This week the democracy of tyranny that is the UN Human Rights Council set into motion the draft resolution that will soon become the20th condemnatory resolution against Israel in the past 2 years. Since the UN Human Rights Council was reformed 2 years ago, 24 condemnatory resolutions have been passed and an outrageous 20 of them have been directed against Israel.
The resolution was drafted during the agenda item dealing with Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights. This is the only country specific item on the UN HRC agenda. Not a single other country specific agenda item exists. As Hillel Neuer of UN Watch so puts it:
|
“The states that say they oppose country specific items are the ones that sponsor this very item. Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the UN expressed disappointment at the council’s decision to single out one specific agenda item given the range and scope of regional items of allegations of human rights violations around the world.” |
There is absolute and unanimous consensus that the singling out of only the black kids at school would be racist. So why then, is there no consensus that the singling out of only the Jewish kids constitutes anti-Semitism?
During the session, the various speakers once again raised the levels of incitement against Israel, like a filthy sewer spewing forth its scum and stench, speaker after speaker joined teh chorus of anti-Israel invective.
Despite the grim historical ties that former Palestinian leader Haj Amin Al-Husseini had with Adolf Hitler, the Palestinian ambassador to the UN once again compared the Israelis to Nazis.
| “The Palestinian people, tormented by persecution and humiliation, mirror the past suffering of Jews in Europe... This occupation, which has transformed Gaza into a large concentration camp and the West Bank into isolated Ghettos, cannot be sustained.... Israel knows exactly the meaning of concentration camps and ghettos!" |
Archbishop Desmond Tutu was in attendance, and didn’t utter a single word of dissent.
