Most people still use the "then they(hamas) must stop striking bombs on isreal" excuse,
but luckily that group is getting smaller each day, People are starting to wake up,
but that waking-up process is way slower then Isreal's destroying process apparently ...

Those who mention Hamas when it comes to illegal settlement expansion in Palestinian territories are obviously blind or purposely ignorant to the fact that Hamas is based in Gaza and the people having their homes demolished in the West Bank are not terrorists and their land is being stolen illegally which is probably why Israel ignores these meetings.

ETA:

I did not fully elaborate on the main point of this exact post. The citizens of Gaza and The West Bank are under different governmental organizations. Therefore, anyone who would justify the actions of Hamas as a reason to steal land in The West Bank truly has their head in the sand.

This post was not directed towards you, but to those who use Hamas as a justification for Israeli land theft in the illegally occupied West Bank.

It is sad that Israel had to resort to boycotting the 'RIGHTS' meeting.

But if the insignificant nobody me had been Israel, I too, will boycott that meeting.

What had UN human rights council done over the decades?

NOTHING.

Only to scream at those responding to threats, take them to task, rather than to get the killers.

Look at the issue of the Shias. Hundreds, if not thousands of them had been murdered by ignorant and crazed sunnis. What had the UN human rights done?

Look at Mali and the issue of shariah law imposition by the demons with its horrifying mutilations and deaths to innocents. What had UNHR done about the demons, but yet they chosed to focus on the revenge killings and investigate the malian army, letting the demons free.

Look at Syria with its 60,000 dead now. What had it done? It only blamed the rebels, the ones whom are fighting the existential threat, rather than to haul the humanslayer to court.

Look at Iran. The Ayatollahs had been terrorizing its own citizens had ordered the slaughter of innocents around the world. What had UNHR done? Nothing.

Look at Dafur. Thosands of innocents had been slaughtered.

Look at Pakistan. The taliban runs rampant, killing mercilessly, and yet UNHR looks the other way, and wants to prosecute US drone strikes???

Possible war in the south china seas by claimnant states and yet UNHR stays silent, be reactive rather than be proactive to show the high amounts of deaths and contamination of our seas should war breaks out, not to mention economic loss?

China, Africa, N.Korea, Russia, etc???

I can go on and on. Point is - what had UN Human Rights Council done for mankind?

It is supposed to be the premier agency in UN to watch over and protect the masses. It is the agency the masses can turn to for support, as it is the masses that form the majority, not the elites, and with such power, UNHR can practically help.

But it did not. It only supports the condemnation of govts that reacts to threats, instead of hitting out at the makers of threats. Perhaps it is easier to pinpoint blame on govt, as they are accountable, rather than to spend time and effort to get the mass slaughterers and defiers of mankind's human rights to justice.

May the UNHR chief reflects upon his capabilities, or rather, his lack and limitations, and then resign so that another, who is more capable, who sees realities without fear or favor, get things done and have the charisma to get states to band together stronger, and elevate the status of human rights for mankind.

Yes Israel cries every time that boycotts against Israel itself are suggested.

Oh, my head hurts...

if the u.n. was a complete joke, they wouldn't care what it said or did.

but that's not the case, every signatory agrees to it's decisions as it is made up by each country.

in the u.s. every treaty the government signs becomes the law of the land unless they pull out.

it also applies to almost every country, that has such provisions in it's constitutions etc.

the u.n. has a lot of avenues of appeal, the veto power being the strongest.

a nation either abides by the decisions, or face sanctions. if they pass sanctions then every signer is obligated to impose it officially.

unofficially its a different matter.

Israel can do NO WRONG even when they do WRONG the west will never hold them to account.
It is shocking the amount of power this tiny nation holds over the big boys
