In discussing the State Department's report on Contemporary Global Anti-Semitism, Power Line has pointed to a UN report that "essentially licenses terrorism against Israel".

Stories such as this AP account flag the new UN report by special rapporteur John Dugard. Dugard's provides an appalling example of the role playled by the United Nations in disseminating the most virulent forms of contemporary anti-Semitism. The report essentially licenses terrorism against Israel. Dugard explains that there are two kinds of terrorism -- one "mindless" and the other killing Israelis in the name of "national liberation." The latter is "inevitable," according to Dugard.

Dugard's report arrived too late to be recognized properly in the State Department's report on global anti-Semitism, but Eye on the UN has posted a petition protesting Dugard's report.

It's simple, really: if only Israel didn't exist, everything would be cool. Until then, Palestinians and other Islamist groups really can't be blamed for murdering Jews from Tel Aviv to Buenos Aires and back. Of course, when Israelis defend themselves, well, that just makes it worse.

They're just askin' for it, y'know?

The Rape Defense; the gift that keeps on giving to the Palestinians.
