United Nations Human Rights Council - At It Again
Well, that comes as a surprise. In reviewing all the material contained in the Goldstone Report the United Nations Human Rights Council saw fit to pass three resolutions condemning Israel over its relations with the Palestinians - and its policies regarding "Syrian territories"; the Golan Heights taken by Israel in its defence against the attack by a combined Arab army intent on dislodging it from its position within the Middle East.One of the resolutions cites "grave human rights violations" committed by the Israel Defence Forces personnel in the Palestinian Territories, demanding that Israel cease its intolerable occupation of Palestinian land occupied since 1967; again the outcome of a defensive war against a well-armed and intent-combined Arab-nations army resolute in their determination to remove Israel from the map of the Middle East.
There was the additional demand by this august United Nations body invested in the protection of human rights that Israel cease targeting Palestinian civilians and the systematic destruction of their cultural heritage, while also making a halt to all military operations within Palestinian territories, and lastly, for the moment, lifting of the ruinous Gaza blockade.
As though there were no cause and effect. No murderous attacks by Palestinian civilians and militants against Israeli civilians. No systematic destruction of Jewish heritage religious sites, while Israel has continued to defend those of the Palestinians. And no reason to blockade Gaza, while Hamas incites to violence and Israel's destruction, and Fatah military factions lob rockets into Israel.
Which nations comprise the UN Human Rights Council? Oddly enough, the world's worst human-rights abusers. Libya, the original supplier of weapons and fomentor of violence, giving encouragement to terror groups, now supplanted by Iran with its investment in Hezbollah and Hamas, together forming an alliance to tarnish and slander Israel, both leading contenders for election this year, again.
Libya's International Organization for the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination proudly proclaims it is "focused on the ideological systems of apartheid and Zionism". Its own dismally black record on racism and terrorism belongs to another dimension in another nightmare of a world. And that Libyan organization claims that Israel is engaged in organ trafficking.
Claiming also that Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing, massacres, creating the world's "largest open-air prison" - the assault-protective wall between Israel and the Palestinians - "economic genocide" and loosing "hordes of marauding gangs of Israeli illegal settlers" whose purpose it is to launch pogroms against Palestinians".
"Now it is the turn of the dead, kidnapped and killed Palestinians. Their human organs, as reported in the press, can be a source of immense wealth through illegal trafficking in the world market."And where is this blood libel, this horrendous slander published? In none other than official UN documents, published by the UN General Assembly, forming part of the international record being emitted from the Human Rights Council; lifted holus-bolus from Libya's fictitious, viciously polemical EAFORD tract.
As an addendum, the UN Human Rights Council recommended, through a proposal by Pakistan, that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians, representing loss and damages incurred throughout the Cast Lead operation in the Gaza Strip, last year. No recommendations were made for like payments to be made by Palestinians to Israelis.
