2014 - The UN Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
(Jerusalem Post) Anne Bayefsky - All visitors to UN Headquarters in New York, including school children from across America, walk off the elevator straight into the "Palestine" exhibit. According to the display, Palestinians are the new Jews, having suffered an "exodus" in 1948. Total Arab rejection of a Jewish state (contrary to the 1947 UN partition resolution) and repeated efforts to annihilate Israel are not mentioned. Instead, in 1948 "the first Arab-Israeli war breaks out." There are triumphant photos of Yasser Arafat and lots of photos of miserable-looking Arab children. Not a Jewish victim in sight. The writer is director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust.
