If it did not have Israel to condemn, the United Nations so-called Human Rights Council would have not accomplished a single thing since its formation seven months ago.
Friday saw the HRC pass a seventh resolution critical of Israel, this time noting that Israel had so far failed to release the terrorist Hamas PA members it holds in prison.
Despite the mass of human rights abuses being perpetrated in Arab and other countries around the globe, the council has not issued a single resolution against any other state.
Neither has it condemned Syria, Lebanon, Iran or Egypt for those nations' complicity in the kidnapping of three Israeli soldiers.
In this way the HRC has proven to be very much a product of the antisemitic UN, which in the 60 years of its existence has never missed an opportunity pass to vilify the Jewish national home.
The UN - the vast majority of whose member states either hate Israel or find her a useful scapegoat to distract attention from their own failings - has condemned the Jewish state more than any other nation.
