This story comes to us from FOXNEWS;
The United Nations detained an outspoken critic and booted her from its New York headquarters in what the woman, a human rights watchdog, is calling an effort to silence her opposition to the world body.
Anne Bayefsky claims that as retaliation for giving a two-minute impromptu speech defending Israel, her 25-year career of monitoring the U.N. is now in jeopardy — likely to be placed in the hands of a committee chaired by the genocidal regime in Sudan.
Bayefsky gets special access to U.N. meetings in her capacity as the director of a non-governmental organization, the Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust at New York's Touro College.
But the longtime U.N. observer has found herself in what she calls a "Kafkaesque" gray zone, where the U.N. confiscated her credentials, then denied to reporters that her access had been blocked.
"This is no accident," she told FoxNews.com, arguing that she is being denied access to vital meetings concerning her prime focus: defending Israel. "This is keeping [the U.N.'s] major critic absent during the heart of the year."
Following a vote Nov. 5 at the U.N. General Assembly, a microphone was set up outside the UNGA chamber for delegates to tout their endorsement of the controversial Goldstone Report, which accuses Israel of committing war crimes during its invasion of Gaza last winter.
Without an invitation, Bayefsky approached the empty podium to offer what she thought would be a counter-balance to speeches from the Libyan president of the UNGA and the Palestinian observer, who both supported the resolution.
"I didn't expect that there would be a problem at all," said Bayefsky, who noted that she and other NGOs have spoken there in the past without incident. (Archived U.N. video shows an official from the NGO Human Rights Watch speaking in praise of the U.N. at the same podium in May 2007.)
Bayefsky blasted the Goldstone Report and called the U.N. a "laughingstock" for singling out Israel and ignoring human rights violations committed by the terrorist organization Hamas against Israeli and Palestinian civilians during the three-week campaign in December and January.
"This is a resolution that purports to be evenhanded; it is anything but," she said of the document approved by the UNGA. "It is a travesty — it calls for accountability, and in fact what we see instead is impunity for the Palestinian side."
Soon after she finished speaking, Bayefsky was swarmed by four U.N. security guards, who brought her to their security office, confiscated her NGO pass and kicked her out of the building, she said.
But the U.N. told reporters a different story at a press conference Tuesday — claiming that there has been no change in status for Bayefsky, even as she continues to sit in limbo.
"The credentials of her organization are not changed at this stage," said Farhan Haq, spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. "It's possible in the future that there could be a review, but at this stage there's been no removal of credentials from that NGO or from Ms. Bayefsky."
At one point does ne begin to question the absolute infiltration of the United Nations by the islamic agenda? It is no secret that this organization has long since been a haven for Marxists and despot dictators, but the infestation of the UN by the OIC and the muslim agenda in general has become much too large for anyone to ignore. The fact that Farhan Haq, a muslim and obvious lover of all things Jewish, is the mouth piece of the bumbling idiot and Hamas sympathizer, Ban Ki Moon, tells us just how far gone this problem has really become. Just as the Marxist cowards of European leadership have appeased the every desire of their domestic muslim infestation for votes, the UN does so with the hopes of gaining more favor with the OIC and winning favor for their nations in securing certain unmentionable natural resources currently under muslim control.
It is quite obvious, that when such a small group of people like the Jews are involved, the UN would rather twist and bend to popular opinion than maintain any sort of principles or humanity. It is like a tipping of dominoes. First the muslims cry foul and cut off oil shipments, then the rest of the world decides that perhaps six million more dead Jews is not such a high price to pay for the favor and appreciation of more than a billion of the world's muslims. The world as a body, as found in the United Nations, is collectively surrendering all manner of decency in favor of the easier and more profitable route. It also now appears that America is now leaning in this very direction under Barack Obama as well. This sort of mass exodus by the entire world, away from honor, courage, principle, and decency is simply staggering. It is as if the entire globe decided that appeasing the world's most despicable and barbaric animals, who happen be in control of the one resource everyone needs, and who happen to exist in such vast numbers, is simply more acceptable than steering the course of morality.
It makes no difference to me of course; I will fight and die for Israel no matter the size, length, or girth of the line of backstabbing cowards which line up against her. If the world decides that the Jews are in the way of gaining muslim favor, which they shall never get, then so be it. But I can assure you one thing; we will not make it easy for you. The funny thing about life is that we have seen so many of you "great" empires and conglomerates come and go; yet we remain. It must really burn you people up inside that you just can't seem to get rid of us. Most leftists and muslims make threat after threat of course, and promise hell and eternal destruction, yet the opposite always seems to happen. This, my Marxist muslim friends, will always b the case. So kick and scream all you want down there in your little UN building, Israel will fulfill its destiny and maintain its security in exactly its own terms and conditions. There isn't an Obama, a mullah, an imam, or a Marxist UN cretin who can do anything about that.
