The UN provides a ready platform for advocates of the destruction of the state of Israel and February 24, 2009 was no exception. In a main conference room at UN New York Headquarters, the Permanent Mission of Bolivia and an NGO called Nord-Sud XXI co-sponsored a presentation and panel discussion called "Self-Determination: International law and politics." One of the panelists was Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General and also a founder of Nord-Sud XXI. Clark chose to use his UN platform to applaud an end to a Jewish state.
He said: "...a one state solution would be terrific; it would mean the end of Zionism."
He continued his rant against Israel's creation with: "What we have done to the Palestinian people is terrible. The recent bombing of Gaza - that was nothing compared to what happened in 1948."
The UN had plenty of notice of exactly what this UN-accredited NGO was about when it made its facilities available for what was a public meeting and advertised it on its Daily Journal.
