Israel’s UN ambassador could be pardoned for weeping at the way the dominant nondemocratic membership singles out his democratic country for abuse. Instead, Ron Proser chooses to mock the slimy bastards.
“…when Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari claimed last year that his government was not responsible for the massacres taking place in his country, Prosor took him to task. ‘If lying was an Olympic event, I have no doubt that the Syrian regime and its representatives could easily win a gold medal,’ he told the General Assembly in August 2012.”
That year the dictators club’s 193 countries passed 22 resolutions condemning Israel, but only four against any other countries. Must be hard to smile while standing in such a stinking cesspool of lies and corruption, but Proser has found a way.
















I had an unusually wide-ranging experience in my military career that led to the powers-that-were to send me to the (then) new idea of providing Americans to UN peacekeeping missions, in my case the Western Sahara back in 1994.
Note that there has never been such a mission that has been successfully completed, even as far back as Kashmir and Cyprus. (Chad & West Irian don’t count — the UN troops were only place-keepers to work through a decision that had already been worked out.)
Being immersed in that circus, I could see why there’s a good reason that the UN can’t get anything done. The only ones who actually accomplished anything were the officers from the Anglophone countries, much to the chagrin of the others who were content (here I’m speaking almost exclusively of the enormous body of also-ran ex-diplomats) to sit back & draw a huge paycheck for making sure that they prolonged the problem.
Yep, he is good at that. Whether it helps anyone, besides buying a few refreshing laughs, is an open question. But I am all for it.
Prosner thinks adversaries learn from his humor. I think he’s right. In any case, it’s a better bet than indignation.
As for the UN prolonging problems, you have only to look at the money they spend on the Palestinians and the way they maintain their refugee status, whereas most have lived in the same place for more than a generation.
