UNESCO conference.
 Israel Today by Ryan Jones (excerpts):  Israeli officials on Wednesday said a decision by the UN Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO) to name Syria as the Arab representative to a committee on implementing human rights at a time when the Syrian regime is massacring its own citizens, further demonstrates the total irrelevance of the world body.  Israeli media reported on Syria's promotion on Thursday, just one day after the UN had issued a report condemning the massacre of at least 3,500 Syrian prodemocracy activists and other civilians at the hands of Syrian government forces.  "We are talking about an outrageous absurdity," one Israeli official told Israel radio.  "UNESCO is legitimizing Syria [as a human rights champion] even as it is slaughtering its own people."  The promotion of Syria, of all nations, to sit on a human rights advisory committee are, for most Israelis, the final nails in the coffin of the UN's legitimacy and relevance.  Meanwhile, the mainstream international media completely ignored the story of Syria's hypocritical promotion at UNESCO.  

 Commentary:  This site, for one, published the absurdity of not only Syria's election to the "human rights" committee, but the eight other brutal nations that are in constant violation of human rights, as well as three other major dictatorships, which sit on the committee as well.  They are most certainly hypocritical and commonly tolerate many nations which not only violate human rights, but downright brutalize and torture their citizens - these are crimes against humanity!  In that the Bible tells us that in the last days, a world dictator (the Antichrist) will have people beheaded for not taking his "number" to buy or sell, it is not shocking really, to see such ideology surfacing throughout the UN practices.  "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, bond and free to receive a mark in their right hand or their foreheads, that no man can buy or sell, except those who have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom:  let he who has understanding count the number of the beast; it is the number of a man and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.  "...I saw the souls of those that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither received his mark on their foreheads or in their hands..." Revelation 20:4.  As radical and surreal as the actions of the UN are, they are right in line with Bible prophecy, and it won't be long before the world quickly moves into form with what has already been prophesied over 2,000 years ago.
