The United Nations Has Lost It

Yair Lapid speaking in Jerusalem, June 20, 2016
"The United Nations has lost it. When it comes to Israel the UN has lost credibility, lost common sense, and more than anything lost its most important asset – its integrity...

The UN Human Rights Council's treatment of Israel strayed from the boundaries of legitimate criticism long ago. In the past decade the council has voted for 61 resolutions condemning human rights abuses across the world and 67 resolutions which condemned Israel.

Let me repeat that - The council has condemned Israel, a democratic country which upholds international law, more times than the rest of the world combined.

Israel is the only country on earth which warrants its own agenda item in the UN Human Rights Council. Agenda item 7 dictates that every time the council meets there will be a 'discussion of the human rights situation in Israel'. This discussion happens irrespective of whether or not there have been reports of human rights violations. It happens without a factual examination of the complaints lodged by Palestinians, usually allies or members of the various terror organizations that are sworn to destroy Israel.

For the United Nations, this just doesn't matter..."
