Israel to get UN special treatment


By Stan Goodenough
June 21, 2007

The United Nations Human Rights Council was expected to adopt a reform package Thursday singling out Israel for special treatment as long as the Jewish nation keeps control over those parts of its biblical homeland coveted by the Arabs.

The same package will see the human-rights-abusing regimes ruling Cuba (Castro) and Belarus (Lukashenko) removed from a UNHRC blacklist.

And it will completely ignore the ongoing genocide in the Sudan, child slavery in China, and the persecution of opponents of dictatorships in Egypt and elsewhere.

This is according to the monitoring organization UN Watch

It will not be the first time the UNHRC makes a complete mockery of its existence. In 2006 the council excelled itself with the distinction of passing resolutions condemning Israel, and only Israel, time and time again.

So glaring was its prejudice that even then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan – no friend of Israel’s – felt compelled to issue a call to order, appealing for ethical accountability from the council.

He clearly went unheard.

Conceived out of a universal vision to ensure nothing like the Holocaust and World War Two ever happened again, the United Nations has – almost from day one – homed in on Israel – issuing more indictments against the little Jewish state and its handful of million people than against any other nationon earth.

The continuous criticism has done its work, hand-in-hand with a brazenly un-objective news media turning millions of people around the world against Israel.
