Via Washington Examiner: In a particularly one-sided anti-Israel report on Thursday, researchers for the United Nations found that Israel likely committed war crimes during its security operations at the Gaza-Israel border last summer. Shockingly, the report includes only one mention of Hamas in a negative sense. But judged against the abundant evidence of Hamas malfeasance at the border last year, that single recognition is clear evidence of the report’s bias. Not only did Hamas fighters use civilians as human shields, and as propaganda during those showdowns at the border, the group did so repeatedly and deliberately. Of course, like most

This report was born in sin, in a politically biased, one-sided resolution that determined the outcome before the investigation even started. This report was written by three individuals that lack any understanding in security matters, without relevant professional background.” “Hamas has declared war on Israel and calls to kill Jews. Hamas is orchestrating the attacks and using civilians in Gaza as human weapons to assault Israel and Israeli civilians. Hamas exploits the

From UN Peacekeepers Salute Hizbullah Terrorists: Israel is calling for removal of two UN soldiers from Lebanon after photographs surfaced of the soldiers saluting the coffins of Hizbullah terrorists during a prisoner exchange last week. Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman, said he was “shocked and horrified” by the photograph and that it was time for the saluting soldiers to go. “I think they should be recalled and be sent back to whichever country they came from….They are there as peacekeepers with a very clear mandate to disarm Hizbullah – they’re not there to honor terrorists,” he said.

However, on Tuesday, the UN Committee on Non-governmental Organizations is poised to revoke these basic access rights from the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ), which represents more than 1.7 million reform, progressive, liberal and reconstructionist Jews all over the world. The WUPJ offers a rare but tenacious voice that confronts Islamic human rights abuses at

Our plea to the world to prevent Jean Ziegler—founder of the “Muammar Khaddafi Human Rights Prize”— from being elected to the UN Human Rights Council has been ignored because no one cares if a Jew lives or dies, especially the Muslim despots that have infected and infiltrated the United Nations over the last 60 years. Sadly, to the sound of cheers, and by an overhwelming majority of 40 out of 47 votes, the UN Human Rights Council today elected Jean Ziegler, the co-founder of the “Muammar Khaddafi Human Rights Prize,” as an expert advisor representing the Western world. And for

From UN Watch: An emergency session today of the UN’s 47-nation Human Rights Council condemned Israel for “grave violations of the human and humanitarian rights of Palestinian civilians,” for “undermining” the peace process, “incessant and repeated Israeli military attacks,” and causing “loss of life and injuries among Palestinian civilians, including women and children.” The resolution, which made no mention of Hamas rocket attacks or their Israeli victims, was adopted by 30 votes to 1 (Canada), with 15 abstentions from European Union and other countries.
