UN Asks for Israeli Troops

In a dramatic illustration of improved relations between the United Nations and Israel, the United Nations has requested that the Israel Defense Forces supply equipment and personnel for high priority UN Peace-Keeping missions around the world. It was only 10 years ago that the UN body was busy embarrasing itself by passing almost daily anti-Israel resolutions, and had declared Zionism to be a form of racism. This current UN request symbolizes the dramatic, almost unimaginable turn-around in UN-Israeli relations in the past few years.
