Purely peaceful™: Ahmadinejad posing with Iranian officials by a Simorgh rocket

We’ve written before about North Korea’s nuclear assistance to both Iran and Syria, providing expertise in planning and building some extremely suspicious sites.

Now it appears that, thanks to the blundering UN and the ineffectual threats of ’sanctions’ from the talking heads of the ‘international community’, Mahmoud and the Mullahs have finally, with further willing help from the lunatic régime of Pyongyang, spun their Taqiyya lies into reality – and brought the Middle East to the nuclear brink; both in terms of production of fissile material and now, it appears, delivery systems:

Iran is building a new rocket launch site a short distance from an existing complex and seems to be working with North Korea, information group IHS Jane’s said Friday.
Construction visible from satellite imagery of the new site, near the city of Semnan east of Tehran, suggests that Iran has been collaborating with Pyongyang, said the London-based defence intelligence group.

Iran unveiled the Simorgh (Phoenix) space-launch vehicle (SLV) on February 3 but has not publicly revealed the location of the rocket’s launch complex, it reported. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome the latest addition to the UN Security Council: Nazi-saluting Hizballah militiamen

The lunatics have finally overrun the asylum. And, like it has already succeeded in doing with the Human Rights Commission, the Organisation of The Islamic Conference (OIC) gets a grip on the UN Security Council. Things have taken a worrying turn for the worse at the already-rotten UN. Could things get any more absurd?

WASHINGTON – As of January 1, 2010 and for the next two years, Lebanon will be joining the United Nations Security Council as the Arab states’ representative, replacing Libya. This means that as of next year, Hezbollah and Iran will have direct access to the Security Council.

The Hezbollah organization, which was required to disarm in line with Security Council Resolution 1559 from 2004 and 1701 (in the wake of the Second Lebanon War,) is now a member of the Lebanese government – which recently decided that the group does not need to disarm [we understand that Lebanon has repudiated Resolution 1559 in the last few days - Ed]. And now, the Security Council will comprise a representative of the Lebanese government, which includes the Hezbollah terror group. Read the rest of this entry »

Best buddies: Coming soon to a UN Security Council conference near you

Just when you thought things couldn’t get more surreal at the woefully corrupt, discredited United Nations:

On Jan. 1, 2010, Hezbollah and its de-facto ruler Iran could have a direct line to the Security Council and gain access to all the confidential information to which Security Council members are privy.

In October the U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly voted for Lebanon to be the Asian bloc’s new non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for a 2-year term. Read the rest of this entry »

Hero: Goldstone-branded souvenir goods on sale in Gaza

South African Judge Richard Goldstone’s name may be infamous in Israel, but in the Gaza Strip it is sewn onto souvenir Palestinian headscarves in honour of his controversial war inquiry.

Tariq Abu Dia, owner of the President Arafat souvenir shop in Gaza City, says Goldstone, who is Jewish, deserves the honour of appearing on the iconic Palestinian keffiyeh made famous by Yasser Arafat, for whom the shop is named.

“Today we put out 50 keffiyehs made of white fabric with the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and the name ‘Goldstone’ embroidered on them, to honour his work,” Abu Dia says, as he shows off one of the scarves. Read the rest of this entry »

U.N. Human Rights Council witnesses dramatic face-off when head of controversial UN “fact-finding” mission on Gaza unexpectedly confronted by one of his own witnesses. Dr. Mirela Siderer, an Israeli doctor brutally disfigured by a 2008 rocket attack fired from Gaza into her Ashkelon medical clinic, pointedly accused Judge Richard Goldstone of ignoring her July oral testimony in his report, and of failing to disclose material information concerning the mandate and members of the mission.

Both declared Israel guilty in advance. Testimony arranged by the Geneva human rights organization UN Watch

Watch and remember – you will get very few chances to see such testimony, as the Western mainstream media continues shilling for Hamas and Fatah and ignoring the plight of the residents of Israeli towns unfortunate enough to lie close to Gaza; who have bravely borne the brunt of thousands of rocket attacks from Muslim terrrorists.

Video above of similar weapons haul in 2002. The Israeli Defence Force Sopkesman said that todays find was ten times larger:

Israel’s navy has intercepted a ship carrying hundreds of tonnes of Iranian weapons intended for Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israeli military has said.

The Antiguan-flagged vessel, Francop, was boarded 160km (100 miles) off the Israeli coast, the military said, and has been towed to the port of Ashdod.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the arms were intended to strike Israeli cities. Read the rest of this entry »

OIC Chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoğlu: we initiated Goldstone

From the horse’s mouth: proof positive that the United Nations Council for Human Rights (UNHRC), the Orwellian-named group that puts the world’s worst human rights violators in charge of the UN HR effort; IS a Muslim proxy, controlled by the Organisation of the Islamic Conference – a major International Muslim inter-governmental interest group.

Full interview with The OICs Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoğlu, the secretary-general of the OIC, (from Al Jazeera), below:

Established in 1969 to safeguard global Muslim interests, the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) is the second largest inter-governmental body after the UN.

In its 40-year history, the OIC has worked with the UN and others to settle conflicts and disputes, particularly among its member states. Read the rest of this entry »

US Ambassador to the UN calls for anti-Israel hatred at the UN to stop

Good luck with that..

US ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice called on Wednesday for an end to “anti-Israel vitriol” at the United Nations, where the General Assembly is expected to debate a Gaza war crimes report.

“Member states must once and for all replace anti-Israeli vitriol with recognition of Israel’s legitimacy and right to exist in peace and security,” she said at a conference in Jerusalem organised by President Shimon Peres.

She also stressed Washington’s commitment to fighting extremism. Read the rest of this entry »

Just one more reason why we may need to consider disengaging from the UN

Or how the United Nations abuses the good faith and tolerance of the West to undermine our security and values:

ABC News on the armed robbery story behind our picture above”

‘Authorities in North Carolina don’t know whether they are looking for a man or a woman in the search for a burka-wearing bandit who walked into a bank Tuesday and pointed a gun at a teller before exiting with a bag full of money.”

A report by U.N. Special Rapporteur Martin Scheinin that is awaiting approval by the United Nations General Assembly says that security measures taken to detect terrorists “risk unduly penalising transgender persons whose personal appearance and data are subject to change.” Read the rest of this entry »

We first ran the story of British Army Colonel Richard Kemp, former commander of the British forces in Afghanistan, speaking up for the IDF in July. He spoke again, for Hillel Neuer’s excellent UN Watch group at the UN in Geneva on Friday.

Col. Kemp’s command record includes service with NATO, the UN, in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Macedonia.

He also participated in the Gulf War, has spent considerable time in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, and worked with the UK Joint Intelligence Committee – the Interface between the armed forces, government and the security services.

So instead of the cultural relativism of biased western journalists, soap-dodging UAF hooligans and the ‘Palestinian’ lobby, listen to someone who knows what exactly he’s talking about, for a change.

Great video. Hat Tip: Pamela @ Atlas Shrugs.
