On Saturday The Times of Israel<\/a> posted an article about the latest meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council<\/a> (UNHRC) meeting. The UNHRC voted for five resolutions condemning Israel<\/a>. The resolutions were widely supported by the UNHRC. There were no resolutions regarding the persecutions of Christians in Syria, Saudi Arabia<\/a>, Iran, or Egypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

One such resolution, entitled \u201cIsraeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories<\/a>, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan<\/a>,\u201d is part of the UNHRC\u2019s permanent Agenda item 7 on Israel. Israel is the only country on the Council\u2019s permanent agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the four resolutions that dealt with Palestinian topics were all adopted by a vote of 46 to 1, the fifth, which was sponsored by the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad<\/a> and demanded that Israel return the \u201cSyrian Golan,\u201d received more limited support. That resolution passed by a vote of 33 to 1, with 13 abstentions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the debate before the votes, US<\/a> Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Paula Schriefer denounced the resolutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNone of the world\u2019s worst human rights violators, some of whom are the object of resolutions at this session, have their own stand-alone agenda item at this Council. Only Israel, a vibrant and open democracy, receives such treatment,\u201d said Schriefer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are the resolutions under this agenda item biased, but they work against our collective efforts to advance a peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict<\/a>,\u201d added Schriefer, who led the U.S. delegation to the UNHRC. \u201cThis Council continually singles out Israel for criticism without acknowledging the violent attacks directed at its people, nor the obligations and difficult steps of both sides to resolve the conflict.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christians in Egypt, Syria<\/a>, and Iran<\/a> are being beaten and killed, and the UNHRC is worried about Israel, where Arabs have more freedom than anywhere in the Middle East. Really? It is time for America to ask the United Nations<\/a> to go somewhere else. The United Nations has been taken over by a political bloc of countries that are run by tyrants who do not support democracy or religious freedom. It is time for them to go.<\/p>\n
