UN's Rights Council Cares More About Optics Than Lives

"It's not fair to say the U.N. Human Rights Council is biased. That description is way too generous. It would be more appropriate to say the council is on a mission to delegitimize and discredit the Israeli government, while allowing global atrocities to run rampant...

If anyone can persuade the HRC to change, it's President Trump. However, if they stubbornly refuse, he and Ambassador Haley should make good on their threat, and thus make it harder for the world to keep their heads in the sand.

Some have suggested that withdrawing from the HRC would demonstrate the U.S. does not care about human rights. The exact opposite is true. Standing silent and allowing these atrocities to continue is the ultimate slap in the face to victims of human rights violations.

By withdrawing, the U.S. would demonstrate it truly cares about helping people who are suffering, rather than pandering to those in power, more concerned with optics than human lives."
