Islamic-dominated UN Human Rights Council censures Israel for the 16th time!: ’

How did this one-sided council ever get formed?  Switzerland even voted against Israel and actively lobbied for the censor.  Most troubling.

The UN Human Rights Council today adopted its 16th one-sided censure of Israel since the supposedly reformed body was founded in June 2006. Apart from passing mention of Burma, the Islamic-dominated council of 47 governments has criticized no other country.

The Arab-sponsored censure came under the council’s only agenda item dedicated to a specific country. In order to rap Israel quickly, the entire timetable of the March session was rearranged, wreaking havoc on the ability of UN experts and NGO activists to participate when their areas of focus will now be debated.

….Israeli Ambassador Itzhak Levanon said Israel had the right to self defense in the face of daily Hamas rocket attacks. “I cannot compete with the exaggerations, distortion and inaccuracies I have witnessed in today’s masquerade.â€

The final resolution was adopted by 33 votes in favor, with Canada casting the sole opposing vote, and 13 abstentions. Switzerland was the sole European country to endorse the resolution, which was introduced by the Arab and Islamic blocs. Switzerland also actively lobbied other countries to support the condmenation of Israel by suggesting minor changes.
