Why Is the UN Blaming the Jews? - The Daily Beast
Bernard-Henri Levy, in his blog post explains why the world is once again about to gang up on Israel: "Next month, the nations of the world will meet in Geneva to talk about racism. The philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy says the whole thing is a sham, a setup to blame the world’s ills on Israel. We must boycott."

Comment: A major UN conference on the evils of racism, racial discrimination, zenophobia and intolerance would find many offenders in many countries all over the world. It would make little sense to single out Israel, a pluralistic and democratic state surrounded by monoculture - Islam only - states, but it is a certainty that Israel will be branded as the #1 offender, far ahead of Zimbabwe, Sudan, or any other repressive human-rights violating dictatorship you could name. We will be watching the conference, of course, but I don't expect any other outcome.

To the non-believer I would ask that they accept this sad spectacle as a challenge and a road to faith. Ask: why does the world hate the Jews? Think about it, consider the question carefully, as to why this people has been hated for so long in human history and by so many people and countries all over the world. What makes them different? Ask that question, start a journey and follow the path and it will lead you to Jesus.
