The UN and the Jews

The UN and the Jews (PDF), by Anne Bayefsky, which appeared in Commentary magazine in February, is a superb article exposing the anti-semitism that poisons the UN.

Update: It seems that Anne Bayefsky is to the UN's anti-semitism what Claudia Rosett is to Oil for Food. She's had a whole host of articles on the subject I intend to read (in chronological order):

• The U.N.'s Dirty Little Secret: The international body refuses to condemn anti-Semitism
• One Small Step: Is the U.N. finally ready to get serious about anti-Semitism? -- The title isn't hers. This was a fantastic speech she gave to the UN back in June. One of the things I'm really glad she highlighted was that the UN chose the "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" to fall on the same day as that of Israel's creation. If you read one piece in addition to the piece above, make it this one.
• Your Tax Dollars at Work: The U.N. discovers the cause of anti-Semitism: Jews
• Undiplomatic Imbalance: The antisemitism at the U.N. is a problem for more than just Israel
