The United Nations Human Rights Council is ironically named. Nothing inflames Jew-haters more than Jews defending themselves. That’s their “crime.” As for Iran, Sudan, Turkey, et al, their war crimes against their own people are sanctioned by these savages.
What does the US continue to fund this vile Jew-hating organization?

The United Nations Human Rights Council voted 23-9 for an arms embargo against Israel and the prosecution of Israelis for war crimes for IDF actions along the Gaza border last year.
Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Fiji, Hungary, Togo and the Ukraine all opposed the resolution.
The vote was held on Friday in Geneva, as the UNHRC wraps up its 40th session.
There were also 14 countries who abstained: Argentina, the Bahamas, Croatia, Congo, Denmark, Iceland, India, Italy, Japan, Nepal, Rwanda, Slovakia United Kingdom, and Uruguay.
Spain was the only European county that belongs to the 47-member UNHRC, which voted in favor of the resolution.
Togo had initially been counted as having abstained, but according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry, that vote was in error and Togo is changing it to a vote against the report.
The resolution, calls for the approval of a 252-page report on IDF violence against the Hamas led weekly protests along the Gaza border, called the Great March of Return.
It looked at the 189 Palestinians deaths and more than 6,000 injuries that occurred during the first nine months of the protest, which is still ongoing.
The report and its accompanying “accountability” resolution had initially been debated under Agenda Item 7, along with four other anti-Israel resolutions.
Israel has pushed for the elimination of Agenda Item 7, which holds that alleged Israeli human rights abuses must be debated under this line item at every UNHRC session. No other country is singled out in this way.
The United Kingdom and Denmark on Thursday said that in protest over such bias, they would oppose all resolution tabled under Agenda Item 7.
At the last moment, in a minor nod to the growing European unease with Agenda Item 7, the “accountability” resolution was moved to Item 2.
Palestinian Ambassador Ibrahim Khraishi said the report showed “there has been deliberate killing and targeting of 180 civilians protected by the law, including 35 children and two journalists.”

When one analyzes this vote, one concludes that the numbers themselves speak volumes. Essentially the numbers show a tie vote, when you add together the abstentions with the no votes. The best that can be said of this U.N. group is that some of the members of the U.N., obviously not the Arab states, may finally be beginning to see the light, recognizing who the antaganists are, not the Israeli’s, but in fact are the Gazan’s, Hezbollah, Iran. The hate and violence they promote is old now, but it continues unabetted. Israel and the free world will ignore this vote, as it, like so much of what the U.N. does is meaningless. Maybe the world of reality might take hold with the non-Islamic nations around this world, and they will continue to recognize the inanity of the hate and violence that constantly emanates from the Arab/Islamic world. With what is happening in countries where these people migrate too, I expect that many countries who are adversely affected are possibly beginning to see the light.
Maybe. The media hides truth. BDS has been very effective.
Anti Israel propaganda is more of what people hear due to CENSORSHIP!
Your comment is right on. The suppressed anti-Semitism, which often lies dormant, has become active today, and it is reflected in the media and many world leaders. What makes that really sad is the fact that if other nations would accept the reality which has established Israel as a world leader in trade, productivity, humanitarianism, and fairness in its political structure and the benefits of being a citizen there, maybe they would all realize that to try to emulate Israel’s accomplishments might be in there best interests.
That’s over 15000 rockets launched at Israel this century — not including 2014 to 2019 or any of the heavy mortar rounds that can range Israeli populated areas from the Gaza Shite.
dropping thousands laser guided smart precision bombs into biggest prison camps … where Gazans can’t go other place to hide …where thousand of babies, childrens and civilians killed … is NOT an act of defense … moron !!!!!
If you dumb, Jew hating, muslum vermin were to stop firing rockets and mortar rounds into Israel, Israel wouldn’t have to retaliate and kill your fellow muslum vermin.
Why don’t you jam a kassam rocket up your rectum and light it off SemenJergoffMonkeyAnus?
is that retaliation or committing war crimes against people you already oppressed …hey dumb hate monger ?????
How many Jews live in the Gaza Shite again SemenJergoffMonkeyAnus? One of the first things your fellow muslum vermin did when they took control of Gaza was to raze any and all de-consecrated synagogues to the ground.
what jews number in gaza has anything to do with war crimes committed by Israhell …hey dumb hatemonger ????
What war crimes muslum chumpanzee? The right for the kafir al najjis to defend themselves from muslum aggression is NOT a war crime dumb Indonesian muslum chump.
If you dumb, Jew hating, muslum vermin were to stop firing rockets and mortar rounds into Israel, Israel wouldn’t have to retaliate and kill your fellow muslum vermin.
Why don’t you jam a kassam rocket up your rectum and light it off SemenJergoffMonkeyAnus?
thats not a part of the indoctrination!!!
It’s horrifying that defending your own country, such as Israel, is now a “war crime”.
dropping thousands laser guided smart precision bombs into biggest prison camps … where Gazans can’t go other place to hide …where thousand of babies, childrens and civilians killed … is NOT an act of defense … moron !!!!
When a nation brainwashes it’s children to hate and murder, the object of that hatred has to defend itself. Had the terrorists and Terrorist leadership not started the fight with Israel, all these people would be alive- so, the Palestinian terrorist leadership should be held accountable.
F*CK the UN and their muslim voters!!!!! Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US now!!!!!!!

Obsessed with destroying and harassing Jews. Something wrong with the UN. Worthless rubbish organization. Only obsessed with taking money from the West and harassing Jews..
Why the swastika? Stop confusing people. Screw the NWO aka United Nations World Wide Elitist Commie Club. They have no business in other countries government.. No one elected them.
LOOK at those “representatives” the USA sent to the Founding Convention of the U.N.
Here they are – with their KGB code names.
Solomon Adler = “SACHS” in Golos-Bentley group – in Treasury Dept
Virginius Frank Coe = “PEAK” – was in Treasury Dept – US rep to IMF
Laurence Duggan = “FRANK” PRINCE” or “SHERWOOD”
Noel Field – in State Dept
Harold Glasser = “RUBLE” – Perlo Group – Treasury dept, War Production Board
Alger Hiss = “ALES” in State Dept, FDR advisor at Yalta – worked for GRU – Chairman at UN conference
Victor Perlo = “RAIDER” was at Treasury and War Production Board
Abraham George Silverman = “AILERON” – Asst chief of Air staff – Silvermaster Group
Nathan Gregory Silvermaster = “PAL” “ROBERT” Board of Economic Warfare
William Taylor – Silvermaster Group – at Treasury
William Ludwig Ullman – Silvermaster Group – at Treasury
Henry Julian Wadleigh – at State Dept
not to mention
Harry Dexter White = “JURIST” “LAWYER” “RICHARD” asst Sec of Treasury – wrote a tax plan for Soviet Union !
Do you think that maybe I should be a wee bit concerned about whether these people were representing America ?
And not just in the USA – same in England
google “cambridge Spies”
That would be Kim Philby – head of Brit counter intelligence. He worked for STALIN.
