UN, Scrap Your Hollow Holocaust Commemoration

"The United Nations recently observed International Holocaust Remembrance Day to mark the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on Jan. 27, 1945. The UN resolution establishing this commemoration in 2005 to honor Holocaust victims also condemns 'all manifestations of religious intolerance, incitement, harassment or violence against persons or communities based on ethnic origin or religious belief, whenever they occur.'

But with its obsessive hostility toward Israel, the UN repeatedly has sidestepped those stated principles, culminating weeks ago in a resolution that singles out the Jewish state while ignoring repeated incitement against it. In this context, any UN-held Holocaust commemoration is nothing more than hollow pageantry...

United Nations, please dispense with this meaningless memorial. Against a backdrop of horrific human-rights abuses in many countries and terrorism aimed at Jews and other innocents, your platform is laser-focused on Israel-bashing. You've even obliterated, via UNESCO, the historic link between the Jewish people and Judaism's most sacred sites.

But your shameful Resolution 2334, with the Obama administration as your enabler, was the most chilling for me as I reflect on the sheer enormity of my family's Holocaust experiences...

United Nations, you are a poor role model for any course correction. So spare me the theatrics and the empty gestures. I don't need your disingenuous sympathy for one day a year while you isolate and demonize Jews during the rest..."
