Your tax dollars at work
Wondering what’s got the U.N. all worked up? Slaughter in Darfur? Honor killings of women throughout the Muslim world? The suffering of North Koreans under the Kim regime?
What, are you kidding?
The United Nation's Human Rights Council is expected to place Israel under permanent investigation for its "violations" of international law in the territories - until such time as it withdraws to the pre-1967 border - according to Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.
[…]
It's one of at least four anti-Israel actions he expects the council to take during its fourth session, which started in Geneva on Monday and runs through April 5, Neuer told The Jerusalem Post from Geneva.
The UN body was created in June to replace the Human Rights Commission, which was scrapped because it had a faulty membership composition and repeatedly singled out Israel.
But since its inception, the 47-member body - which includes Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China - has continued to single out the Jewish State. It has issued eight anti-Israel resolutions, and none against any other nation. It has also held three special sessions on Israel.[…]
The Human Rights Council is also set to hear a report compiled by UN Special Rapporteur John Dugard that compares Israeli actions in the territories to that of the former apartheid system in South Africa.
The United States pays the lion’s share of the U.N. budget, so we fund a bunch of anti-semitic diplomats -- representing repressive regimes -- who target the only Western nation in the Middle East.
Where can gays and lesbians live openly? Where can women live the lives of their own choosing, as the equal of any man? Where do the arts, science and technology flourish?
It ain’t in the Arab and Muslim world, my friends.
They do in Israel, though, which makes it all the more ironic that the international civil libertarians -- as well as the pin-striped, smooth-talking diplomatic representatives of thugocracys -- target the Jewish state for "gross" violations of international law.
You think it ought to matter to them, that the Israelis provide more freedom than any other country in the Middle East? That the gays and women who cower in the closet and beneath burqas in Muslim lands are protected in Israel?
But that’s irrelevant, you see, because the moral-equivalence crowd doesn’t hold them to the same standards as the Jews Israelis. Why not? Well, viewed through their P.C.-distorted eyes, they’re Arabs, Muslims, and not the white, European, Western men responsible for all the evil in the post-colonial world -- including the perfectly-understandable behaviour of our hot-blooded brown friends.
The U.N. expects more from the Jews Israelis.
Why do we play host to the U.N.? Why do we pay the bill for this Mad Hatter’s tea party?
