Reason #3,498,082 the U.N. is a pathetic joke.
(CNSNews.com) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sent his Mideast envoy to deliver a message on his behalf to a conference in Qatar this week whose aims include “pointing out the weaknesses of the Jew’s historical arguments backing their claims” to Jerusalem.
Co-hosted by the Qatar government and the Arab League, the two-day “International Conference for the Defense of Jerusalem” brought together politicians from across the Arab and Muslim world, representatives of pro-Palestinian organizations, clerics and academics.
Participants included Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Sunni cleric regarded as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, who has drawn criticism for comments about Palestinian suicide bombings.
Ban’s Middle East envoy, Robert Serry, shared the platform with the emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Al-Arabi, Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
