority that it had was kicked out from underneath it when it really had its first chance to prove itself in the Israel-Palestine issue. To this very day, the U.N. continues to stumble, falter, and ultimately make itself look like the complete waste of blue-helmeted time it is as it remains the proverbial pawn in a kind of international game of chess - that is, a game of chess if you decide that pawns can all move the same as queens, get six moves every turn, and aren't allowed to be taken off the board by any other move.

The United Nations was asked a relatively simple request following the aftermath of World War II - let the Jews find a place where they couldn't be rounded up and shoved into ovens. Where did they pick? The historic homeland from which they were evicted, ironically a place that was instrumental in assisting in their annihilation. Of course this is a controversial statement, because in our highly charged, politically correct world, we're not supposed to link people to Hitler if they're not White Christians, but unfortunately, it's very difficult to escape the title Arab Fuhrer and photographs of high ranking Palestinian Arab officials organizing Arab Waffen-SS.

Of course the entire prospect of the creation of Israel was something of a blunder on the U.N.'s part - it is one thing to grant the Jews their own historic land, but their requests to, when lodged into a virtual sea of hostility, have any kind of buffer zone from Arab invasion was by and large ignored. Somehow, the U.N. could only sarcastically ask "Who in this world hates Jews?"

Naturally, just as the Israelis expected, invasion, after invasion, after invasion was the immediate response to the fact that a nation had been formed in every way by the U.N. playbook. For the first time in history, the United Nations was forming nations, and the Israelis were doing everything right - but apparently, that wasn't quite enough - and every step along the way has allowed itself to get muddled to the point where we're at today, where the very internet is a very dangerous place to stumble around in if you in any way have any kind of Zionist feelings.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about this entire notion is that the Palestinian movement, the proverbial aggrieved status upon which the Arabs consistently play, was not really something that began bothering anyone in the world until 1967, when the Palestinians began to be persecuted by the Hashemite ruling party in Jordan. Due to the crippling defeat suffered by Jordan during the Six Day War, the Palestinian people suddenly became great targets of scapegoating and frustration, and were largely thrown onto the Israelis as a result.

Bafflingly enough, the Jewish state has by and large welcomed these people into their societies, every formidable rumor that the Palestinians can throw at the Israelis is effectively demolished by the existence of Arabs on the Knesset and equal Arab citizenship rights. Naturally, the cameras don't point to these individuals, but rather the areas where Israeli tanks try to put down the unfortunately common rocket attack on Israeli settlements.

Somewhere between 1947, when the Jews attempted to do everything the world asked of them before they were allowed to avoid another extermination ploy, and now we are finding ourselves not only rewriting history to include a people who did not involve themselves in the entire conflict for twenty years after the fact, we are actually supporting the scumbags that launch rockets at preschools.

If there's one real truth to this entire debacle, it's that playing by the U.N.'s rules is just stupid if you're not an underdog Arab terrorist.
