Israel-bashing at the United Nations

"You can dress up a dictator in a suit, but he's still a thug. The same goes for the UN Human Rights Council. New name but brutish business as usual."

It didn't take long for the council, which replaced the discredited UN Human Rights Commission, to get into Israel-bashing mode.

Right off the bat, at its inaugural session last month, the council singled out only one state - Israel - for denunciation. Never mind that there are atrocious human rights violations being committed in numerous countries. More.
