The US has threatened to re-evaluate its membership of the UN Human Rights Council, after it adopted five ‘biased’ anti-Israeli resolutions condemning its policies and calling on the world community to halt arms sales to Tel Aviv. The point which needs to be made here is why the US is so biased in being PRO-Israel? Why is America going against the wind? Why is it so obsessed with protecting Israel no matter how it behaves? Who really controls America? I wonder…..
Following a month-long 37th session in Geneva, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) approved five ‘anti-Israel’ resolutions. One of the resolutions, titled ‘Ensuring accountability and justice for all violations of international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem’, condemned “all violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law” against Palestinians.
Acknowledging the “widespread and unprecedented levels of destruction, death and human suffering” in the occupied territories, the UNHRC urged member states to stop selling arms to Tel Aviv.
The resolution specifically “calls upon all States to promote compliance with international law” to ensure that “authorities and private entities do not become involved in internationally unlawful conduct, inter alia the provision of arms to end users” which engage in “serious violations of international humanitarian and/or human rights law.”
The US, which signed the biggest military agreement with Israel in September 2016, on Friday tried to protect its assets, worth $38 billion over 10 years. The agreement, which goes into effect in 2019, represents a 20 percent increase from the previous US aid deal of $3.1 billion annually. Slamming UNHRC’s anti-Israeli stance, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley threatened that the US may quit the 47-member UN body.
“The United States continues to evaluate our membership in the Human Rights Council. Our patience is not unlimited,” Haley declared on Friday. “Today’s actions make clear that the organization lacks the credibility needed to be a true advocate for human rights.”
Haley also slammed the non-binding message contained in the other resolutions presented by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Council, under ‘Agenda Item 7’, which only covers Israel. Other country-specific resolutions of the day adopted by the Rights Council focused on Syria, South Sudan, Myanmar, Iran and North Korea.
Four other Israel-related decisions which the UNHRC passed on Friday included a resolution which calls on Tel Aviv to withdraw from the Golan Heights, while another sought Palestinian self-determination along the 1967 borders. The fourth resolution condemned Israeli settlements, while the final document slammed Tel Aviv for human rights abuses against the Palestinians.
All of the resolutions denounced the policies which Washington has been increasingly neglecting, and tacitly supporting, under the Donald Trump administration. Haley has called the council’s actions “foolish” and “grossly biased” against Israel.
“When the Human Rights Council treats Israel worse than North Korea, Iran, and Syria, it is the Council itself that is foolish and unworthy of its name,” Haley said in the statement. “It is time for the countries who know better to demand changes. Many countries agree that the Council’s agenda is grossly biased against Israel, but too few are willing to fight it.”
This is not the first time that the US envoy defended Israel’s position at the UN. In December, Haley noted that the UN remains a “hostile place for the State of Israel” wondering why “Israel would choose to remain in the UN given that body’s clear antipathy towards the Jewish state.” She has also defended Trump’s December 6 decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and criticized the failure of the previous administration to veto December 2016’s Security Council Resolution 2334, condemning Israeli settlements.

The U.S. has always been, and for the foreseeable future, it will likely continue to be Israel’s bitch! No matter what the nation of Israel does, even when it does bad things to the U.S., the idiots in DC continue to be a slave to Israel. In my honest opinion, the U.S. should not be giving foreign aid to ANY other nation. We cannot even pay our own damn bills. When a nation has to constantly borrow money from other countries in order to pay its bills, it should not be giving money away to anyone, EVER. And yet, we give billions of dollars a year to God only knows how many other countries. It is nothing less than pure insanity. At some point the U.S. stopped being what it was supposed to be, a Constitutional republic. And it became an empire which seeks to control and rule the entire planet/globe. And America will at some point (probably sooner than later) do exactly what every other “empire” has done, it will simply collapse. Exactly like the Greeks; the Romans; the British; the Spanish: the French and every other nation that has tried to rule the world. Anyone who actually believed the total bullshit that came out of George “Dubya” Bush’s mouth, when he said that these people attacked us because they “hate our freedoms” is a complete and total moron. The U.S. desperately needs to go back to being a nation, and give up this insanity of ruling the globe. Think about that people, that isn’t just crazy, that is evil. I hoped that President Trump would be different, but so far, he has been an even bigger ass-kisser of Israel and AIPAC, than many past presidents. I still think that he was preferable to Hillary Clinton, but he has been doing some of the same stupid things that his predecessors have done. He had no reason and no right to bomb Syria. And now he is making an even bigger mistake by siding with the UK in attacking Russia. He is believing the lies of the same intelligence agency (MI6) that lied about him! Who in the hell would actually do such a thing. It was British intelligence who sided will Clinton and tried to destroy Trump. And now he is siding with them against Russia. It is nothing but endless insanity. May God help us before these evil bastard start WW3.
