Ongelofelijk
maar waar, de VN die vorig jaar 61 ‘peacekeepers’ verloor in Afrika, heeft twee Israëlische firma’s gecontracteerd, één die VN troepen in Afrika moet beveiligen en een andere die het water voor de troepen daar moet gaan
verzorgen…… De Israëlische beveiligingsfirma MER zit bomvol psychopaten uit het
Israëlische leger, figuren die in feite tot hun pensionering onderdeel
blijven uitmaken van het Israëlische leger (bomvol andere psychopaten), doet het
werk voor 8 miljoen dollar en de firma Odis die het water gaat verzorgen, vangt daar ‘een lieve’ 42 miljoen dollar voor……….
De
ambassadeur bij de VN voor de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël*,
opperhufter Danny Danon lobbyde voor de Israëlische contracten onder
meer door een aantal evenementen (en niet: ‘eventen!’) te
organiseren voor de leden van de commissie die de biedingen bekeek,
waarbij waarschijnlijk nog wel ‘iets onder het tafelkleed’ werd
doorgeschoven……….
Hoe
kan de VN psychopaten contracteren die in feite lid zijn van het
Israëlische leger, dat de ene massamoord na de andere aanricht onder
de Palestijnen….???
Trouwens
over die VN troepen in Afrika gesproken: de hoogste tijd dat er
veiligheidsfirma’s komen, die de plaatselijke bevolking beschermen
tegen de regelmatig voorkomende verkrachtingen en gewelddadige acties
van de VN troepen………
Dan nog even over watervoorziening on de door Israël illegaal bezette West Bank en in de Gazastrook. Israël heeft ervoor gezorgd dat beide gebieden niet, of nog amper over eigen water beschikken, door diverse maatregelen zoals afdammingen, moet water voor de Palestijnen in beide gebieden worden aangevoerd, waar de illegale nederzettingen op de door Israël illegaal bezette West Bank zelfs de beschikking hebben over zwembaden……. Geen punt voor de VN……
Misschien
tijd om de hele VN maar op te doeken…??
Israel
companies sign deals to secure UN forces in Africa

The
United Nations has signed purchase agreements with Israeli companies
specialising in water and security services worth tens of millions of
shekels.
The
deals have been made in the light of increasingly deteriorating
security for UN bases and aid workers throughout numerous locations
in Africa. Last year alone, 61 UN peacekeepers were killed in the
continent – the highest number recorded in the past 25 years –
causing the UN to urgently seek out new defence systems to purchase
for its bases.
As
a result of its worldwide search for systems with sensors which can
detect precision-guided threats such as missiles, three out of the
five companies that the UN contacted were Israeli. The Israeli
company MER was finally chosen, signing an $8 million deal for the
next three years with the option of a further five years.
Israeli
water treatment company Odis was also handed a contract, winning a
tender worth $42 million. Other deals were signed in addition to
these main two purchase agreements.
The
companies were initially introduced and recommended to UN officials
by the Israeli delegation led by Ambassador Danny Danon, with various
events being held for the purpose of promoting Israeli manufacturing
and acquisition deals. With the events having been successful, the
representatives of the Israeli companies were approached and invited
to participate in UN bids.
“Diplomacy
offers many opportunities for the advancement of Israel and Israeli
industry,” Danon said, “I am proud of the Israeli companies
joining forces with the United Nations to become an integral part of
the organisation’s activities worldwide.”
“This
is yet another achievement for Israel at the United Nations, which
will bring tens of millions of shekels to the country, thereby
opening up the local industry even further. This is also an
opportunity for exposing Israeli businesses to potential acquisition
deals with the organisation,” he concluded.
Such
deals on an enormous scale between Israel and the UN are not new:
last year alone, Israeli companies sold $52 million worth of products
and services to the organisation.
Though
Israel is happy to trade with the UN, it has repeatedly slammed its
diplomacy and the numerous resolutions passed by the General Assembly
against the occupation’s activities against Palestinians and their
land.
One
UN body, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation, has long been critical of Israel and its policies. In
2016, UNESCO voted on a resolution which denied any
Jewish connection to Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Buraq
(Western) Wall.
In
2017, UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee condemned Israeli
policy in occupied East Jerusalem, calling Israel an “occupying
power”.
It
also inscribed Hebron’s
Old Town and the Ibrahimi Mosque in occupied Hebron onto the list of
endangered World Heritage sites in the State of Palestine.
