UN peace exhibit features slogan calling for Israel to be wiped off the map: 'Shameful'

Danny Danon, Israel’s permanent representative, called on the UN to remove the 'shameful' display
FIRST ON FOX – A Global Peace Flag exhibit at the United Nations New York City headquarters features a slogan that many Israelis regard as an explicit call to wipe Israel off the map.

The picture shows a map of Israel, resembling a watermelon, without any West Bank or Gaza partition. In the top right-hand corner is the Palestinian flag.

The left side of the map contains the phrase "From the River to the Sea" and the right side contains the phrase, "Will be Free." It is an obvious nod to the phrase, "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free."

Supporters of Palestinians maintain that the phrase is merely a slogan to represent the Palestinian struggle against the State of Israel, which they see as an occupying force.

And this from the organization that was created to bring peace on earth? Why don't we kick them out of our country?

I don't think it'll happen, but I'd love it if the USA completely left the UN. Without US dollars the organization would have to shrink to a shell of its current self.

And its huge building in NYC could be converted to housing for homeless US veterans.

Unfortunately, I'm not even the least bit surprised.

UN removes anti-Israel ‘peace quilt’ from exhibit
Ambassador Danny Danon had complained about a panel that showed Israel as Palestine with the words “From the River to the Sea.”
The United Nations has removed a “peace quilt” Monday from an exhibit in its halls that contained a panel with a picture of Israel as Palestine with a message calling for the Jewish state’s destruction.

The painting on the cloth depicted the country, including Judea and Samaria and Gaza, as if it were a piece of watermelon, a fruit that the Palestinians and their supporters have coopted over the course of the ongoing Hamas-Israel war as a symbol of their fight.

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, both complained to the body and expressed his disgust in a video post to social media Tuesday.
