So china - a member of the UN, and Nigeria, and Sudan and Cambodia, and Syria, Libya, Egypt etc.... They shouldnt be held to a higher standard? Is this the "humans rights council for democratic nations" or is it the humans rights council the world over.
That explanation, i hope you can see, is quite unsatisfactory.
I agree that there should be greater emphasis on other transgressors of human rights - Solving the Israeli/Palestine issue should free up a lot of UN time. Hope to see it in my lifetime

Just based on the hebrew characters in your avatar, I would hazard a guess that you have no small measure of bias yourself.
How is that remotely relevant here? Am i being biased? Is it biased for me to say that the UN since the late 70s has become increasingly anti-Israel?
However, I would like to remind the readers that bias against the GOVERNMENT of Israel is NOT bias against Jewish people. Anyone who would suggest such a thing is just as guilty of racism as the people they condem
How do you figure? Israel is the Jewish nation; or the Jew of the nations, in terms of the UN. Its merely a macrocosmic manifestation of the same ancient anti-semitism.

Are you being ironic?? You hope to see it in your lifetime??
Thats nice. So, in the mean time, let those in countries dealing with real humans rights issues - like the massacre in Sudan (a major beneficiary of US economic support) just wait till the Israel issue is solved???
Anyways. Im done talking to you. Youre an apologist for why what the UN is doing is ultimately justified.edit on 3-8-2011 by dontreally because: (no reason given)

Bombing allied ships in order to draw allies in to wars.. China
Creating the largest prison camp in the world in Gaza city.. China -> Ever seen all of China's prisons and "re-education" centres?
Treating Arabs as animals... China -> Han Chinese (majority) treat anyone different like white folk treated black people in 1960s America
Interfering in other nations affairs.. China does that a lot
Robbing and counterfiting passports from other nations... China also excels in this, corruption abound of course
carrying out extra judicial assinations in foreign countrys.. China's security services are no stranger to that kind of action
Bribing, manipulationg and usurping foreign governments.. Yeah, China
Murdering peacefull protesters.. China
Creating malicous computer viruses... China
using paid trolls to hijack and manipulate the blogsphere.. China
and too many other things to list in full...

No equal hatred for China? Face it, everyone can see that the number of UN resolutions against Israel is decidedly slanted when it comes to actually policing regimes. The unstable countries of the UN have it in for Israel, and everyone goes along with it because it's for "human rights" just like allowing China to suppress protesters and minorities is for "buying power".
Tsk tsk, you biased morons.edit on 8-8-2011 by Dnevnoi because: Needed a reddish tone

So, how about excusing the Nazis for what they did.... you know, because various other regimes/empires throughout history have also done bad things?
