The UN did what?

United Nations Bankrolled Latest Anti-israel Propaganda.

The United Nations bankrolled the production of thousands of banners, bumper stickers, mugs, and T-shirts bearing the slogan “Today Gaza and Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem,” which have been widely distributed to Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, according to a U.N. official.

The U.N. support of the Palestinian Authority’s propaganda operation in the midst of the Israeli evacuation of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip has provoked outrage from Israeli and Jewish leaders, who are blaming Turtle Bay for propagating an inflammatory message that they say encourages Palestinian Arab violence.

“The intifada worked. That’s contextually what this message is saying,” the director of U.N. affairs for the Washington-based Jewish organization B’nai Brith, Amy Goldstein, said.

The Arabic slogan, which refers to disputed territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, has become ubiquitous in Gaza, where Israeli soldiers this week are evacuating 21 settlements. It’s served as the central message of a Palestinian Arab effort to spin the withdrawal as a victory.

A special representative of the United Nations Development Program in the Gaza Strip, Timothy Rothermel, told Fox News that his office provided financial support for the production of materials that make up the Palestinian Authority’s propaganda campaign, timed to coincide with the Gaza pullout. The Palestinian Authority’s withdrawal committee developed and produced the posters and other items using U.N. money, Mr. Rothermel said.

In addition to the slogan “Today Gaza and Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem,” many of the materials displayed the logo of the United Nations Development Program, which operates in 166 countries and spends about half a billion dollars a year.

The Palestinian Authority’s top leaders have echoed the slogan in recent public comments. “The process of national struggle will continue until we reach Jerusalem and celebrate there and in the West Bank,” its prime minister, Ahmed Qurei, said. according to a report in the Jerusalem Post.

There is more, if you can stand reading it. Then check out this story about the fellow who went to supper and had JEW COUPLE show up on his receipt and his credit card bill. Anti-Semitism is more than rearing its head, these days.

Once again, we see that some people do not want to hear that the Jews have history and some claims to primacy in Jerusalem.

Do you suppose the UN paid for these large banners and maps, too?
