Drama @UN: Former Hamasnik Confronts PA

My readers may recall a prior speech by Mosab Hassan Yousef speaking to the Jerusalem Post Conference.  This current video [above] is much shorter but equally as dramatic, as he now addresses the Palestinian Authority.  Bravo!

Son of Hamas Leader in Plea for Palestinian Rights

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas leader, slammed the Palestinian Authority for its human rights abuses at the UN Human Rights Council headquarters in Geneva. He said the PA and its security forces "kidnap Palestinian students from campus and torture them in your jails. You torture your political rivals. The suffering of the Palestinian people is the outcome of your selfish political interests. You are the greatest enemy of the Palestinian people. If Israel did not exist, you would have no one to blame."
   

"Finally, you use this platform to mislead the international community, and to mislead Palestinian society to believe that Israel is responsible for the problems you create."

And while we're on the subject of the United Nations, check out Israel's sense of humor!  Creativity is alive an well.  See the gem below:

Israel Gifts UNESCO with Arch of Titus Replica 
- Raphael Ahren

Israel's ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama-Hacohen, handed a replica of a frieze from the Arch of Titus, a monument commemorating Rome's victory over Jerusalem, to the head of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, in a not-so-subtle critique of the agency's resolutions ignoring Jewish links to the holy city.
 

The replica will be exhibited in UNESCO's Paris headquarters as a "greeting from the historical truth about the existence of two Temples on the Temple Mount," said Shama-Hacohen.
  

"2,000 years ago the Romans destroyed the Temple and removed it from the Jewish people. And today, UNESCO is trying to destroy and remove the history of Jerusalem from the Jewish people."
  

"When the executive board of UNESCO adopts every six months a resolution that denies the connection between the Jewish people and the Temple Mount, they are not only adopting a political resolution, they are adopting a resolution that negates the right of the State of Israel to exist and the Jewish people's right of self-determination."
  

Such resolutions "pave the way for spreading anti-Semitism and terrorism."
