UN-dermining democracy

The UN's Kofi Annan, whose main job is to placate the various tyrannical member states that belong to his organization, is only too happy to meddle in Israeli internal affairs and to undermine the will of the voters in the only democracy in the Middle East:

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Tuesday gave a boost to Middle East peace activists, who warned him that "time was running out" on an Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution.
...
Annan applauded their efforts and courage, saying that grass-roots initiatives "helped to create a vision of a common future," according to a UN read-out of the meeting.

The Israeli public and its government will readily embrace a legitimate peace proposal as they have in the past. But these particular "grass-roots initiatives" do not have the support of the elected Israeli government, nor of a decisive number of Israeli voters.

But what would the UN know of such concepts as elections and democracy?
