...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

The UN, again: More fun and games from our “friends” at the UN. This time the international body in the thrall of dastards and despots is once again calling upon the Juden to tear down the barrier they’ve built—the UN calls it a wall, even though the vast majority of it is fence—because of its “devastating” impact.

Yeah, it’s a real bummer when Arabs don’t have easy access to murder Jews. From Islam Online, up in arms about the ongoing Jewish infamy (I've bolded the most sick-making/unintentional laughter-induing bits):

CAIRO — Already cutting off thousands of Palestinian families, Israel's separation wall in the occupied West Bank will have a devastating impact on Palestinian livelihood if completed along its proposed route, the UN has warned.

"The Barrier compounds the fragmentation of the West Bank by creating non-contiguous enclaves of Palestinian communities and territory, which are isolated from each other and from the remainder of the West Bank," said the UN report released on Thursday, July 10.

The UN report, compiled by the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCH) and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said the wall swallows vast swathes of Palestinian lands.

"The majority of the route, approximately 87%, runs inside the West Bank and East Jerusalem (Al-Quds), rather than along the 1949 Armistice Line (Green Line).

It said the wall isolates nearly 9.8 percent of the West Bank, including Al-Quds.

"Approximately 35,000 West Bank Palestinians will be located between the Barrier and the Green Line, in addition to the majority of the approximately 250,000 residents of Al-Quds."

The UN report said the barrier cuts off thousands of Palestinians from their jobs, land or key services.

"Health and education services are generally located on the east, or ‘Palestinian’ side, of the Barrier, so children, patients and workers have to pass through gates to reach schools, medical facilities and workplaces and to maintain family and social relations."

The UN report was released to mark the fourth anniversary of a ruling by the International Court of Justice branding the 900 kilometers (540 miles) steel and concrete wall as illegal.

After the ICJ resolution, the UN General Assembly has asked Israel to tear it down and compensate the Palestinians affected.

But Israel is defiantly pressing ahead with the construction under the pretext of protecting Jewish settlements, also considered illegal under UN resolutions…

UN/ICJ/OIC thinking: still-necked, recalcitrant Jews. Can’t live with ‘em; kill ‘em.
