UN Division on Palestinian Rights Makes No Contribution to Peace
(Jerusalem Post) Daniel S. Mariaschin - The UN Division on Palestinian Rights (DPR) invited our organization "to participate in the United Nations International Meeting on the Question of Jerusalem," taking place in Ankara, Turkey, and sponsored by the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP). Both the Division and the Committee were established by the UN in the wake of the infamous Zionism=Racism resolution. We won't be attending. Together with the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices, these committees serve as an in-house public relations operation for the Palestinian side in the conflict with Israel. These activities only raise Palestinian expectations to unmeetable levels. The writer is executive vice president of B'nai B'rith International.
