More indication of the utter moral bankruptcy of the UN, and their continued support of the global jihad. From the New York Sun, with thanks to AC:
The United Nations bankrolled the production of thousands of banners, bumper stickers, mugs, and T-shirts bearing the slogan "Today Gaza and Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem," which have been widely distributed to Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, according to a U.N. official.The U.N. support of the Palestinian Authority's propaganda operation in the midst of the Israeli evacuation of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip has provoked outrage from Israeli and Jewish leaders, who are blaming Turtle Bay for propagating an inflammatory message that they say encourages Palestinian Arab violence.
"The intifada worked. That's contextually what this message is saying," the director of U.N. affairs for the Washington-based Jewish organization B'nai Brith, Amy Goldstein, said.
The Arabic slogan, which refers to disputed territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, has become ubiquitous in Gaza, where Israeli soldiers this week are evacuating 21 settlements. It's served as the central message of a Palestinian Arab effort to spin the withdrawal as a victory.
A special representative of the United Nations Development Program in the Gaza Strip, Timothy Rothermel, told Fox News that his office provided financial support for the production of materials that make up the Palestinian Authority's propaganda campaign, timed to coincide with the Gaza pullout. The Palestinian Authority's withdrawal committee developed and produced the posters and other items using U.N. money, Mr. Rothermel said.
In addition to the slogan "Today Gaza and Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem," many of the materials displayed the logo of the United Nations Development Program, which operates in 166 countries and spends about half a billion dollars a year.
I saw this story this morning on FNC. Timothy Rothermel was smiling like he had accomplished something important.
Everyone American who supports Israel can still do something about the expulsion. It can be reversed. It's not over. Today Israel, tomorrow the US. Send an email or fax or phone. Public opinion still means something.

US should take Dick Morris advice on this one.
Hold back the UN dues.
Home of tin pot dictatorships and theocracies, preside over by unscrupulous fraudsters - and Gazastan is one of its clients and creations.
Fools like Jimmy Carter hail its "moral authority"
What a farce.
TELL IT LIKE IT IS, AMY.
They want to destroy the Jewish people. It's in the PLO Charter. Hamas means violence, literally, in Hebrew. It's not "context", it's "the real thing".
History is happening right now, so do something about it.
Outrageous! We MUST stop contributing our money to this insanity.
no problem.. let the paleos have happy t-shirts ..as soon as the Israelis are in to safe zone..let the joint U.S. Israeli strikes on iran begin..cluster bomb the paleos from anywhere they lob kassams..and tell the u.n. to get the f***
out!!
This just enhances my belief that the UN is a waste of premium New York realestate. Let's kick them out!!

How sickening is this story? I am English, & naturally live in England, but if the UN Building was in London I would be outside right now.
I am so disgruntled & phased that I guess you could say I am "mildly annoyed", which is pretty uptight for me.
The UN, like the League of Nations before it, is a complete & utter fraud, failure & deserves nothing from the USA or UK.
What would happen if we just left? Why do we bother staying in this crap club of failures, scroungers & enemies who thwart our two nations attempts to protect ourselves?
Seems to me we are there to be insulted & pay the bills.
What of this new guy Bolton? How goes his sterling work to remove the top ten floors of the UN building?
Albion:The UN, like the League of Nations before it, is a complete & utter fraud, failure & deserves nothing from the USA or UK.
Why write anthing else? Thats perfect...thanx.
Yes, indeed Albion. How long would the UN really be able to keep the lights on in Kofi's office without money from the US and the UK?
Companion piece to the above article: http://www.nysun.com/article/18798
I only hope Bolton's comments behind closed doors were/are in a language easily understood by the super dips (diplomats) at the useless un. I would love to be a fly on the wall.
