The U.N. Bias

There is clearly a global double standard applied in the arena of human rights. Israel, a paragon of human and civil rights in the Middle East, is the focus of the most attention from the rest of the world in this area, when many other worse violators receive scant attention. Israel's actions of self-defense against terrorists are criticized as human rights violations. In fact, Muslim countries have united to form a bloc in the U.N. Human Rights Council (which many of them do not even deserve to sit on, as shown by their own human rights records) to pass forward automatic and regular examinations of human rights in Israel--and you can be sure these are not fair towards Israel. Meanwhile, the Council has not even condemned the genocide in Darfur--only condemning Israel. Israel is the only U.N. member country barred from sitting on the Council! In the recent war with Hizbullah, the Council only criticized Israel, and not Hizbullah, which was firing rockets at Israeli civilians every day!
