Terrorism’s best friend

Alan Dershowitz has one very powerful column on the crucial role played by the United Nations in facilitating the growth of the terrorist movement that landed last week on the doorsteps of the UN itself: “Terror stings its pal, the UN.” Here’s the nub of it: “For more than a quarter of a century, the U.N. has actively encouraged terrorism by rewarding its primary practitioners, legitimating it as a tactic, condemning its victims when they try to defend themselves and describing the murderers of innocent children as ‘freedom fighters.’ No organization in the world today has accorded so much legitimacy to terrorism as has the U.N.” (Courtesy of RealClearPolitics.)
