  1. Israel’s foreign minister Saar announced that Israel will be joining the US and leave the UN “Human Rights” council.

    *”In the UNHRC, Israel is the only country with an agenda item dedicated solely to it. Israel has been subjected to over 100 condemnatory resolutions, over 20% of all resolutions ever passed in the Council – more than against Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela combined.”*

    I think that regardless of your position of Israel, admitting this bias is absolutely nuts should be agreed by any honest person.

    This page by the Jewish Virtual Library has more information about the different resolutions by UNHRC: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/unhrc-anti-israel-resolutions-2006-present

    The top picture says it all.

  2. Hmmm bombed hospitals and refugee camps but upset that they aren’t being shown in good light. How does that work?

  3. I mean, it does. Almost every single motion from the human rights council condemns Israel. While it might be justified, they seem perfectly fine not saying anything about North Korea, Saudi Arabia etc.

    Edit: source since you guys can’t use Google. Granted this is from 2006 to 2015 but things haven’t been better since.

    Edit 2: here’s 2015 to 2022. Somehow even worse.

  7. the State of Israel had been condemned in 45 resolutions by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). As of 2013

    North korea has 21

    Cuba also has less

    So does Venezuela and iran

    Literally iran has an ambassador in it

    All of these combined dont reach over the number israel has.

    They have a section specifically for israel

    20%+ of their resolutions are against israel alone. And for what?

    This decision is right unfortunately.

  8. I mean dropping bombs on refugee camps will be something that draws criticisms…

  10. This is because we have higher expectations for Israel as a Western democracy. Would Israel prefer we expect less of them? And to not take them seriously? I’m constantly disappointed and critical of my own country (US) because we could be so much better.
