TEAR DOWN THIS WALL
March 22, 2012
By Sara Noble To further my point about the NAACP betraying their nation by referring our Voter ID laws to the UN Human Rights Council [NAACP At Their Worst], I have included a story about the absurdity of the Council itself, which is made up of such human rights violators as China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia et al.
They have condemned Israel with five resolutions.
The moral equivalence being drawn between voter ID laws, Jews building in their own country, and nations that slaughter baby girls, don’t allow women to vote, and commit genocide is truly irrational and unacceptable.
The U.S. should fight the UN hypocrisy and not placate them or hand over US internal issues to them. I don’t care what Iran thinks or what any of them think and I don’t believe a word of what they say. They have an agenda and it is consistently anti-US and anti-Israel.
UN Watch: GENEVA, March 22 – The 47-nation UN Human Rights Council today adopted five resolutions condemning Israel, including one that creates a new “fact-finding mission” into alleged Israeli violations relating to settlements, a mandate the UN estimates will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“On the same day that the UN Human Rights Council severely watered-down a text allowing Sri Lanka to determine what advice it receives from the UN—and after the council ignored our own proposed resolutions for victims of abuses in China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe—the session directed half of all its condemnatory resolutions against one single state, Israel,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.
“Sadly, the council remains partisan, selective and politicized, and is failing its founding mission to defend the world’s victims of human rights violations.”
“The council’s new fact-finding mission on settlements–whose co-sponsors include Syria and Iran–is a fraud, with the guilty verdict determined in advance. The egregiously one-sided resolution omits any mention of officially-sanctioned Palestinian terrorism, rocket fire targeting civilians and incitement to hatred, anti-Semitism and genocide.”
“The PA and the Arab and Islamic states sponsoring the text know full well that Israel will not legitimize this latest kangaroo court, and are therefore acting with the intent to subvert, rather than advance, any prospect of a bilateral negotiated peace agreement and mutual reconciliation.”…

Israel Won't Cooperate with UNHRC's 'Goldstone 2'
Diplomatic source: Israel will not cooperate with the UNHRC's “fact-finding mission”, won't legitimize an illegitimate body.By Elad BenariFirst Publish: 3/23/2012, 6:12 AMISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addresses the KnessetIsrael news photo: Flash 90Israel announced on Thursday night that it would not be cooperating with the United Nations Human Rights Council’s (UNHRC) new “fact-finding mission” to investigate alleged Israeli violations relating to communities in Judea and Samaria.
An anonymous diplomatic source toldArmy Radio following the UNHRC’s announcement on Thursday, that Israel would not cooperate with the mission, saying that Israel “will not give legitimacy to a body that is not legitimate.”
Earlier, the 47-nation UNHRC adopted five resolutions condemning Israel, including one that establishes the mission. The vote was 36 in favor, 1 against (U.S.) and 10 abstaining.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was quick to issue a statement denouncing the UNHRC. “This is a hypocritical council with an automatic majority against Israel. This council ought to be ashamed of itself," he said.
"Until today, the council has made 91 decisions, 39 of which dealt with Israel, three with Syria and one with Iran," the prime minister noted. "One only had to hear the Syrian representative speak today about human rights in order to understand how detached from reality the council is. Another proof of its detachment from reality came last week when it invited before it a representative of Hamas, an organization whose ideology is based on the murder of innocents.”
Earlier this week, the Palestinian Authority announced it plans to approach the UNHRC and ask it to investigate the ‘Israeli crimes’ in Judea and Samaria.
The PA’s Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Malki, said the PA would ask the UNHRC to appoint an international fact-finding commission “to come to the occupied Palestinianterritory to witness first hand the illegal Israeli practices violating Palestinian people’s rights.”
