UN condemns Israel for not sharing Iron Dome with Hamas

You honestly could not make this stuff up...

The UN's top human rights official again condemned Israel for its military actions to stop Hamas rocket attacks against Israeli civilians, accusing the Jewish state of “deliberately defying International Law... in a way that may constitute war crimes.”

Navi Pillay told reporters following yet another "emergency" meeting of the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council that Israel was not doing enough to protect civilians. "There is a strong possibility,” said the known Israel critic, “that international law has been violated, in a manner that could amount to war crimes.”

Among the UN’s long bill of particulars against the beleaguered Jewish state comes the almost unbelievable accusation that Israel’s refusal to share its Iron Dome ballistic missile defense shield with the "governing authority" of Gaza – i.e. Hamas, the terror group created to pursue the extermination of the Jewish state and now waging a terrorist war against it – constitutes a war crime against the civilians of Gaza.

The UN chairwoman criticized the U.S. for helping fund Israel's Iron Dome system which has saved countless Israeli and Palestinian lives. "No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling," she said.

Just because Hamas fires rockets indiscriminately aimed at Israeli civilian population centers without provocation and fires them from within its own population centers does not “absolve” Israel from its own legal violations, Pillay told reporters Thursday.

Marking the end of her contentious, six-year term as chairman of the notoriously anti-Israel UNHRC, Pillay saved her harshest condemnations for what she termed Israeli "targeting" of UN-run schools and hospitals in Gaza. She did not mention, nor was she reminded by any of the reporters present, that as of this writing, at least three UN-run schools in Gaza have been used as rocket warehouses, a gross violation of international law that clearly falls within the category of war crimes. Neither did she mention, nor was she reminded, that in at least two of the three cases cited above, the terror rockets found on UN property in Gaza were returned to Hamas by the UN.

"What I'm seeing now is a recurrence of the very acts that the Gaza fact-finding mission indicated as constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity," she said.

The UN’s Human Rights Council has long been a source of deep embarrassment to some UN supporters all-too-conscious that the council is widely regarded as a cesspool of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred, manipulated by the world’s very worst human rights abusers to cover up their own gross abuses of human rights by scapegoating Israel.

Current members of the UN Human Rights Council include China, Russia, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia. Iran and North Korea have been recent active members of the body. So execrable were the actions and abuses of the UNHRC in the past that the body was in fact disbanded in 2006 after the late terrorist leader of Libya Muammar Gaddafi was elected President of the Council.

While Israel is the only country in the world that remains a standing agenda item at every session, the human rights body has to date said nothing about the recent Russian-backed shooting down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine, nor has it condemned the ongoing mass killings in Syria or South Sudan. North Korea, China, Pakistan, Syria, Sudan, or Iran, all recent or current members of the council, have never been condemned by it.

The UNHRC has never formally mentioned “Hamas” by name, let alone condemned it.

From 2006 through 2012, Israel was formally condemned by the UNHRC at least 47 times.

If Israel shares iron dome with Hamas, maybe Hamas should share its tunnels with the Israelis.

It is times like this when I really want the U.N. to shrivel up and die.

Like all political organizations, the UN can only represent the attitudes held by the majority in its nation members. In this case, it's jewhate. They're all crawling out from under their rocks...

Moving past your incredibly boring skip in the argument record...

This deserves to be in the OL Horror File, or, the humor file...

Let's see, the US should have shared the nuclear technology we were working on, secretly, in Chicago, with the Nazi's and the Emperor of Japan, really?

Good one! We have to try find some wry humour out of all this. Another, on BBC today some Palestinian bigwig ranting about Hamas' rockets being merely "symbolic" like women crying from the roofs of Gaza - as close as I could understand.

High velocity explosive shells from the merchavot (tanks) are equally symbolic.

Guys...

It is truly simple.

If I am the PM of Israel, I would declare that Gaza is to be transformed...

First, it will be levelled.

Second, William Jefferson Clinton and George W. Bush the 2nd will establish a fund to rebuild Gaza.

Third, the rockets will stop, the tunnels will be sealed and we will be able to transform Gaza.

Next...

Not surprised with anything The United Nutjobs does.

Can an individual taxpayer, in good standing with the IRS,demand that the specific "amount" of their federal tax allocation that is designated through the Article I powers of the Congress, that they disagree with?

Similar to the decisions about union dues that have recently been adjudicated.

Does the taxpayer have standing?

Now that you got that clever statement out, you accept that your personal tax dollar supports your statement?

AR's take on the U.N. From Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

The issues may be different, but many of the players still remain.

"Psychologically, the U.N. has contributed a great deal to the gray swamp of demoralization—of cynicism, bitterness, hopelessness, fear and nameless guilt—which is swallowing the Western world. But the communist world has gained a moral sanction, a stamp of civilized respectability from the Western world—it has gained the West’s assistance in deceiving its victims—it has gained the status and prestige of an equal partner, thus establishing the notion that the difference between human rights and mass slaughter is merely a difference of political opinion.

The declared goal of the communist countries is the conquest of the world. What they stand to gain from a collaboration with the (relatively) free countries is the latter’s material, financial, scientific, and intellectual resources; the free countries have nothing to gain from the communist countries. Therefore, the only form of common policy or compromise possible between two such parties is the policy of property owners who make piecemeal concessions to an armed thug in exchange for his promise not to rob them.

The U.N. has delivered a larger part of the globe’s surface and population into the power of Soviet Russia than Russia could ever hope to conquer by armed force. The treatment accorded to Katanga versus the treatment accorded to Hungary, is a sufficient example of U.N. policies. An institution allegedly formed for the purpose of using the united might of the world to stop an aggressor, has become means of using the united might of the world to force the surrender of one helpless country after another into the aggressor’s power.

Who, but a concrete-bound epistemological savage, could have expected any other results from such an “experiment in collaboration”? What would you expect from a crime-fighting committee whose board of directors included the leading gangsters of the community?"

I am paying and I am crying. So I guess the answer is yes.

Just plug in Islamic fascists in place of Russia, and many of her same principles hold true. There was pressure on Israel not to "overreact" (as in properly defend itself) so as not to inflame the jewhaters. Oops... too late for that.

There is an auspicious day coming soon. On the Jewish calendar it is the 9th of Av.

Because the Jewish calendar is lunar, this year the 9th of Av is sunset August 4th to sunset August 5th.

On that date in history:

587BC Jewish temple in Jerusalem destroyed

AD70 Jewish temple in Jerusalem destroyed

AD133 Jewish rebellion ended in final slaughter by Romans

AD134 Jewish temple in Jerusalem plowed over

1492AD Jews expelled from Spain, Inquisition begins

1290AD Jews expelled from Britain

(1914 World War I begins)

2005 Jews removed from Gaza...

From the 1964 Playboy interview:

PLAYBOY: Would you favor U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations?

RAND: Yes. I do not sanction the grotesque pretense of an organization allegedly devoted to world peace and human rights, which includes Soviet Russia, the worst aggressor and bloodiest butcher in history, as one of its members. The notion of protecting rights, with Soviet Russia among the protectors, is an insult to the concept of rights and to the intelligence of any man who is asked to endorse or sanction such an organization. I do not believe that an individual should cooperate with criminals, and, for all the same reasons, I do not believe that free countries should cooperate with dictatorships.

Well ok mail them then lol.

Speaking of mail try mailing a letter to Israel right now using the US postal service. They are illegally denying letters! It was only supposed to be parcels while the planes were not allowed to land.

I wonder if this is the work of CAIR putting pressure on the whitehouse or just our muslim in chief being a dick.

Islamic culture, generally speaking, is one of the most fucked-up cultures in the history of humankind.

Unlike most Christians, who practice and enjoy the benefits of religious hypocrisy, far too many Muslims take their religion seriously.

You nailed it!

Even so called terrorists in their eyes they are simply pious men doing "gods work".

Here I thought god was supposed to be omnipotent! What the hell does he need their help for!

Faith, the Ebola of the Islamic world. Bloody nutters. What kind of monsters pollute the minds of their own children to strap suicide vests on!

As far as I can tell that's the only reason Palestinians get so upset when they show body counts of civilian casualties. Their children died before being saddled up with explosives AND their rockets got destroyed.

It is their pass into Paradise and into the warm willing arms of 72 dark eyed virgins.
