If this UN gave funding to any organizations classified as terror groups by any other state, there would be a massive outcry and such funding would never be tolerated. But this is just par for the course for the corrupt and compromised, deeply anti-Israel UN.
“UN to fund 2 orgs. Israel deems terrorist organizations,” Israel National News, December 20, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Today, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan today (Monday) sent an urgent letter to the UN Secretary-General following the publication of the work plan of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for 2022, which includes planned donations to two organizations that have been defined as terror organizations by Israel.
Ambassador Erdan wrote in his letter, “It has come to my attention that OCHA, in its Humanitarian Response Plan for 2022, has proposed to partner with the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC)1 on Food Security, and the Union of Health Work Committees on matters related to Health and Nutrition.2 Both of these organizations have been designated as terrorist organizations under Israeli law. The former – as you are aware – is one of the six entities that was designated on 22 October 2021 for serving as the long arm of the internationally designated PFLP terrorist organization, as detailed in my attached letter, while the latter was designated already back in July 2015 under the Emergency Defense Regulations (1945) for its serving as a front for the PFLP as well.”
“It is outrageous that an organization with a mission to ensure international peace and security would partner with organizations that directly and materially support terrorism and provide the PFLP — a designated terrorist organization worldwide, including in Israel, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada and Japan — with its financial lifeline.”…

I had not noticed it at first but I think one of the reasons those Muslim countries hate Israel so much is because it is essentially a Western culture. Muslims have allied themselves with Leftists because Muslims know:
1. The ECONOMIC policy, socialist in nature ( the government controlling the economy) of Leftists will soon DESTROY the West’s economy.
2. A ruined economy= deterioration of the MILITARY forces
3. Also Muslims have seen Leftists tell LIES to their own people, useful lies, the most useful being: Western civilization is the Worst in History.
4. Maybe the most useful is the one that says the greatest expression of Western racism is the African slave trade of 1441-1850.
In the case of the US,yes, even though it took in only 400,000 of the 12 MILLION sent from Africa in 400 years, legally they had NO rights, 100% property.
But,consider this:
a) It is thought that from 1441-1850 MILLIONS of Africans DIED or were KILLED , and BEFORE they ever saw a European.
b) It was Africans (not Europeans) who went into the continent and captured millions and millions of other Africans.
We know some were KILLED in the attacks.
Others DIED along the trip to the coast.
Scholars think around 12 MILLION died that way, Never made it to the European buyer.
Doomer says
America began well with the Northwest Ordinance written by Jefferson in 1787 where in what later became the following 6 states slavery was illegal ( all East of the Mississipi and North of the Ohio river:
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota.
Then Jefferson,as president, ended the slave trade in 1808. Then, almost nothing until 1865 ( end of slavery).
I used to admire ALEXANDER HAMILTON, the Founding Father,who wrote “The Federalist Papers”,
about how to interpret the constitution. I thought he was a great abolitionist. They have even made a musical about him in 2015. A success.
But he was a slave owner ( of a few ),when slavery was legal in New York.
He never even wrote any book with arguments (economic and religious and philosophical) of why slavery is evil. I had read he (who was born in and grew up in the Caribbean )
was in favor of introducing the COARTADA law, which he would have known of, being from the West Indies. I tried to verify,found nothing, so I guess he didn’t.
a) The coartada law was a law in the Spanish empire that said a slave had the RIGHT to Buy his Freedom,
and at the Lowest Market Price,
and the master could Not Refuse or Later Revoke the agreement.
b) If Hamilton or Jefferson had been able to get that law accepted, then maybe the civil war would not have occurred.
c) A slave would go to a government official and file a coartada demand. The master would be called, have to sign it.
Payment would be in instalments.
d) In the Spanish empire, because of the coartada law, the percentage of slaves was low: In 1776 it was enormous, 11 million people ( compared to 1.5 million
in the 13 colonies). From the Philippines to Mexico,Central America, half of South America, plus 70% of what is now the US ( West Florida, East Florida, Louisiana territory and the American southwest ).
In the 13 colonies slaves were 20% of the population ( 300,000).
In the Spanish empire,because of the coartada law, slaves were around 300,000 ( about 2.5% of the population ).
e) How was it possible? One slave could do little, but the empire authorized ( and it would have helped in the US ),
the creation of COFRADIAS de NEGROS ( Black Brotherhoods):
which were associations of free blacks who helped poor blacks, and one of their functions was to RAISE MONEY to Free Slaves, by helping the slaves pays their coartada installments.
e) In the CODE NOIR (1685) of France, there was no coartada, but when Spain became the ruler of Lousiana it was introduced, not in every detail, due to French opposition, but enough.
One result was that in NEW ORLEANS, the capital, FREE blacks became 47% of the total Black population.
There was a fire in New Orleans, and the downtown was rebuilt, in what is called the FRENCH QUARTER ( St.Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square ( formerly
Plaza de Armas/ Place d’Armes ) and the Cabildo ( Town Hall), and a lot of houses with Wrought-Iron Balconies everywhere ),and the governor
decided to rebuild it. It is really in the Spanish architectural style of the time,so the title French quarter is inaccurate, and the governor used SLAVES and the coartada system to build all that.
The slaves Paid for their Freedom with Their Work ( not with Money). Again, too bad neither Jefferson nor Hamilton tried to introduce it.

The French founded New Orleans (named for a French city, in fact) and had control of the city from 1682 to 1769 and 1801 (nominally) to 1803.
The French Quarter was founded as a military-style grid of seventy squares in 1718 by French Canadian naval officer Jean Baptiste Bienville–same year as the founding of New Orleans itself. In 1762 Louis XV transferred Louisiana to his Bourbon cousin Charles III of Spain, and the city continued under Spanish rule until 1801 when it briefly returned to the French before passing to the United States in the Louisiana purchase..

UN to fund two organizations that Israel classifies as terrorist groups
…………….
Disgusting–but given the UN being dominated by Islamic and other unfree countries, this scarcely surprises…
Kashyap says
UNO has become a incompetent organization with a bias towards Islamic terror, meaning ignoring brutal beasts inflict death on peace loving non Muslims.
Frances Weingarten says
One can only hope that the UN comes to its senses and removes the two organizations that Israel has informed them are classified as terrorist groups! We very much hope that the UN does the right thing for ALL its people!
Sincerely,

An uplifting article. When Leftists are screaming and crying about Islamophobia and McCarthyism, then you know good things are happening.
I think that parts of Europe (including in its leadership) are finally starting to tackle the problem of Islam more seriously. While they might slap some silly names to the real threat, they are going after Muslim groups and organizations.
Baby steps but I’m liking where this is heading. Some Muslims are even helping out our side, for selfish reasons no doubt. Hopefully this drip, drip, drip, turns into a flood against Islam in the next 5-10 years. Article below:

The UN has lost sight of its purpose to be fair and to uphold HUMN RIGHTS. Allowing countries with terrible human rights records the right to vote in these matters is ridiculous.
