UN Ambassador from Israel, Danny Danon had a few words for this Chanukah and the UN. (Chanukah 2016 started the evening of Saturday, December 24th, and ends on the evening of Sunday, January 1st, 2017)
Tomorrow night, Israel and the entire Jewish community around the world will celebrate the holiday of Chanukah. Over 2000 years ago, King Antiochus banished the Jewish people from our Temple in Jerusalem, and issued decrees trying to sever us from [our] religion and our heritage. But we prevailed. The Jewish people fought back, regained our independence, and relit the Menorah candles in the Temple.
I ask each and every member of this Council who voted for this resolution: Who gave you the right to issue such a decree, denying our eternal rights in Jerusalem? … We overcame those decrees during the time of the Maccabees, and we will overcome this evil decree today.
I can easily see the UN ending from this. As usual the globalists have struck too soon without measuring their opposition.
I probably should add that the story of the Chanukah “eight day oil” miracle is thought currently to be a myth. That hardly lessens its power.
In any case the results of the ’67 war is not a myth.

Very old joke: I first heard it a few years after the Six Day war:
“During the Six Day War, a division of Arabs was making its way across the burning desert sands towards Israel, when the Arab commander, bouncing along in his jeep, spotted an aged Israeli on top a distant sand dune. The commander drops his binoculars and shouts orders to a foot soldier to run up ahead and kill the infidel Israeli. The soldier sprints ahead of the troops, and soon disappears over the sand dune. The general stops the troops and waits to see what happens. Nothing happens. The commander sends a whole platoon of soldiers to investigate. All twelve Arabs disappear over the sand dune, never to be seen again. The now anxious commander dispatches 3 tanks to find out just what in the heck is going on, and they disappear over the dune, too. Sweat pours down the commander’s forehead as he orders his entire division to overrun the solitary Israeli behind the sand dune. But just then, the first soldier reappears on the distant sand dune and cups his hands to his lips. “Go back!” he shouts. “Go back! It’s hopeless– there’s TWO of them!””
Happy Chanukah!
Kathy,
Hadn’t hear that one before.
Nice.
Hopefully, the next 25 days pass without incident.
