To UN's Ban Ki-Moon and Navi Pillay, targeted attacks on Jewish vacationers aren't terrorism

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon issued a much milder reaction to Wednesday's terror attack against Israeli tourists in Bulgaria than the reaction he issued to the murders of Christian worshipers in Kenyan churches two weeks ago.

And so called 'high commissioner of human rights' Navi Pillay has had nothing to say about Wednesday's terror attack in Bulgaria. Nothing at all. This is from United Nations Watch:

• A U.N. spokesperson said that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms." In fact, however, the U.N. chief's choice of terms was weak in comparison to his statement two weeks ago on the bombing of churches in Kenya. In that case, Mr. Ban rightly spoke of "terrorist" attacks, "reprehensible and criminal," saying the perpetrators "must be held to account." Yet today he referred only to the deadly "bombing" of Israelis -- noticeably declining to describe it as an act of terrorism -- and he made no call for holding the perpetrators to account. UN Watch today urged Mr. Ban to clarify his position and to truly use the strongest possible terms to condemn today's terrorist attack.

• U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has remained silent on today's attack. By contrast, hours after the Gaza Flotilla incident of 2010, Ms. Pillay expresed her "shock" and condemned Israel. The top story on her office website instead criticizes Western states for how they combat terrorism, with America accused of having "dangerous" laws that violate due process. Supported by a Facebook campaign now going viral, UN Watch called on the High Commissioner to speak out for victims of terrorism, condemn today's gruesome murders in Bulgaria, and instruct her staff to investigate the perpetrators and hold them fully accountable for the crimes.

The entire United Nations establishment - and especially its so-called 'human rights' establishment - is beyond salvation. It must be dismantled and its rotten anti-Semitic core has to be dumped on the garbage heap of history. It's long past time.
