(Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Amb. Alan Baker - Once, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was considered a credible and reputable professional organization. Today, intent on undermining the universal character of UNESCO, the Palestinian leadership has taken the organization hostage. UNESCO's special character has been gravely and irreparably polluted and prejudiced in order to delegitimize Israel. The Palestinian leadership's fixation with delegitimizing Israel is clearly a "poke in the eye" of the new U.S. administration and an ominous message to all seekers of peace. Nobody should take the May 2 UNESCO anti-Israel resolution seriously. It is nothing more than a non-binding, politicized expression of the political opinion of the extremist, anti-Israel states voting for it. It has no legal status whatsoever. The Palestinian leadership has, once again, devoted its international efforts to abusing an international organization in order to delegitimize Israel, rather than to instill mutual good faith and seek peace. The writer served as legal adviser and deputy director-general of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 2017-05-04 00:00:00Full Article
