"U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley called out the U.N. Human Rights Council as 'foolish and unworthy of its name' after it passed five resolutions that share the common denominator of targeting Israel - and only one that blasted North Korea. Israel, meanwhile, condemned the body as a 'sham' that was being exploited by 'bloodthirsty dictatorships' to cover up their own atrocities.
Right on both counts. And now it's time for America and Israel to quit this worthless body...
Why pretend this so-called human rights council cares about human rights any longer?
It's not as if staying on would sway the members to the side of Israel - or even to the side of fair shakes for Israel.
It's really no secret the United Nations as a whole has engaged in drawing moral equivalencies between Israel and the nations of the world that would seek to abolish the Jewish state and its people completely for years. How else to explain the 2012 approval by the General Assembly, 138-9, to recognize 'Palestine' as a non-member observer state - right after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas denounced Israel from the United Nations' own podium as a perpetrator of 'war crimes?'...
It's high time for both the United States and Israel to pull from this body and send a joint message of no-nonsense tone that underscores what this new White House has been saying for more than a year: This is a new administration, a new president, a new dawn, and the days of habitually slamming Israel and taking advantage of America's goodwill have definitely come to an end."
