(Fox News) Ben Evansky - Michael Lynk, a special investigator assigned by the UN Human Rights Council to look into abuses in the Palestinian territories, left out any mention of actual Palestinian abuses in his report, focusing only on Israel. Lynk seemed unaware that two of his predecessors had in fact included human rights abuses by Palestinians in their reports. Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, said, "By any definition of human rights, morality and logic, if Mr. Lynk is a United Nations human rights monitor for the Palestinian Territories, he must address Palestinian Authority and Hamas torture and arbitrary arrest committed against their own people." Neuer also cited the killing of Israelis in terror attacks. Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said, "The UN Human Rights Council has lost its legitimacy as it focuses obsessively on attacking Israel instead of working on resolving the real human rights problems plaguing the world. The Council has lost all touch with reality and the original intent upon which it was founded." 2017-10-30 00:00:00Full Article
