(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Israel's Ambassador to UN headquarters in Geneva, Aviva Raz Shechter, on Sunday accused the UN Human Rights Council of unfairly targeting Israel and attempting to foster "institutionalized anti-Semitism" through the notorious Agenda Item 7, the only permanent item on the Council's agenda against a particular country. It requires Israel's record on human rights to be debated in practically every meeting of the council. Accusing the UNHRC of aiding and abetting Palestinian recalcitrance in accepting any peace plan, Shechter said: "The United Nations called for the creation of two states in November 1947. The UN resolution was accepted by the Jewish side and rejected by the Arab side. The Arab effort to deny and destroy the Jewish State started immediately - and for some, has never ceased." "But the fact is - demonstrated over and over at the UN Human Rights Council and across the UN system - Palestinian leadership and its representatives prefer victimhood to peace, PR stunts to truth, blame games to taking responsibility either for what has been or what could be."2020-06-23 00:00:00Full Article
