ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES

Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid, was invited to speak at the United Nations:

Mr. Chair,

I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers?  A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land. Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs. 

So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home? 

Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty.  Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic. What Israel is doing to the IRGC, stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons, is a gift to humanity. 

There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived. 

I don't believe in miracles, but this is one. 

So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel? Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace. 

How long are you planning to keep doing this? I guess, until someone comes along and takes care of you instead of me. What if… no one does? Someone will.
