Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon Blasts 'One-Sided' UN Human Rights Council Report

"Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, on Tuesday blasted a report issued a day earlier by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, which offered to 'advise and support' efforts to create a 'blacklist' database of companies operating in Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights, and eastern Jerusalem, so that the international community could boycott them.

In a statement, Danon referred to the report as 'biased and one-sided' and added, 'The report ignores the daily incitement to violence and the ongoing terror attacks planned and executed against Israel by the Palestinians.'...

The report was compiled by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raed al-Hussein, and will be discussed by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on June 19. It is the latest attempt by the UNHRC to single out Israel for criticism, which it often does while ignoring other conflicts in the region, such as the ongoing bloody civil war in Syria...

In March, the council passed a series of anti-Israel resolutions, including a motion condemning Israel for its construction in Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights and urging states and firms to avoid ties with 'settlements'."
