I disagree with one minor point

Reader comment on item: Palestine Betrayed

Dr. Pipes:

In your narrative, you make the statement:

"the United Nations — the very institution that created the State of Israel"

Yehuda Blum, Israel's former ambassador to the United Nations once made a point to me that this was not true. In Blum's words, had Israel relied on the United Nations to create the nation, it would have been crushed at the onset.

Not only do I share Amb. Blum's observation; I believe it explains the UN's attitude toward Israel to this very day.
