UN Terror Supporting Network Gunning for Israel
UN panel says Israel's operation in Gaza violates human rights laws
The UN Human Rights Council on Thursday deplored Israel's military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as breaching international humanitarian law.
By a vote of 29-11 with five abstentions, the council approved the resolution proposed by the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference after it was amended to suggest the Palestinians also had a responsibility to refrain from violence against civilians.
"It is absolutely unacceptable" that the resolution only names Israel, Israeli Ambassador Itzhak Levanon told The Associated Press.
Switzerland said Thursday that armed Palestinian groups should be called to account in a proposed UN resolution blaming Israel for violence against civilians.
Earlier in the week, Switzerland said that Israel has been violating international law in its Gaza offensive by heavy destruction and endangering civilians in acts of collective punishment banned under the Geneva conventions on the conduct of warfare.
Switzerland proposed the amendments in an emergency session of the UN body, which decided last week as one of its first acts to make it a priority to examine Israel's human rights practices in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The emergency session, which began Wednesday, had to be carried over until Thursday after reservations arose about the Muslim states' proposal, which singled out Israel for breaches "of international humanitarian law and human rights law in the occupied Palestinian territory."
Israel's ambassador to the UN's European headquarters in Geneva called the session "a planned and premeditated" attack on his country, and said it continued the anti-Israel bias set by the discredited U.N. Human Rights Commission, which was phased out this year.
This bull is incomprehensible! Israel has shown unbelievable restraint.
Wild Thing's comment.......
First I have to say that I HATE the UN. And I resent that it is on our land and that we have anything to do with it. I totally resent it!!!!!!!!!
Apparently they don't feel that firing rockets into Israeli schools or suicide bombers blowing themselves up in pizza parlors are a "breach of humanitarian law". The U.N. won't be happy until Israel is destroyed and the Jewish race is wiped out. How else can you explain this absurdity? And I will add also that the U.N. is an enemy of the United States, Israel, and freedom lovers the world over.
