One-Sided UN Report Ignores Essential Context
(Canada Free Press) UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer said the UN Human Rights Council's latest report is categorically one-sided, denying the slightest consideration to any basic human rights for Israelis. The report disregards the thousands of suicide bombings, knifings, and other terrorist attacks committed by Palestinian Arab groups, failing to acknowledge how this violence brought about Israeli security measures in the territories that did not previously exist. By calling for the forced eviction of Jews from Jerusalem's Old City, the UN body endorses a policy inconsistent with UN conventions on the elimination of racism. In the entire history of the HRC, there have been seven one-sided inquiry missions on Israel, and only five on the rest of the world combined.
