 merrie says: On Tuesday the Obama administration did it again: It ran for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council. As expected, the administration won election to represent the Council’s Western European and Others Group — it was a three-state contest for three spaces. The Council is most famous, not for protecting human rights, but for its obsession with Israel. In its three-year history it has: * adopted more resolutions and decisions condemning Israel than condemning the 191 other U.N. members combined; * entrenched an agenda with only ten items, one permanently reserved for condemning Israel and another for condemning any other U.N. state that might “require the Council’s attention”; * held ten regular sessions on human rights, and five special sessions to condemn only Israel; * insisted on an investigator with an open-ended mandate to condemn Israel, while all other investigators must be regularly renewed; spawned constant investigations on Israel, and abolished human-rights investigations (launched by its predecessor, the Commission on Human Rights) into Belarus, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Moreover, every morning before the Human Rights Council starts, all states — and even observers like the Palestinians — get together in their regional blocs for an hour to negotiate, share information, and determine positions. All, that is, except Israel. The Western European and Others Group refuses to give Israel full membership. Now the U.S. will be complicit in this injustice. Joining the Council has one immediate effect on U.S.... Have mercy! What are they doing?! Well, the US certainly got "Change" whether we like it or not! But I see no "Hope" anywhere. Everyday it's a new screw-up. If he thinks (does he think?) that all the Middle Eastern countries will like us and be our allies by throwing Israel "under the bus", he is a lot more ignorant of international (let alone national) affairs than I thought. If he thinks (does he think?) that all the Middle Eastern countries will like us and be our allies by throwing Israel "under the bus",There is a growing support in the US for sanctioning Israel. I think Obama feels it will be okay, that he has enough US support. Have mercy! What are they doing?! He's made a serious miscalculation by appeasing and pandering to the anti-America, anti-democratic UN, the Arab League, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. His plan to force the process of manufacturing a Palestinian state while Israel is literally under fire will backfire and make the region more dangerous than ever. Yes merrie. I don't know how it can get anymore dangerous without creating great havoc on the rest of the world. As soon as Someone takes His finger out of the dike the entire area is going to erupt and flood with carnage. Merrie, thanks for this clip. It makes my stomach turn, to be honest  US using it's veto power in the UN Security Council to veto all resolutions against Israel What veto power? The US has a SINGLE VOTE. U.N. Literally Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Ahmadinejad: It says something about Durban II when Ahmadinejad is welcomed with open arms while democratic countries like the U.S*., Israel, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, and Australia choose to skip the event entirely. (and New Zealand) Libya, Russia, and Cuba identified as Durban II Leaders: The member states, naturally, have chosen the ambassadors of Libya, Russia, and Cuba as officers here. These worthies’ qualifications were so beyond question, they were nominated withou... It makes my stomach turn, to be honest I know, I couldn't think of a more insane scheme. IWon is planning to throw Israel to the sharks if they don't agree to sign on to the "two-state" agreement, which would allow the "right of return" of Palestinians to Gaza. |
