Israel to UN Human Rights Council: "How Do You Expect Us to Take You Seriously?"
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - "You have an obsessive, compulsive disorder regarding Israel," the country's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Eviatar Manor, told the Human Rights Council on Tuesday. "Politicized debates, biased resolutions, preposterous reports, discriminatory conduct and unfounded accusations characterize the attitude of this Council and of the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights towards Israel," Manor said. "This Council's priorities are wide off the mark." How is it, that it has "an agenda item specifically dedicated to my country when the tragedies of Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, to name but a few, are unfolding and producing a tsunami of refugees about to engulf Europe? And you expect us to take you seriously?"
