United Nations Human Rights Council is about to adopt a “reform package” that drops Cuba and Belarus from a blacklist and places Israel under permanent indictment.
Think I’m joking? LGF calls them “Rotten to its core”
Contrary to all the promises of reform issued last year, the proposal released today by Council President Luis Alfonso de Alba targets Israel for permanent indictment under a special agenda item: “Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories,” which includes “Human rights violations and implications of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and other occupied Arab territories”; and “Right to self-determination of the Palestinian people.” No other situation in the world is singled out ” not genocide in Sudan, not child slavery in China, nor the persecution of democracy dissidents in Egypt and elsewhere. Moreover, the council will entrench its one-sided investigative mandate of “Israeli violations of international law”"the only one not subject to regular review after a set term”by renewing it “until the end of the occupation.”
At the same time, the proposal eliminates the experts charged with reporting on violations by Cuba and Belarus, despite the latest reports of massive violations by both regimes. As for the experts on other countries ” on Burundi, Cambodia, North Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Liberia, Burma, Somalia and Sudan ” all of these may soon be eliminated, as threatened by the Council majority comprised of dictatorships and other Third World countries, under a gradual “review” process. Pending their fate, all experts will be subjected to a new “Code of Conduct,” submitted by Algeria in the name of the African group, designed to intimidate and restrict the independence of the human rights experts.

Thanks for posting this Peejz. One of the most troubling aspects of the war on terror is the insistence by Arab countries that Israel somehow doesn’t deserve a state yet Palestine does. Other troubling points are that the UN supports positions against Israel and even the far left here in America have started a march against Israel although they are not as vocal or as strong. Give it time though.
Maybe we should hope that Moore’s next film deals with the desolution of Israel and we might see a percentage of democrats jump ship. There are an inordinate amount of jewish in the democratic party and I’m sure they don’t want the US to lose it’s support of Israel.
