The United Nations has a dagger to the throat of Israel ( 01-12-09 )
God certainly used the United Nations to help set the state of Israel on its way in 1948, but ever since 1948 the U.N. has held a dagger to the throat of Israel. The U.N. has been consistent in taking the side of the Arab Islamic nations against Israel in every situation. The war with Hamas is no exception.
According to Emet News Services the U.N. is still bias.
"ISRAEL IGNORES UN RESOLUTION; CONTINUES FIGHT AGAINST
TERRORISTS
The Israeli Security Cabinet voted Friday to continue Operation Cast Lead in
Gaza despite a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an
immediate ceasefire. "The State of Israel has never agreed that any outside body
would determine its right to defend the security of its citizens," "The IDF will
continue operations in order to defend Israeli citizens and will carry out the
missions with which it has been assigned in the operation."
On Thursday evening, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1860
calling for a ceasefire in Gaza after Western powers agreed to Arab demands. The
resolution "calls for an immediate, durable and fully respected ceasefire" that
will lead to a "full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza." It also condemns
terror against civilians and calls on Israel to open Gaza crossings and to allow
humanitarian aid into Gaza, a move Israel already has done. The Hamas terrorist
organization is never mentioned in the resolution. The resolution was presented
by the United Kingdom. After standing with Israel in previous meetings, the
United States abstained on this vote. [Arutz Sheva, Los Angeles Times]

2. UN RESOLUTION ONE-SIDED; HAMAS NEVER MENTIONED
The UN Security Council has adopted Resolution 1860 calling for a cease-fire in
Israel's war with Hamas. It is a remarkable document that acknowledges only one
party in the conflict and it is not the one that started the war. While Israel
is mentioned five times in the resolution, the word "Hamas" shockingly does not
appear once. Well, it would be shocking to anyone unfamiliar with the UN's
history. The resolution talks about Israeli withdrawal, the humanitarian issues
in Gaza, and declared that Gaza will be part of a Palestinian [sic] state.
Nowhere, however, does it condemn the more than 450 rockets that Hamas has fired
just since the war began two weeks ago, let alone the roughly 6,000 it launched
at Israeli civilians in the preceding three years. What is more surprising is
that the Bush Administration abstained on the resolution even though it had
earlier said it would not accept such a one-sided resolution, and a few years
ago said it would not support resolutions that d
id not explicitly mention the name of the terrorist organizations responsible
for violence against Israel. As in the case of the Hizb'Allah War, the UN has
stepped in to prevent Israel from exercising its legal right, and moral
obligation to defend its citizens, and once again the world just watched.

I believe when Obama is in the White House so will be the United Nations and we must decide whose side we are really on. Are we going to help hold the dagger or rip it out of the U.N.'s hand? Yahweh God has chosen Israel - will we?
