While condemning the defender the UN has not in any way condemned the aggressor. We are of the opinion that such acts by Palestinians as the demolishing of Joseph's Tomb and the murder of the rabbi who tried to save the Torah scrolls of the shrine, shooting of innocent hikers, lynching of Israeli soldiers at the police station and car bomb murders in Jerusalem would have deserved the UN condemnation. Israel has never perpetrated such brutality. In our opinion the UN ought to intervene specially in the violent exploitation of children. The fact that the families are promised a reward if their children are wounded or die, in addition to hopes of paradise, is not a justification to place children to throw stones in front of Palestinian snipers.
Children ought to be protected from such brutal exploitation.
With this statement we want to oppose the decision of the Finnish UN delegation in the vote concerning Israel and announce that not all the citizens of Finland agree with it. During the Feast of Tabernacles conference in Jerusalem the ICEJ expressed its support to united Jerusalem as the Biblical and historical capital of Israel and stated that under Jewish sovereignty the gates of Jerusalem have been open to people of all religions to visit their respective shrines. In addition, several ministries representing about 14 million Christians signed the statement. The Finnish Branch of the ICEJ supports this statement, not the UN resolution. We understand Israel's pursuit of peace and also her need to guarantee the security of her citizens in their own country and capital.
