UN Appoints Pyromaniac as Fire Chief

Israel Matzav:

If you want an indication of how far under the bus the Obama administration has thrown Israel, consider this. When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad got up to speak at the UN on Monday, Israeli Ambassador Ron Prossor stormed out.

Disgracefully, the American delegation stayed in its seats.

Israel's UN envoy Ron Prosor demonstratively walked out of a UN session Monday on the rule of law when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the podium to speak.

"There is no justice and no judge," Prosor said, after leaving the hall with one of his aides.

"The leader of an outlaw country that is a serial violator of the fundamental principles of the rule of law has no place in this hall" he said. "It is a shame and disgrace to give someone like him the opportunity to speak on such an important topic."

Prosor said that letting Ahmadinejad address the UN on the issue of the rule of law was like "appointing a pyromaniac as fire chief."

 

 

We Americans are disgraced this day. How disgusting.

I heard Assemblyman Dov Hyken of New York -- a lifetime Democrat who is working hard to defeat Obama because he's come to see him as an arch-enemy of the Jewish people -- predict to Neil Cavuto today that Obama would get no more than 68% of the Jewish vote -- 10% less than in 2008. This was in response to Cavuto's question as to why so many Jews supported Obama. I have yet to see any evidence that Hyken is wrong; every indicator is that while Obama will almost surely get fewer Jewish votes than in 2008, he will just as surely get well over half the Jewish vote. I wonder if these Jewish supporters would -- had they been there -- have walked out with Ambassador Prosor or sat supinely by and listened while Ahmadinejad spewed poison at them. I'd be willing to bet my last dollar they'd have sat supinely by -- and joined in the post-speech applause. We Jews are in much bigger trouble than we dare to admit -- even to ourselves. Can any people call itself a "people" when it has so many defectors in its midst?

Mannie, as usual, you nailed it here. Put it another way, "if I'm not for myself, who will be for me?"
