In the process of researching a final term paper on the establishment of Israel and the United Nations, I was taken aback how the United Nations, a international institution, created to uphold the rights of all, has become a vehicle for an anti- Israeli agenda. Anti -Semitic rhetoric is alive and well at the U.N.
There is a petition online, urging the United Nations to reconsider its current philosophy and do away with committees that support an anti-Israeli and anti -Semitic mindset.

Whether or not one decides to sign this petition, I think it is important to read this web page to understand how the Israelis have been forced to sit on the sidelines while others condemn or decide their fate. There must be a dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis, but it must be an objective dialogue, not colored by the agendas of either side.
The United Nations must somehow rid itself of personal agendas if it is to be an international objective body ready to protect the rights of all its members.
