15,000 Demand UN Fires False Photo Tweeter
April 3, 2012 14:33 by Simon PloskerOver 15,000 of you signed our petition calling on the UN to take the appropriate action and fire false photo tweeter Khulood Badawi and we delivered. HonestReporting is privileged to be based in Jerusalem at the heart of many of the media stories that you read. And to make sure that the UN got the message, HR CEO Joe Hyams took advantage of our physical location and personally delivered a hard copy to the OCHA headquarters in Jerusalem.
It’s rare that HonestReporting circulates a petition. However, the UN left us with little choice. Those of you attempting to register your disgust at Khulood Badawi’s false photo tweet were met with a virtual firewall as UN emails bounced and the website of the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) prevented complaints getting through.
Upon arrival at OCHA HQ, a staff member accepted the petition and on returning after a few minutes, claimed to have presented it to the head of OCHA’s office. The organization refused to give any further comment or update.
Our exposé reached all the way to the UN building in Turtle Bay, New York, as Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor publicly called on the UN to dismiss Badawi. Together with our petition, we know that the UN has got the message.
Joe Hyams said:
Badawi has proven unreliable as a source of information by using her Twitter account to spread false and harmful information about Israel.
She has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing or apologize for spreading propaganda. It is inappropriate for a UN employee to engage in political activism and the UN must disassociate itself from her immediately.
It’s time for the UN to take the message on board and do the right thing – fire Khulood Badawi.

Let the UN have it. Let’s organize a world-wide competition campaign honoring the UN for posterity. The $64K Q is thus:
WHAT IS THE WORST UN VIOLATION IN THE UN’S HISTORY?
A: The multi-state Arab attack on a UN established state in 1948. It was implemented with a declared goal of genocide. It was perpetrated after the attacking states actually voted in the Motion which established Israel. The UN was flaunted when the votes were completed – the attack occurred the next day after the results came in. The same Arabs now cling to an unending list of corrupt UN Resolutions stacked for years against Israel. The Arabs in Palestine were told they must leave and return after all the Jews are thrown into the sea [Non-confusing genocide].
For $64K:
WHAT IS THE UN RESOLUTION NUMBER FOR THE WORST CRIME IN THE UN’S HISTORY?
The winning plaque with the correct UN Resolution numbers will be donated to the Yad Museum. Easy – just quote the UN Resolution number of this greatest of UN violations in the UN’s history – and you win!

It is a sad commentary in and of itself that you could only get 15,000 people to sign the petition. Sure the U.N. will get a message – that not even Jews care about it that much. On the other hand, six million could have signed the petition and still the U.N. would not fire one of its own.

We Jews, have a right to live every where, including Gaza. Because, Gaza was and still belong to Israel. There was never been Palestine when Israel was established as a Jewish Homeland. Israel, is our Jewish Homeland and, we must care for it and love it. Where do we go if the Arabs kick us out? What would the Arabs do without Israel? Who would supply them food, water, medicine, technology to save every body lifes and money so, they can kill us? Israel supply them every thing and, unstead of thank Israel, Israel recive suiside bombers. If I would be in Israel, I would give them nothing. What does the UN knows about Jerusalem and the Jewish History? Jerusalem was the King David city since 1800TH and, not Mohamed city. All the places in Israel, it’s our, Jewish Homeland, period. What we need to do is to stop the Arabs occupation in Israel. Israel need to stop to support them I against the two states solution but, I support it otherwise. Let them create the Palestinian State and, will see what will happen, Will see. When the Arabs are lazy. They don’t want to get up their ass and go to work. Once they have their State, they will have to go to work and Israel will have to stop to support them by full program. And, if at least one rocket will land on Israel then, Israel will have a right to wipe them all off and take over what belong to Israel. Am Isroel Hi!

It is no secret the UN is controlled by the petroleum buying and petroleum selling anti semites. That is why the UN is not the organization you must look to for justice. It is also the organization that is going to destroy itself. The people of the United States are already talking about not funding this biased political group.
They have done nothing to promote peace in the world.
If they were ever to rule on the side of Israel, those country’s that did; would have their oil share reduced drastically.
It is only a matter of time until that group of buildings that they occupy will be put to better use.

Abie Werth: As the former Chief Economist of a major petroleum company (Atlantic Richfield–ARCO) I can tell you that we supported Israel where it counted–when Saudi Money was attempted to be used against Israel in the U .S. I often visited colleagues in Israel, both in the Industry and Academe, and we were quietly mutually helpful where it counted.
Should you not be informed, we were the company that discovered the oil in Alaska. Don’t be too hasty in condemning an entire industry because of some bad actors.

Mr. Sternlight; Maybe I did not make myself clear. I am not condeming the Oil Companies, The oil companies do not vote at the UN. I am condeming the countries that control the oil and the countries that are dependent on that oil. When countries that are dependent on oil vote, they should not want to anger those that supply that oil.

I know I am Christian; I know it may sound annoying to some… HOWEVER I found this very fitting to the subject at hand. Keep in mind the “Judge” is like the U.N. looking over the case concerning Khulood Badawi false photo tweet.
Luke18:
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually wear me out with her coming!’”
So basically the U.N. though EVIL… will eventually give in to our whining

Maybe this isn’t about the UN or the Arab Muslims. Maybe its about us and majestic sacred laws:
THAT ONE WHO POSSESSES EVIDENCE SHALL TESTIFY IN COURT
NOT TO DECIDE A CASE ON THE EVIDENCE OF A SINGLE WITNESS
NOT TO HEAR ONE OF THE PARTIES TO A SUIT IN THE ABSENCE OF THE OTHER PARTY
NOT TO TESTIFY FALSELY
TO REBUKE THE SINNER
AND IF ANY ONE SIN, IN THAT HE HEARETH THE VOICE OF ADJURATION, HE BEING A WITNESS, WHETHER HE HATH SEEN OR KNOWN, IF HE DO NOT UTTER IT, THEN HE SHALL BEAR HIS INIQUITY
“YOU SHALL NOT SEE YOUR FELLOWMAN’S INNOCENT BLOOD AND REMAIN IDLE”
“YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS”

Only 15,000 is indeed a greatly disappointing and painfully low number. We Jews just never learn.
I await a follow-up report from HR. Will they or won’t they dismiss that despicable woman?
