"It was just another day at the office for UN officials. As it has done innumerable times in the last 50 years, on June 12 the General Assembly devoted an entire day of debate, procedural wrangling, and voting to an effort to condemn Israel. As was the case with almost every previous effort of this kind, it succeeded.

While what goes on in the United Nations is, in a sense, just talk, it's far more dangerous than that.

As Obama's State Department certified, a 'rising tide of anti-Semitism' is sweeping across Europe and Southeast Asia. Arab and Islamic hatred for Israel, as well as some Western elites' belief that the Jews are the one people on the planet who aren't entitled to a homeland, drive this trend..."
