Speaking at the UN on October 31, 2016, human rights aficionado Syria lectured Israel about protecting human rights. Despite bombing hospitals, using chemical weapons on its own people, and using conventional weapons to kill hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, Syria accused Israel of the "worst violations."
Their examples? Arabs in the Golan are "unable to go to Damascus to receive medical treatment," and "prevented from selling" agricultural products to the Syrian government.
And nobody laughed.
