(JNS) The UN Human Rights Council passed five anti-Israel resolutions in Geneva on Friday. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley expressed America's outrage at the UNHRC's treatment of Israel and warned that the U.S. would reconsider its membership in the body. "When the Human Rights Council treats Israel worse than North Korea, Iran, and Syria, it is the Council itself that is foolish and unworthy of its name....Our patience is not unlimited. Today's actions make clear that the organization lacks the credibility needed to be a true advocate for human rights." One resolution called on Israel to give the Golan Heights to civil war-torn Syria. Another called on member states not to sell any military armaments to Israel. Others called for an Israeli withdrawal to the 1948 lines and to cease building homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria (West Bank). All the resolutions were authored by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
